There is no subtlety in this movie. Everything is blunt and obvious. Everything from the mad bomber (Tommy Lee Jones) whistling "Pop goes the weasel", to the iron rule that bombers must follow a wiring color code so that bomb disposers can cut the correct wire, to the bomber setting up a Rube-Goldberg self-destruct of his good ship Lollipop in the denouement. Every bomb is super-duper complex. Tommy Lee Jones is so smart that he can break out of an Irish prison with cleaning products from his cell, blood from his murdered cellmate, and a condom full of urine. Yeah. Don't try this at home. Pyrotechnics are great, but the plot gets Blown Away.
