Synopsis:
An action-packed, tension-filled, edge of your seat thriller. When an explosion rocks Boston, bomb squad expert Jimmy Dove (Jeff Bridges) is thrust into the most harrowing work of his career. Evidence points to a bomber more dangerous and skilled than any other he's ever faced-except one. The possibility that the terrorist is Doves former mentor ( Tommy Lee Jones) increases the stakes- and as his friends and family are unsuspectingly drawn into the action, Jimmy is forced to face not only his bitter enemy...but also his haunting past.

This movie to me, is 120 minutes of pure fun. I remember seeing this movie in the theater and being well....blown away. They took the explosions and amped them up each time, making sure each explosion got bigger and bigger until the finale. And it's still one of Hollywoods top 10 movie explosions of all time.
IRA movies always appeal to me, but this one is about a former member redeeming himself for the sins of his past. As he was once a bomb maker, now he uses his knowledge to take out bombs. If you're looking for a great action flick, I say this is one to watch. And also you'll notice several "Joshua Tree'' songs performed by U2 throughout the movie.
Still in my Top 10.
How much did you enjoy this film?? How does it rank for you? Do you watch it often still??
