Gary, Terry, and Graham are back with another edition of Action Movie Landfill. This time, Gary has dragged out John Woo’s 1996 nuclear heist thriller, Broken Arrow.
Woo arrived in Hollywood with a reputation for high-octane Hong Kong action movies, and just a year later he’d cement his legacy with the classic Face/Off, once again teaming up with John Travolta. But how much does Broken Arrow serve as a warm-up for Face/Off — or is the stronger link to screenwriter Graham Yost, the man who wrote the script for Speed?
For just over an hour, the gang rummage through desert chases, pantomime villainy, Hans Zimmer guitar riffs, and the question of whether this film belongs in the landfill.
