Formulaic, But Great Formulaic, April 12, 2009
Very good movie , if not formulaic. But in this common scenario, where a lunatic threatens the use of nukes and uses one as an example, the example should be in a populated area, for maximum affect. When a nuke is exploded in a wasteland like in this movie or underground , like in Broken Arrow, the audience has a feeling of "Who Cares?". "Death and destruction" without the death part, is never quite as effective. As for the plot and the action, it was very good. Absolutely no romance in the movie at all.Since the protagonist was faithfully married, that was ruled out from the beginning. This hurt the movie. Better than an action hero is a romantic action hero. Since his wife was never threatened or made an on screen appearance, the fact that Jack was married served absolutely no purpose. The beautiful scientist's daughter , might just as well have been a male, since their was not even a hint of romantic undertones between her and any other characters. More than worth ,what I paid for it. The villain was good. The acting was good. The fighting was good. The fact that Jack lost all of his team was a plus. Should have added another minute or so to the final fight scene, but it was still avery good movie.

Truly remarkable!, June 14, 2003
This review is from: Warhead [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This could possibly be the best terrible movie ever. The acting is... stunning, the plot and writing are laughable, and the props... oh my, the props... Imagine, for a moment, the glory of special forces riding around a lake in neon jet skis shooting fireworks off them. Apparently they were using the Las Vegas camouflage scheme. This movie was good for many a hearty laugh, and I'm disappointed that it's not for sale as a DVD.

Slow moving.Liked Kraft as a villain. Had humor but could've been more vicious.Frank Zagorino stiff as usual and not a character worth rooting for. Very scary to think how easy it is to get one's hands on a missle.
