Comments: The fuse has been lit...

Summary: Before he made the man-eating lion thriller "The Ghost and the Darkness" and the special- effects-laden "Lost in Space", director Stephen Hopkins helmed this ludicrous and critically panned thriller pitting a cop on the Boston Police bomb squad (Jeff Bridges) against a mad Irish bomber (Tommy Lee Jones) who's still holding a grudge from their early years in the Irish Republican Army. A showcase for the explosive skills of demolitions experts, "Blown Away" has got some impressive action sequences, although the story is somewhat convoluted and mean-spirited. Suzy Amis ("Titanic") costars as Bridges's endangered girlfriend, who becomes a target of Jones's destructive scheme. "--Jeff Shannon"
