Please, Don’t Shoot At The Nuclear Weapons
nroKcn Arrow, the latest entry
in John Travolta’s prolific film
comeback is a wonderful example
of miscasting and poor acting. This
movie fails to create empathy with
any of its characters and a familiar
plot that’s poorly executed. In fact,
I walked away wondering ifTravolta
and Christian Slater got their scripts
mixed-up.
"Broken A rrow ” , is m ilitary
m um ble jum ble for lost nuclear
w eapons w hich T ra v o lta and
S la te r are flying a c ro ss the
desert 1 ravolta decides to bum
rush the nukes and a tired cat
and m ouse film plo t, plods
through out this movie. Factor in
Samantha Mathis, who is as believ­
able as a park Ranger as Mr. Ranger
is in the Yogi Bear cartoons, and
you have the m akings o f a m e­
diocre film .
I he nuclear cat and m ouse
gam e gets old quick and b e­
com es p red ictab le. A nuclear
exp lo sio n is treated as c a su ­
ally as popping a pim ple. The
b est lin e in th e m o v ie is
I ravolta advising his partner in
crime not to shoot at the nuclear
weapon. Slater siioukl give his agent
50percent of his wages for.securing
him a staring role when he does
not have th at ta le n t or the
screen p resence to pull it off.
I ravoltra su b stitu te s sm ok­
ing a cig arette for real acting
and this is the only m ovie
w here you root for the other
nuclear w eapon to explode just
so this film w ill end.

In 1960, a CIA spy plane was shot down over the Soviet Union.
Overnight, the plane, the U-2, became the most famous aircraft in
the world and pilot Francis Gary Powers, who miraculously survived
the crash, achieved a notoriety that would haunt him for the rest of
his life. The story is brought to life in The American Experience: Spy
in the Sky, airing Monday at 9 p.m. on PBS.
