A very good action thriller with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
This held my interest for the full duration. A lot of the action sequences are fun to watch, it builds tension well and doesn't stick directly to clichés... some of the places it goes with the story are pretty deep.
The cast are also very nicely chosen. I'm not saying it's an all-star line-up, but all those involved with the main stuff do a worthy job. Schwarzenegger makes for a great lead as Brewer, he is the ideal actor for this role. Cliff Curtis works as the film's antagonist, this is the best performance that I've seen from him. Francesca Neri (Selena) and John Leguizamo (Felix) also do solid things.
It's far from the perfect film of course, but 'Collateral Damage' had me locked in from start-to-finish which is all you want from these sort of productions.
Not Arnie's greatest movie but I find it highly enjoyable. It takes a long time before he even hits anyone and never fires a single gun. Was delayed and altered due to 9/11.
Loved it a must watch and would definitely rewatch.
A typical and mediocre Arnie-Action-Flick: lots of action, lots of explosions but no special ideas and quite predictable story.

When Arnold does an action film that is not as over the top, I don't have much fun. This felt cheesy and not in the over-the-top action film way. Maybe I am part of the problem, who knows.
