A different Arnold

This is the first time Arnie has played such a vulnerable character before. In fact, he's so vulnerable he spends a good amount of time on screen getting beat up! I thought Stallone was suppose to do that? Even a woman terrorist gets the better of him part of the time. Schwartzeneggar is getting older and is looking less imposing. He's not the big guy anymore. So it was strange seeing him play a character like that. I guess as Arnie and Sly get on in years we are going to have to accept the fact that they are not the badasses they use to be. The rest of the film I had mixed emotions about. Arnie hiding out in Columbia without being found. He's the only big white guy around! And the bad terrorist dude comes across as pretty cliche'. It does remind us of whats going on in the world but the end results are a mixed bag.
