Scott Renshaw
George Clooney, meanwhile, has previously distinguished himself on the big screen largely by not distinguishing himself, disappearing into the frenetic horror of FROM DUSK TILL DAWN and the inane vortex that was BATMAN & ROBIN. In THE PEACEMAKER, he's a ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Scott Renshaw
filmcritic.com (Christopher Null)
High stakes intrigue when nine nuclear missiles go missing in post-breakup Russia. Kidman and Clooney are hammy, yes, but for all its flaws, The Peacemaker is a lot of fun. Favorite line, Kidman yelling, "Take the shot!"

A Guide to Current DVD (Aaron Beierle)
"The Peacemaker" is one of those films that I enjoyed more on video, or in this case DVD. A Slightly overblown, yet underacted thriller, the film stars George Clooney(doing his head down, eyes up style of acting) and Nicole Kidman(who has a few nice ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at A Guide to Current DVD (Aaron Beierle)

Filmtracks (Christian Clemmensen)
Overall, there are Zimmer fans out there who will adore every moment of
this score (just like there was a group of people who loved John Powell's
Face/Off this summer). Albeit, Zimmer's obvious talent for
combining orchestra and synth ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Filmtracks (Christian Clemmensen)
Michael Dequina
Schiffer and director Mimi Leder don't take this story in any new directions; familiar action staples such as car and helicopter chase sequences, running through crowded streets, big explosions, and (would a bomb thriller be complete without one?) a ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Michael Dequina

THE PEACEMAKER Rated R - Running time: 2:03 - Released 9/26/97 Author's Note: This is one of the ten movie reviews I wrote for the October 30, 1997 issue of The Republican, the first week my reviews were ever published there.

Today, Russia is dismantling her nukes, and THE PEACEMAKER, the first film, from Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen's new studio, Dreamworks SKG, considers what would happen if some criminal entrepreneurs stole a batch of nuclear ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Steve Rhodes
Ted Prigge
"The Peacemaker" combines the usual action pic with touches of Bond and Clancy to produce a story about two government peoples' search for stolen nuclear weapons that were missing when a train carrying them crashed in Russia, setting one of them off ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Ted Prigge

Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)
Reporting on THE PEACEMAKER. The first film from Dreamworks SKG-you know, that studio from those guys-is, well, one, long chase scene. Nicole Kidman and George Clooney go through the requisite motions as a pair of nuclear weapons experts, trotting the ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Movie Hell (Michael J. Legeros)

Lest you think that everything Spielberg, Katzenberg, and Geffen touch by way of their new production company will turn to gold, Dreamworks SKG arrives on the scene with a surprisingly pedestrian thriller.

Dragan Antulov
THE PEACEMAKER wasn't disappointment only for Dreamworks SKG. Originally, it was supposed to tell the Croatian truth about late Balkan unpleasantness in exchange for enjoying the benefits of Croatian locations, extras and studio facilities. However, ...read the complete Peacemaker movie review at Dragan Antulov
