Commando (1985)
4/10
Typical bad 80's action film

Well i pushed myself to make it through this one and i don't know why i bothered. It's typical Arnold saying some good one liners and shooting random people but the plot is lacking. His daughter gets kidnapped by the former president of Val Verde who he helped overthrow when he was an elite soldier. The president wants Arnolds character John Matrix(Typical tacky action hero name.) to kill the current president so he can return to power. But John Matrix doesn't cooperate and he finds the island they have taken her to and he kills pretty much everyone there and rescues her. The acting is very dry but we have come to expect that from Arnold through out his career. The action scenes are mediocre at best with a horrible shot knife fight between him and a soldier who was in his unit. All in all this is an action movie you can avoid. Not one of Arnolds better movies.
