Peacemaker, The (1997) scores a combined 2.40 out of 4 stars for Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)
Mimi Leder directed Michael Schiffer's script, handling some of the action sequences deftly enough to promote the latent idea that people who don't speak English don't deserve to live. ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Chicago Reader (Jonathan Rosenbaum)

What The Peacemaker doesn't do well, though it tries, is bring much in the way of emotion or character development to the table. ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Los Angeles Times (Kenneth Turan)
Peacemaker, The (1997) scores a combined 2.32 out of 4 stars for Entertainment Weekly (Owen Gleiberman)Entertainment Weekly (Owen Gleiberman)
The essential spark of surprise is missing. The mechanics of ''breathless'' suspense are blanketed by an atmosphere of creeping caution. ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Entertainment Weekly (Owen Gleiberman)

Director Mimi Leder fills the mindless-action-movie quota quite stylishly. The trouble is, The Peacemaker thinks it has a mind. ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Newsweek (David Ansen)

The Peacemaker isn't much better or worse than the average James Bond movie, except, of course, that it doesn't have the cars, the gadgets, the girls, or Bond himself. There's a certain appeal to the premise, but the execution is uneven. ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at ReelViews (James Berardinelli)
Peacemaker, The (1997) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Jerry SaraviaJerry Saravia
"The Peacemaker" has great locations and a great sense of time and place, but it is really just an overlong, muddled action movie. Villains come and go with great ease and we get reminders of the Gulf War, and there are many shots of satellite video ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Jerry Saravia

Mostly unexciting, humdrum romp that doesn't really offer us any real action or suspense until the last half an hour. Set in various international destinations, this jargon-filled strategy session set amongst military folk, nuclear experts and ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at JoBlo's Movie Emporium ("JoBlo")

Peacemaker, The (1997) scores a combined 2.00 out of 4 stars for Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)
Clooney is adequate, while Kidman turns in a believable performance. The film does try harder than most to put a human face on the terrorists, with Marcel Iures portraying the tortured terrorist, Dusan Gavrich. The action sequences in the film are ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Laramie Movie Scope (Robert Roten)

Disappointment #2. Well not so much a dissappointment, everyone I'd talked to before hand regarding this movie had made it clear that this was nothing special. But I still was hoping to be pleasantly surprised by 'The Peacemaker' which truth be known ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Jeff Walters
