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.

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.
