If it's action you crave, then it's action you'll get. James Cameron directed the film, so you know there are going to be plenty of fireworks. The film is very loud as well, especially on dvd. There are 5 action scenes and they get bigger and bigger as the movie goes along. What's surprising about the film is its added humor. That's what makes it a step above the usual no-brain explosions-galore action movie. It's Cameron at his best.

Arnold does a good job as well. He's in fine action form as he kicks some terrorist butt. Thrown into the mix is Tom Arnold, who plays Schwarzenegger's sidekick. He supplies the comedy and has some very funny one-liners. Bill Paxton, who's worked with Cameron on several occasions, is a slimey car salesman. He's quite funny.
