"Collateral Damage" (2002)

DVD  Cover





 

Tagline: "What would you do if you lost everything?"

Length: 108 minutes
MPAA Rating: R for violence and some language


This is an Arnold Schwarzenegger action movie. Schwarzenegger plays Gordy Brewer, a Los Angeles fireman whose wife and son are killed during a terrorist bombing. At first Brewer believes that U.S. government agent Brandt (Elias Koteas) will bring the perpetrators to justice, but when he realizes his case isn't being vigorously pursued, he travels to Colombia to try to track down the terrorist leader Claudio (Cliff Curtis). On his revenge odyssey, Brewer meets various characters, such as those played by John Turturro, John Leguizamo, and Francesca Neri. But the plot hardly matters: The movie is really about action sequences where Schwarzenegger narrowly escapes with his life, even as he kills a bunch of people and blows a lot of stuff up.

Selected Special DVD Features:

  • Additional Scenes
  • Widescreen Anamorphic Format

Kevin Costner stars in this supernatural thriller. Kostner plays Joe Darrow, an emergency room physician in a Chicago hospital. Joe is stricken with grief when his beloved wife Emily, who is also a medical doctor, is accidentally killed in Venezuela while on a Red Cross volunteer mission. Emily had a birthmark that looked like a dragonfly, and she also left behind a dragonfly paperweight. Joe starts to visit some of Emily's pediatric oncology patients, some of whom have had near-death experiences and draw a squiggly cross.

Based on a video game, this cross between a technothriller and a zombie movie stars Milla Jovovich and Michelle Rodriguez. The humongous Umbrella Corporation conducts military research in an underground facility known as the Hive, which is controlled by a talking supercomputer called the Red Queen. When an accident releases the T-virus, the Red Queen puts the Hive in an automatic lockdown sequence, and many of the researchers end up in a zombie-like state. A special commando team, which includes the characters played by Jovovich and Rodriguez, is tasked with containing the T-virus. But the team is faced with many obstacles, including the Red Queen's defenses, the zombie-like creatures, and attacks by creepy entities created by the diabolical Umbrella Corporation.
