[Blown Away] is the kind of movie that people should be sentenced to see if they complain that Speed is implausible.

It’s impossible to take this seriously, even with “The Troubles” informing the tale.

The movie's quieter moments... give audiences the time to ponder the film's almost ludicrous, contrived plot.

...engrossing subject matter that’s employed to mostly first-class effect by Hopkins...

Blown away is one of the most underrated movies in film history. Tommy lee jones and jeff bridges star in this prestperous and predictable plotted movies but it's also interesting to watch a good vs evil film that is not oscar worthy and is filled with it's lots of cheesy one liners.
