Any ideas on what this movie is? It's not "Point Break" or "The Peacemaker". Maybe Michael Douglas?

I’m terrified of the man who only wants one.”

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched THE PEACEMAKER tonight, first time. It’s funny how a movie in 1997 that did okay business and fair reviews, over time, gets better with age. It’s a quite good post-Cold War thriller now, with moments of real intensity and interesting characters. I dug it quite a bit.
positive · AI labelView post →Name a film with a Woman Director. The much underrated thriller, The Peacemaker - Mimi Leder Still stands up. When compared to the current streaming service action slop, it’s Lawrence of fucking Arabia. Give it another watch and tell me I’m wrong.
positive · AI labelView post →I walked out of Natural Born Killers. More notoriously, among my friends, I once stood up mid film (The Peacemaker, 1999) so enraged by a seeming deus ex machine saving the villain, I pointed at the screen and shouted “Where did he come from?!? This movie fucking sucks!” I stand by it.
negative · AI labelView post →JAY KELLY isn't great but I do appreciate that the message of the movie seems to be that it's ok to be a bad dad if it's because you're making blockbuster 1997 motion picture THE PEACEMAKER.
neutral · AI labelView post →The Peacemaker finale was unconventional. As I was watching it I was thinking "wait, is there actually one or two more episodes?" but nope; that is the ending. James Gunn is deliberately not writing any movie such that you have to have seen a TV show first, so maybe another series picks up with this

neutral · AI labelView post →Ah yes, the Suicide Squad everyone hates from the movie The Suicide Squad (2021) and the Peacemaker TV show people also hate.
neutral · AI labelView post →Ever see that Clooney/Kidman The Peacemaker movie? Wasn't great, but there were a few scenes that stuck with me. Stolen Soviet nukes, a Bosnian wants to blow up NYC. There's a scene where he's explaining. "I'm not a monster," he says. Right. I was 12. It hadn't really occurred to me that...
negative · AI labelView post →Glad we got 10 minutes of the usual James Gunn bullshit early in the Peacemaker finale instead of actual character beats & that the season turned out to be just a trailer for yet another probably-doomed-anyway new DC movie universe 👍 [Joel Kinnaman voice] Peacemaker Season 2 finale: What a joke

neutral · AI labelView post →Related, it was easy to see the 'Peacemaker' Nazi universe plot reveal because it takes work to film in an Atlanta suburb and make it so every single background actor is white.
neutral · AI labelView post →Especially considering that the success of Deep Impact was preceded by The Peacemaker, a film that successfully launched DreamWorks with a hit.
neutral · AI labelView post →That isn't a away a big leap from The Peacemaker (1997), which was a very mainstream film ($50M budget, Clooney, Kidman). That was slightly more grounded, but very much the same vibes.
neutral · AI labelView post →"Six turnin', four burnin'" This is from a movie, but it's a very good representation of the Peacemaker. youtu.be/9kQ2X84PRvY?...
neutral · AI labelView post →I thought it was a big swing and a miss by Baumbach. Every character was completely unrealistic and they tried to play on sentimentality for Clooney's acting career for the finale, which included a lot of clips from like The Peacemaker. The last line of the film also made me audibly groan.
neutral · AI labelView post →While watching “The Peacemaker” (1997; Clooney & Kidman) I stood up, shouted at the screen “Where the fuck did he come from?! This movie fucking sucks!” It was a fair assessment. Biggest audience cheer: when the heroes remembered they had a giant damn chain sword in Pacific Rim.
negative · AI labelView post →Mimi Leder's "The Peacemaker" was never the most colorful movie but Kino Lorber's new 4K really shows how dull previous releases looked.

neutral · AI labelView post →The first part is the plot from that ok-ish 1997 Clooney/Kidman film The Peacemaker. The 2nd part is literally the transmission towers used to stop/start the Faro Plague in Horizon. Anons sure do love their movies and games.
neutral · AI labelView post →You’ll probably like the Peacemaker show as well. After what he does in this movie I didn’t think I’d be convinced to feel sorry for the dude, but I was pleasantly proven wrong. Unfortunately for you the gruesomeness does continue though.
neutral · AI labelView post →John Cena especially is an enjoyable comedy actor. His initial career tried to sell him as a pure 80s action movie throwback, and the Peacemaker TV series has a couple of serious turns, but really he shines when he's doing pure comedy, like in Blockers.
