Dragan Trifkovic ***THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILER(S)*** I'm not a big fan of Chuck Norris as an actor, but I worship him in all other ways. He also have his own fan web site with "Chuck Norris facts" that is really entertaining. But this movie looks like someone was joking with the audience putting all those "facts" into one movie. I really don't remember when I wasted my time more than with this "action". I don't know what's the worst this movie can offer you: unoriginal and thousand-times-made plot of terrorists who are trying to nuke US by smuggling nuke on US soil or perhaps that "great" dialogs and Chucks words of wisdom about life and everything else. Someone may find the worst that terrorists actually speak English in everyday life. It's a never ending list of crap. Not to mention huge amount of archive footage used in film, that is kinda annoying. The chief terrorist send his comrades message through the media when he is captured and the only guy smart enough to see the treat is: Chuck Norris, of course. NO ONE else in America is not smart enough to see that! And the whole action in capturing chief is just ridiculous. One man is sent to walk through a whole terrorist camp UNARMED (I'm lying, he had a KNIFE), escapes his stalkers with JET PACK and then para glides for few hundred, maybe even thousand kilometers to nearest shore (Afganistan border is 450 km far away from nearest shore), where he is rescued by submarine. I hoped that at least fighting scenes will be good, but that's even more funny than the plot. If you didn't know, 85% of terrorist are masters of some martial art, but Chuck and CO beat the sh*t out of them. Not only they kill them easily, they can kick and throw them away by a single move and the bad guys fly few meters like dolls. You may ask me did I watch this movie to the end? I did. Why? Because I just wanted to see who, of these two super heroes, will defuse the nuclear bomb of few hundred megatons and size of a MICROWAVE. And then I realized what fool I am. Of course, it's Chuck's movie after all. And not only he singlehandedly defuse nuke with tweezers, but he do it - TWICE!! I could write a book about all the stupid things in this movie, but I would spend my life spawn.So, makers of this movie made another Chuck Norris fact to be added on his web site: Can Chuck Norris defuse nuclear bomb? Yes and he can do it twice!
eptcb Chuck plays a secret service agent alongside his son, Eric, who also directed. This "film" is so filled with stereotypical bad guy Middle Eastern terrorists and the arch villan is so "over the top" it can actually be quite hilarious. It also includes more blatantly ripped off action sequences of the ridiculous and trendy new "matrix style" slow motion and impossible acrobatic moves than any film to date... again these are just so obviously ripped off and unoriginal and fake...its actually quite hilarious.SPOILER WARNING: The story (surprise)revolves around Chuck stopping a nuclear bomb from going off in D.C... The movie climaxes.... (surprise) with a one on one fight to the death with the arch villan. Of course, each of the main characters...like Chuck's son and the "tough good girl" get their own one on one fight scenes with their respective bad guy/bad girl counterparts at the end as well. The Eric Norris's fight is especially funny. And of course, the bad guys die in spectacular fashion.The gun play and fight scenes and the way the bad guys get killed are so cheesy it's actually hilarious. There are also a bunch of priceless special effect snafu's like where the gun sounds are completely out of sync...or you can see the out of place padding the stuntmen land on. In addition, the story is such a "cookie cutter action movie with the good guys trying to defuse a bomb in time" that I can't think of a more predictable film. Nevertheless, If your the sort who can sit through other Chuck Norris movies like, "Invasion USA" , "Delta Force" or the classic "M.I.A." series just for the laugh factor then this movie is highly entertaining. In fact, it's probably the funniest yet!Again, I highly recommend watching this movie if your the sort that can laugh at stuff like this.
SirAndyL Oh dear, Oh dear. I started watching this not knowing what to expect. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There were times when I thought it was a comedy. I loved how the government's plan to capture the terrorist leader is to air drop in one man, who is unarmed, and expect him to capture him and escape with a rocket pack. If only it were really that easy. I've finally found a movie worse than "Plan 9 From Outer Space".
plaidtiger I've always enjoyed seeing Chuck Norris in film. Although the acting may not be superb, the fight scenes are fantastic. I also enjoyed seeing Judson Mills perform along side him. In my opinion, the Norris Brothers have proven themselves to be fine entertainers and this was yet another fine production! I hope you take the time to view this movie!
