Súlyos robbanások rázzák meg Washington belvárosának utcáit, a célpontok az amerikai szenátus tagjai közül kerülnek ki. A gyújtószerkezet lenyomozhatatlan, a helyszíneken csupán deformálódott testrészek maradnak. Ráadásul Danny O'Neill (Pierce Brosnan), az FBI legjobb tűzszerésze saját gondolataival van elfoglalva. Az egész város azt beszéli, hogy felesége, Frank Traveres (Ron Silver) szenátor szeretője, és már nemcsak kollégái és a rendőrök, hanem a terroristák is ezen röhögnek. (RTL Klub)

Handsome, this Pierce Brosnan. Unfortunately, in every film, he's almost identical in his pretty little facial expressions and perpetual macho talk. And while I'm not a lady or a minority man, I have a hard time with Brosnan's films, which aren't exactly based on a quality script. Unfortunately, Live Wire is a reactive thriller about an evil gentleman who makes whatever he touches explode, and about another gentleman who is in a marital crisis but still brings the first gentleman to his knees... And by the way, he can solve the crisis as a little side project... It might have been explosive if it hadn't been legible, cheesy and, in places, stupid. Rough detectives in a crisis have been done a hundred times better, for example, by Willis in The Last Boy Scout, and in the powerful genre competition, Duguay's work will hardly be anything more than a padding title for commercial television.

Live Wire is an explosive fun that's a totally striking B-movie, and while at the same time one of the first "bomb thrillers" featuring the explosives experts typical of the '90s (among others Blown Away, The Specialist, Speed to some extent etc.). On one hand, it's a fun thriller with the bizarre and very catchy idea of "live detonators", which results in a couple of very cool scenes with explosives, on the other hand, it's a movie imbued with so many clichés and garbage dialogue that it hurts. I really like Pierce Brosnan, but he has a pretty badly written role here (I had to laugh out loud at the tackiness of his flashback with his daughter). With narrowed eyes, it is better than average, like when Ben Cross from the movie Chariots of Fire plays the over-the-top villain to which I say, "yes please!"

A 90s routine picture with an appallingly awful storyline about relationships, with people who tend to explode amusingly. It doesn’t have a shred of logic, because what woman in her right mind would want to leave Brosnan for somebody with a face like that - senator or not. The explosive water idea is great: they should do a remake.
