Leave your thoughts about The Peacemaker.
| Film Journal InternationalKevin LallyA solid, muscular thriller that manages to deliver big action set-pieces without insulting the audience's intelligence. |
| Austin ChronicleMarc SavlovBy no means an embarrassment to the fledgling DreamWorks, The Peacemaker is instead a grand, noisy step in the right direction. |
| The New York TimesElvis MitchellCulminates in a show-stopping action sequence set in midtown Manhattan, directed by Ms. Leder with crisp economy and furious energy. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfThe Peacemaker is a critical reminder that nothing's quite as dynamic as fully bloomed, gung ho, widescreen descent into possible worldwide destruction. |
| FulvueDrive-in.comChuck O'LearyAnother formulaic action movie devoid of any suspense, feeling or realistic sense of danger. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanThe essential spark of surprise is missing. The mechanics of ''breathless'' suspense are blanketed by an atmosphere of creeping caution. |
| Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)Jeffrey WesthoffThe plot works on a mechanical level, but "The Peacemaker" reveals the Bond movies are smart to oil the cogs with humor and sex appeal. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranWhat The Peacemaker doesn't do well, though it tries, is bring much in the way of emotion or character development to the table. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumMimi Leder directed Michael Schiffer's script, handling some of the action sequences deftly enough to promote the latent idea that people who don't speak English don't deserve to live. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertIt looks great. The technical credits are impeccable, and Clooney and Kidman negotiate assorted dangers skillfully. But it's mostly spare parts from other thrillers. |
