Brash Special Forces Intelligence Officer Thomas Devoe (George Clooney) teams up with anti-smuggling official Dr. Julia Kelly (Nicole Kidman) to track down runaway nuclear bombs which have fallen into the dastardly hands of a Yugoslavian terrorist determined to draw attention to the slaughter in his former homeland by nuking midtown Manhattan. Clooney makes another run at action stardom, this time under the direction of his "ER" producer, Leder. Based on the writings of investigative journalists Andrew and Leslie Cockburn.

Critics' reviews

"It looks great. The technical credits are impeccable, and Clooney and Kidman negotiate assorted dangers skillfully. But it's mostly spare parts from other thrillers. (...) Rating: ★★½ (out of four)"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"After a wretched first half hour, 'The Peacemaker' straightens out and becomes a solid thriller."

Mick LaSalle: SFgate
"The entire film sustains that same feeling of being channeled at high speed down an exceedingly narrow path (...) an uncommonly dour and even grim action thriller (...) offers a very limited view politically, emotionally and dramatically"

Todd McCarthy: Variety
"Slick, gripping and largely believable"

Stephen Hunter: The Washington Post
"The essential spark of surprise is missing. The mechanics of 'breathless' suspense are blanketed by an atmosphere of creeping caution

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"By no means an embarrassment to the fledgling DreamWorks, The Peacemaker is instead a grand, noisy step in the right direction."

Marc Savlov: Austin Chronicle
"Ruthlessly efficient and utterly predictable"

Maitland McDonagh: TV Guide
