RipDelight This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
AnhartLinkin This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Cristi_Ciopron This is an old-fashioned movie, although the technology has a role: the satellite used to track the Columbian facility, otherwise there are '80s rock, a Vietnamese officer and memories of the Vietnamese war, fights in the Columbian forest …. The 1st scene is of Norris teaching about Bushido and the samurai's behavior. He has a daughter who's half Vietnamese. He meets again his Vietnamese enemy, the killer of his wife, in the Columbian forest; and maybe this unexpected encounter with an aged enemy is the decisive moment in the samurai's life that Norris was teaching about in the opening. The movie makes much of the training of the next man of the president, which is bland enough that even the few funny moments seem genuinely humorous. A president's man is assigned missions like rescuing the president's wife, or a congressman's daughter held hostage by a creepy cult, or a scientist kidnapped by the drugs cartel.These assignments take the warrior in Rio, in Columbia, and even Vietnam is somewhat brought in the Columbian forest …. A silly script, lackluster and clumsy storytelling, and a bland role for Norris, here as a martial arts teacher, and what he has to do is look like a walking sphinx; and the story takes a very chaste view: sexless characters, no blooming romance, with the new trustee choosing the job, not, as one might of expected, an idyll with the Vietnamese liaison.Like many of the '30s cowboys, like many of the '80s fighters, Norris wasn't an actor, but a showman. Fortunately, he doesn't try to act. So, if you enjoy his generic character, you will also enjoy his roles.One may ask whether Norris didn't deserve a career's twilight more like Wayne's, i.e., more dignified. But did Bronson, or others, got one? This movie, with its crass pompous militarism, has been made for children. The fights are bloodless, the movie is enjoyable (if you need to see another movie with Norris, or are an unpretentious kid) and mostly mediocre; the dialogues, stilted and sometimes mindless, as when Norris attributes his disciple's indiscipline on his … survival instinct, when it was heroic impulsiveness.I liked it for what it is, a modest unintelligent militarist show, a 3rd hand version of the Republican creed, the fights are exciting though ordinary.
Harry Lags Chuck Norris star's as The President's Man, a secret agent who does anything that the president needs done.He is the U.S. president's highly classified secret agent who must find a courageous replacement to take over his highly dangerous military missions. This is a good movie with a mix of action, drama and adventure throughout the film. There is also some good martial arts in the movie too.If you are a fan of Chuck Norris you need to watch this! If you are not, then i believe you will still enjoy it! Overall, this is a great Chuck Norris film.Highly recommended. 8 out of 10!
Isaac Delongchamp I don't see how you could not like this movie... I mean, listen to this: at the beginning of the movie, Norris has to go to Brazil to rescue the first lady. Logically, he has to take a stealth bomber from which he parachutes from at somewhere around Mach-1. Norris then proceeds to land on the roof, pull some outrageous swing-through-the-window bull****, roundhouse kick everyone in the chest, and parachute to the ocean where he drops off the first lady to a waiting seals team and continues to parachute off into the distance.Jump ahead half an hour and some Asian chick is punching the new recruit in the crotch as he does pull ups. awesome.Jump ahead an hour and a defenseless girl gets knocked the **** out with a sucker punch to the face.Jump ahead to the very end and a kidnapped scientist makes a nuclear bomb out of plutonium, a pile of metal, and a screwdriver.Overall, this is a hilariously terrible movie.
charliepisces If you have seen even one of Norris's former horror shows AKA films, or his disgusting series "Walker, Texas Ranger" than you have seen this film's plot already, and it's outcome. It even has the same lame sound track that tries to inspire people in the American way. All it inspired me to do was change the channel. I will never understand how these films get funded and produced. I know dead people that can write better scripts! Please, warn all you know about this mess! Avoid it at all costs, and for god's sake, keep the children away from it!!!
