What critics compared The Peacemaker to
Think of all the bombed-out villages and devastated families that helped birth the bad guys in movies like The Peacemaker and Three Kings.
It’s as if movies like One Fine Day and The Peacemaker (the latter heavily featured in the Kelly montage, if I’m not mistaken) became signature smashes, and Clooney never branched out into socially-conscious directing or the elder-statesman gravitas to understand his slow, natural fade.

The clips during the Jay Kelly tribute include scenes from Combat Academy, Sunset Beat, ER, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Peacemaker, The Thin Red Line, Out of Sight, Three Kings, Intolerable Cruelty, Ocean’s Twelve, Syriana, The Good German, Michael Clayton, Leatherheads, Burn After Reading, Up in the Air, The American, and The Midnight Sky.
…all the films pulled from Clooney’s actual career (with a curiously hefty amount of footage from 1997’s The Peacemaker)…
…during the climactic montage of his work that includes clips from such real-life Clooney landmarks as Leatherheads, The Peacemaker, and…did I spot One Fine Day(?)
In a wonderful meta moment, clips rush on a screen from actual George Clooney films, going all the way back to 1997’s “The Peacemaker.”
