The Peacemaker Reviews

After becoming a star with ‘E.R’. but before becoming one of the most inspiring actors around, George Clooney made first some rather dubious choices, actually pretty much like his best buddy Brad Pitt. Indeed, first, he went for "From Dusk until Dawn" which was quite a nice move as he could shake up his heartthrob image and this flick became a cult-classic, but then he made a really standard romantic comedy, "One fine day", and then, he made his worst decision so far by showing up in the worst super-hero flick ever made, "Batman & Robin", and then, finally, he made this action flick. To be honest, I have to admit it, it is actually rather well made but it still it was a pretty damned average, not original at all and rather predictable action flick. Concerning Nicole Kidman, she did what she could with a rather thankless part and I can’t say she had some great chemistry going on with Clooney. Luckilly, after this, Clooney made his first movie with Soderbergh, "Out of sight", and then his career took off and it didn't land yet. To conclude, I have seen worse but I don’t think it is really worth a look, except maybe if you are a die-hard fan of this fascinating actor.
