Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 03/30/2004 Starring: George Clooney Armin Mueller-stahl Run time: 124 minutes Rating: R Director: Mimi Leder Amazon.com: It seems that thrillers these days--even good ones--are all about scene-chewing bad guys, cute retorts fit for the Dennis Miller show, and one big special effect to end the movie. Well, something like The Peacemaker, the first feature film from DreamWorks, puts the record straight. Here is an expertly paced thriller with a sensible villain, smart instead of cute dialogue, and a focus on action instead of special effects. It's not original, just solid. It's the second of these energetic and effective thrillers that writer Michael Schiffer (Crimson Tide) has penned. The White House Nuclear Smuggling Group tracks down 10 stolen nuclear bombs after a suspicious train wreck in Russia. The acting head of the department (Nicole Kidman) and her military field officer (George Clooney) are off to Europe to track down the bombs. Instead of a Gary Oldman-Bruce Dern madman, The Peacemaker's heavy is an unknown Romanian actor (Marcul Iures) playing a Bosnian rebel who works passionately and quietly. This may be a popcorn movie, but it uses the ripe emotions of the Bosnian War to create tension. This is the best film vehicle yet for the overwhelming charisma of George Clooney as a quick witted, generally warm Oliver North type who will seek deadly vengeance without pause. He's matched very well by the professional polish of Nicole Kidman who is showing great flexibility in dividing her roles between serious and fun fare. --Doug Thomas Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - It's not thrilling to me. The acting is okay but the movie is not thrilling to me. The action scenes are so so. Overall, it's not interesting. Rating: - Peacemaker A action movie and then some. Breaking up a terriorist plot. The two people fight off the terriorists. It is a heart pumping movie. Not A "Chick Flick", unless you are into Action Pictures. Car chases,military action,use of guns,etc. Rating: - Topical Thriller 1998's "The Peacemaker" capitalized on civil war in the former Yugoslavia and on the threat of nuclear proliferation. It was also an early star vehicle for George Clooney, making the transition from TV to movies and here paired with Nicole Kidman. "The Peacemaker" opens up with the alleged theft of one or more nuclear weapons from the former Soviet Union. White House nuclear expert Dr. Julia Kelly, played with appropriately cool professionism by Kidman, is quickly on the case. As ...

Over an hour of watching Clooney, or Clowny whatever, walk around debating with Kidman's character about some nuclear mayhem half a world away. Yeah just blah blah blah-dee blah blah over and over again till I about feel asleep. C'mon, in a situation like this talk is cheap and actions as they say, speak louder than words. Oh sure people will ... Read More Rating: - superb thriller, excellent acting This is a good, fun film. The action is fast, the story intricate enough to support multiple viewings, and the chemistry between Kidman and Clooney is believable - indeed, you cannot take your eyes off them. Kidman is a credible White House bureaucrat, rather green but energetic and self confident. Clooney is an ideal military man: he sees a goal and gets there, but he more or less follows orders and hierarchy. Then there is the espionage world, with its practices and networks, this time for ...
