The Peacemaker
1997
**½
Director: Mimi Leder
Cast: George Clooney, Nicole Kidman, Marcel Iures, Armin Mueller-Stahl
A generic action drama in which George Clooney and Nicole Kidman chase a stolen Russian warhead across the world and end up in New York City. Director Mimi Leder comes from TV, and she seems unable to direct a satisfying feature film. Very much like her previous works Deep Impact and Pay It Forward, this one offers a few terrific set pieces, but that's it. The pace is fast but everything seems to happen too easily.
