Probe Movie Review by Preston Fillagre   Collateral Damage Schwarzenegger has done it again in this counter-postmodern lampoon of cinematic archetypes. Wisely employing the director of both Under Siege and Under Siege III, this is a tour de force reexamination of the very structural elementals which underpin the filmic experience. We are confronted with a masterful revisiting of such hoary clichés as the "terrorist without a face," "impotent government bureaucrat," and Schwarzenegger's forte: "the superman/everyman." The very need for any plot at all in this choreographed Noh play of postures and incarnations is vividly reified by constant visual overload of hyperkinetic optical sculptures. I particularly reveled in the deliberate omission of hydrometaphoric iconography in the midst of the other humours displayed in the Tarot's major arcana. Bravo!
