okay for what it is but very predictable

I thought George Clooney was typically likable, but in The Peacemaker, he's smug and insufferable as the maverick military expert Nicole Kidman's government task force leader is saddled with. He's cocky, but gets it wrong at least part of the time, and I just want to slap his stupid face. His role is essentially to tell Kidman orders are meant to be broken and that the ends always justify the means (and the movie never disagrees). At least Kidman is good enough an actress to react naturalistically to his shocking tactics (not that someone in her position should be in the field). On the one hand, it's a political thriller based on the paranoia of all those post-Cold War nukes floating around where they can be stolen. On the other, it's a cool action movie with exciting and fairly original set pieces. The two don't always play well with one another, the real politik of the former undermined by the silly tropes of the latter. It's another example of the transformation of female leads in 90s action movies, but we're not quite there yet as she must still scream and be the butt of the joke no matter how competent and useful she is to the resolution.
