Broken Arrow (1996)

Rate: 6
Viewed: 5/08

5/08: Because of John Travolta, despite not having enough screen time, I've been able to endure Broken Arrow for the most part.

So, instead, I'm given lots of Christian Slater and his co-star Samantha Mathis. The former is fine and does a good job. But it's the latter who ruins the show with her irritating presence and has no talent for acting.

The film has good pace, but the ludicrous plot takes some time for me to get used to. At least, John Woo doesn't overplay style over substance while the climax is at best anticlimactic.

All in all, Broken Arrow is easy to watch, but John Travolta's screen time should be expanded to allow it to become a better movie.
