I do not like Schwarzenegger, and really need to be dragged into seeing his movies. I rented this one, more because of the story around, and because this is one of the first post 9/11 movies dealing with terrorism. I was curious how the Americans - who love wining on screen even the wars that they lost - will deal with this so painful actual theme.
Not to be mistaken, this is just a Schwarzenegger movie - it cannot get to good, it can't be true, and you should not expect any psychological or artistic revelation about the roots of terror, or the pains of the victims. Arnold will take the gun and solve it all his way. Moreover, the film was made neutral and politically correct by picking some consensus bad guys of Colombian descent.
So, if you are in the mood to see Schwarzy saving again the world (or just some historical buildings in Washington DC) from terrorists go to see it. It is a decent action film, not as good as Terminator, but better then many other. If you have enough with the terrorist theme in your real life, or if you are looking for some artistic truth, or just for a good movie - pick something else.
