Trivia:
After the terrorist attacks on the USA of 11 September 2001, Warner Bros. pulled all advertising of the film which had included a mock newspaper clipping alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger's face featuring the word "bombing" and the tagline "What would you do if you lost everything?" and its Collateral Damage (2002) movie website that had included a game called "Hunting for the Wolf". When the film was finally released in 2002, the film's poster was revamped with shot of an explosion due to the U.S. subsequent invasion of Afghanistan in the background of Arnold's face in the foreground and the film's original tagline missing. The website was completely revamped with nothing but production stills, bios, the film's synopsis, and cast and crew material. The games and other material that had been on the original version of the website were completely eliminated. more

Not so hot, 30 July 2002
Author: ctomvelu from usa

The film plays like a pastiche of Arnie's earlier hits, including COMMANDO, PREDATOR, TOTAL RECALL and several others. Unfortunately, it does not measure up to any of those efforts. The plot is hackneyed, the direction listless, and Arnie is too old and bloated to be running around the jungles of Colombia and the streets of Los Angeles. He also seems impervious to harm, which is not acceptable in a modern action film. He falls not once but twice from great heights and has the bejeesus kicked out of him several times, and yet he never shows so much as a scratch. The film comes to life briefly in a close-quarters prison brawl and during the climax in the basement of an office building, but it is nowhere near enough. DIrector Andrew Davis is not James Cameron, unfortunately. Which reminds me, it's hard to believe this is the same sleek action hero who appeared in TRUE LIES and ERASER. But those films were made in the early 90s, and Arnie ain't getting any younger. He needs to do more KINDERGARTEN COP-type films and get out of the action racket. He definitely needs to stop making tripe like this (not to mention END OF DAYS and THE 6TH DAY or whatever that clone disaster was called).
