Reseñas
Anthony
Hill asks Deakins what he hopes to gain by kidnapping nuclear weapons, to which Deakins replies, "My agent bought me 5% of Volvo. The dividends alone will set me up for life." Looking back, there's a certain dark humor to it. Deakins probably never imagined that in 2010, Volvo would be acquired by Geely Automobile, a Chinese company led by entrepreneur Li Shufu.

John Travolta delivers an absolutely chilling performance. The helicopter explodes, and the nuclear weapon, which was set to detonate in half an hour and needed to be disarmed, is reconfigured by Travolta to explode in five minutes. His partner is understandably shocked and asks what he's planning. In that instant when Travolta looks up, you see pure, unadulterated evil in his eyes. It sent a shiver down my spine.

"Broken Arrow" is a nail-biting thriller packed with suspense and intense action. The scale of the set pieces, for its time, was truly impressive: cars, trains, helicopters – everything that could be blown up, was! Aside from the hero and heroine, anyone who happened to be in ground zero pretty much met their demise. And the destructive power of those nukes seemed surprisingly underwhelming. Travolta's performance, though, was definitely a highlight.
Kenneth
Another flashy action flick where the villain steals the show, radiating hardcore masculinity. The Hong Kong-style direction is quite distinct. Still not a fan of the cliché where the limitedly charismatic good guy wins through an improbable burst of inner strength. And damn, America is always on about nuclear crises, how about you actually detonate one for once?

I always relish watching Travolta play the villain. Alternatively, depending on the context, you could also say: * Travolta is great as the antagonist in this film. * I enjoy seeing Travolta in a villainous role.I think he does a great job.
Rachel
The film masterfully blurs the line between heroism and recklessness, as Vic Deakins' desperate acts of rebellion escalate into a race against time to prevent catastrophe. It's a thrilling exploration of power, consequences, and the thin line separating sanity from courage.
