零点爆破 (1994)
Blown Away
炸弹追击令
讲述吉米原在警局负责炸弹拆穿的工作。因为工作过于危险，他辞去工作改为任教于警察学校。然而没过多久接任他工作的同事却因炸弹爆炸而身亡。他怀疑这个炸弹乃是他熟悉的人所安装。当他深入调查之后发现，他过去在爱尔兰共和军的老师兼伙伴，当年因为他的告密而入狱，现在要来向他报仇了…… 影片由汤米·李·琼斯（《亡命天涯》）、福里斯特·惠特克（《末代独裁》）等诸多好莱坞明星助阵。 《零点爆破》片在处理爆破场面有两场最为吸引，爆车、爆船，也可谓达到大爆炸的感官刺激。确实，一班幕后精英确实花了不少心思设计，这点从影片不断营造气氛方面可以肯定。剧中刺激过瘾的地方，相信是爆炸前一刻的情节处理，插电话接驳线、开煤气炉等生活小节也在企图制造一种危机感，好让观众透不过气。在人物性格与铺排正邪斗法方面，《零点爆破》也下了不少工夫，务求故事说来合情合理，且讲述了一段不光彩的往事，令剧情走向多元化，对于一部刺激动作电影来说，尽管用上公式化的商业元素，但也强调了动作戏的基本要求。

趣闻
Blown Away is a 1994 American action thriller film directed by Stephen Hopkins and starring Jeff Bridges, Tommy Lee Jones, Forest Whitaker, Suzy Amis, and Lloyd Bridges, and follows a Boston bomb squad member pursuing an Irish bomber, who recently escaped from prison and is targeting the other bomb squad members. The film was distributed and financed by MGM, a studio which was in financial difficulty at the time. The head of the studio was former Paramount executive Frank Mancuso Sr.
Production
Stephen Hopkins, who agreed to do the film after completing Judgment Night, told his agent, "'I don't want to make a movie about a bomb squad!' But he insisted, which he very rarely does, so I read it and thought it was terrific. Forty-eight hours later, the deal was done, bang."
"I would say the movie is, hopefully, more of a suspense film, which is more interesting to me than that type of movie where we see a bunch of explosions", said Hopkins. "I was attracted because there were a bunch of great characters who obviously would attract great actors to do them. And also the suspense bit; there's so many different types of suspense in the film.
"You can make violence into a fantasy situation or you can try and make it relatable", said Hopkins. "If you bring it down to as realistic terms as possible under the circumstances, then for me it becomes more interesting than to be out there with larger-than-life superhuman types in glossy, glamorous situations. There's some politically incorrect things about this film I like which aren't usually allowed in these kind of films.
Hopkins says that Bridges' casting "opens up a whole bunch of actors who really want to work with him."
"I was looking for an action film", said Jeff Bridges. "So I read a lot of scripts, looking for one that transcended the genre. I wanted something that had a little more depth -- that had genuine characters and relationships. What appealed to me about this script was that you cared about the people."
