I watched this movie again and re-examined some things and messages the movie is conveying. This movie is pure Hollywood propaganda which is Anti-Russian, Anti-Serbian, and anti-European all together.
I feel sorry for Americans being brainwashed everyday by the media.. a media that is not in their control.
The OP has some serious issues. Firstly, he thinks every American is brainwashed by Hollywood? Uh, yeah. Secondly, if we really went ga-ga over any movie where it's all-American victories, then The Rock would have sucked at Jean-Claude Van Damme would have made a billion dollars off of Sudden Death.
Thirdly, the movie made it quite obvious that Kodoroff was a more of a mercenary than a soldier and it was another loyal Russian, Dimitri Vertikoff, that helped them discover the link between Kodoroff and Schumacher.
If Americans were that jingoistic that we don't recognize a bad action movie, we wouldn't be anointing them with the phrase "Die Hard on a..." all the time. And the only reason why we keep referring to that movie was because of how good it was, particularly the role played by Brit Alan Rickman, who proved he deserved the long and successful career he had when that was his first movie.
There is nothing spectacular about this movie, nor is there anything horrible about it. It had good pieces and bad. It wasn't overtly silly nor did it shout from the rooftops like so many other action films do.
