A competent action film (although nothing like John Woo's earlier work), BROKEN ARROW used a variety of techniques to portray the fictional B-3 fighter. The underground nuclear blast was very pretty to look at (large scale CG explosions are becoming a visual effects cliche, with TRUE LIES, BROKEN ARROW, OUTBREAK and others). The finale's train sequence features many splendid invisible effects.
