Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Freaktana A Major Disappointment

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

KissEnglishPasto ......................................................from Pasto,Colombia...Via: L.A. CA., CALI, COLOMBIA and ORLANDO, FLThe Goveranator, "On the Loose, with Dr. Seuss!" As a Dual National, living in Colombia, people frequently come up to me and say: "I never go to those Hollywood movies, always projecting such a lousy image of Colombia!" Hard to refute that, eh! And how about this? Is it worth seeing AH-NULD one more time? Must answer much more "NO" than "YES"! Despite having seen a constant decline in the quality of his final films over the years they're still a cut above a lot of the action movies produced in Hollywood today.If the ACTION genre is your thing: Maybe The answer is "YES". For everyone else, probably the words "I PASS" are the most apropos. "DAMAGE", filmed BEFORE 9/11, with its Colombian terrorists detonating bombs on U.S. soil, passes from the category of Fiction to that of Fairy Tale! The bad guy here is a narco-guerrilla/terrorist named Claudio Perini, willing to sacrifice it ALL for the "Cause". The most chilling aspect of this film, is a mother so perverse and diabolic, she sacrifices her only son, with the dispassionate air of someone taking out the trash! Hollywood again serves up a distorted and grotesque image of Colombia. Seems like the ones experiencing the most "Collateral Damage" here are the viewers of the film itself!5*.....ENJOY/DISFRUTELA?????? Any comments, questions or observations, in English o en Español, are most welcome!

naninisroa This movie doesn't show anything right about Colombia, we're not drug addicts or bad people, as every country in the hole planet we have problems but is not that bad, is really ridiculous the way the show how we are, is just stupid that they thing that we are like that, I invite everyone to come here and see how nice we are. Not every person is bad here, just ask any person who has come and they will tell that is not as bad as it shows, we are good people, trust me, the movie just shows the bad part about and Colombia, like is normal all of what the movie shows, is wrong the idea that the others have about my country, is really really wrong.

David Love Vietnam War veteran and radical anti-war activist Stan Goff worked as a technical military adviser on the film. He later said it was one of the worst experiences of his life and that the finished product was "yet another guns and fire-balls, macho death-cult, fascist film-myth."What's wrong with that? 'Collateral Damage' had its original release date postponed in the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks. In a familiar storyline, a group of Colombian terrorists strike at targets on American soil. Schwarzenegger plays fireman Gordy Brewer, whose wife and child are killed in an explosion at the Colombian consulate in Los Angeles. Brewer, feeling that the U.S. government has little concern with finding terrorist leader Claudio Perrini (Cliff Curtis), decides to mount a one-man crusade.So Brewer, the invincible firefighter, journeys into the jungles of South America to take on both the Colombian police force and the terrorist guerrillas.Co-star Fracesca Neri, making a rare appearance in an English language film, eventually appears as the wife of Claudio Perrini. She's exceptionally good in this role, and it is believable that Arnie's character would fall for her, though a bit far-fetched that their paths should cross so fortuitously.Very good last twenty minutes, which merits an extra star. If you can make it through the middle section, overall this is one of the better "guns and fire-balls, macho death-cult, fascist film-myths" I have seen.

Daniel Latchford (keioh16) This film is only rated 5.2/10, and I struggle to see how it's so low. There is great story telling, by which I mean it really immerses you into the film and makes you empathise with the characters, especially Gordy Brewer (Arnold Schwarzenegger), as well as being easy to follow without being boring, (has a great twist at the end). I regard this as some of Schwarzenegger's best acting, he shows compassion, regardless hatred, and you really get a sense he is just trying to give some low-life terrorist what he deserves. He is also intelligent and turns from fire-fighter to basically a FBI agent when the rest aren't up to the mark/not have enough information. It is a shame people like Harry Lennix and Elias Koteas didn't get more screen time, but hey ho, you can't have everything.It is let down by a few errors, such as the cliché family death thing, and the protection of children etc. But not enough to lower the rating to 5.2/10 in my opinion.
