Just use brawn over brain in accepting the logical order of events in this film.

| Original Score: D | Jul 17, 2022

The subject matter is timely and relevant, but the attention to action over sincerity dulls the potency of the themes - as any shoot-'em-up Schwarzenegger movie should.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Sep 29, 2020

Schwarzenegger in very violent vigilante film.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 22, 2010

Straining every muscle not to offend, Collateral Damage counts basic coherence among its own casualties. But it's crystal clear on one point: Taking mercy on the "enemy," women and children included, is for wimps.

Schwarzenegger's Brewer remarks, 'If I don't do it, it seems no one else will,' but that's a lousy excuse for...a multi-million dollar mistake like this one. [Blu-ray]

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 25, 2009

I was thrown for a loop at how good this movie was and guys will love it.

...the studio didn't make it for any particular political purpose; it's basically just a stock, action-revenge flick, typical of Big Arnold.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 22, 2009

A competent Schwarzenegger action movie that will appeal to the nostalgic.

| Aug 22, 2008

The plot is laughably bad, and the action not much better.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Dec 30, 2006

The film's less knee-jerk than it could have been.

Diverting popcorn entertainment.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 6, 2005

Judged purely as a piece of escapist popcorn fun, Collateral Damage only barely passes muster.

Full Review | Original Score: 58/100 | Mar 16, 2004

... Time may be running out for Arnold the action hero.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 7, 2004

Apparently, it's relatively easy for a 6-foot tall, musclebound, non Spanish-speaking white guy to penetrate the depths of the Colombian guerilla-controlled jungle

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2003

The whole South American adventure looks so forced you half expect Schwarzenegger to break into a travel programme piece to camera.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 12, 2003

Rule of thumb: if Arnold Schwarzenegger is the smartest person in a movie, you've got problems.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Feb 8, 2003

All in all, "Collateral Damage" is entertaining in all the ways a Schwarzenegger film is expected to: bad guys do him dirty, Arnold's character vows revenge, lots of things blow up, and the bad guys get theirs... a more intense actor would have carried it

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 29, 2002

An entertaining action movie, nothing more, nothing less.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 8, 2002

It will be remembered less for its generic content than for the real-life events that give it an eerie resonance.

| Nov 6, 2002

This simplistic good and evil concept has long been a staple of Hollywood. What is more worrying is that it now appears to constitute American foreign policy.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 30, 2002
