Movie Info
The first motion picture produced by DreamWorks SKG, The Peacemaker (1997) was a spy thriller that married the exotic locations and derring-do of James Bond with the high-tech obsession and post-Cold War politics of Tom Clancy. Greedy Russian military officers crash two trains into each other, the warheads aboard one causing a nuclear blast. The accident is a cover for the theft of some of the weapons for sale to terrorists and rogue governments. In the U.S., intelligence officer Lt. Col. Tom

...a frustrating picture with all the ingredients to be a truly outstanding action thriller, yet never quite achieving its ambitions.
The Peacemaker is a critical reminder that nothing's quite as dynamic as fully bloomed, gung ho, widescreen descent into possible worldwide destruction.
Another formulaic action movie devoid of any suspense, feeling or realistic sense of danger.
HEY, HOLLYWOOD! THE COLD WAR IS OVER! Think they heard that? I doubt it.
The plot works on a mechanical level, but "The Peacemaker" reveals the Bond movies are smart to oil the cogs with humor and sex appeal.
Explores the theme of nuclear terrorism with zest and momentum.
First-time filmmaker Mimi Leder builds a couple of suspenseful scenes in the last half-hour, but most of the story is stale and predictable.
A sturdy, entertaining popcorn movie.
A solid, muscular thriller that manages to deliver big action set-pieces without insulting the audience's intelligence.
