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 (IRA). 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, Amazon.com [show more]

Boston is rocked by a blast of such ferocity that it stuns even the most hardened member of the city’s bomb squad. The evidence points to a bomber more menacing and more skilled than any they have ever faced. With each tick of the clock, the stakes go higher as Jeff Bridges and Tommy Lee Jones draw closer to a final explosive confrontation in this thrilling action adventure.
Insane terrorist Ryan Gaerity (Tommy Lee Jones) causes a number of explosions in Boston, but continually evades the clutches of the city's elite bomb squad, led by Jimmy Dove (Jeff Bridges). Dove gradually realises that the attacks are motivated by his own past confrontations with the terrorist, and a deadly game of cat-and-mouse develops between the two old rivals.
