Commando
One of the better, if less intelligent, arguments for a 1980s revival. Arnie is a retired elite commando, he has 10 hours to save his daughter from an evil dictator, he's quite cross. "Somewhere... somehow... someone's going to pay"
An Arnie action flick which you could be forgiven for confusing with any one of a dozen strikingly similar muscle-bound fight fests. This is the one in which Arnie avenges himself on the goons who kidnapped his daughter. The plot could have been, and probably was, written on the back of a bullet, but the slaughter is relieved by a welcome streak of humour with Arnie trading wisecracks with partner Rae Dawn Chong. But it's really an excuse for the Austrian action man to fire very large guns and set off explosions that will rattle your speakers and shake the plaster from your walls. Subtle it isn't. Verdict Thanks to Arnie there's a good return on bangs for your buck in this gloriously gung-go example of 1980s action. |
