Arnie's version of Rambo. During the height of the Schwarzenegger/Stallone rivalry, Arnold made Commando, an in your face assault on Rambo. Who is more rip, bigger guns, (both arms and weapons) over the top action, and pure muscle pushes each actor to out do the other, which results in the making of Commando, which is so bad it's good. Cheesy story, with non awarding winning acting is mixed with insane action, muscles, and Dark Humor makes Commando fun to watch. Funny with one liners like " I eat Green Berets for breakfast and I'm hungry" , "He's dead tired", "Let off some steam Bennet" are classics for anyone who has seen Commando. Watch it, live it and love it.10 stars!

This is my favourite action film and I can't find any faults in it. It has great chases and shoot-outs. Arnold Schwarzenegger gives his best performance.It has lots of very funny lines and scenes - more humour than I've seen in any other action film.

A retired Special Forces officer, Colonel John Matrix (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger), is living the quiet life. He is happily spending his time in a remote country house where he dotes on his daughter, Jenny (Alyssa Milano). However, some mercenaries, former colleagues of his, have other plans. They kidnap Jenny and give Matrix an ultimatum - assassinate a central American leader or they will kill Jenny. Matrix has other ideas.Incredibly weak and one-dimensional, i.e. your typical Arnie movie. Lame plot: every scene is just a set up for another action sequence. Any character depth or development is token - the scenes where Matrix interacts with his daughter are cringingly lame and superficial.Then, of course, there's the acting, especially Arnie's. He's not there for his acting ability, and it shows. Alyssa Milano, only 12/13 years old at the time, puts in an okayish performance though. Dan Hedaya is badly miscast as the head villain - the role was beneath him and he really deserves better.Only worth watching if you've never seen an explosion or a fight before.

Plot; An exiled South American dictator kidnaps the daughter of a retired special forces soldier in an effort to force him into assassinating his successor.The first shot of our hero (Arnold Schwarzenegger, at the absolute peak of his powers) is him walking briskly through the woods with a tree slung over his shoulder. A tree. A. Tree. Over the next 90 or so minutes he flips one car over and tears the seat out of another, rips a phone booth out of the ground and single handedly defeats an entire army. Is this ridiculous? No, it's the 80s.'Commando' isn't high art, but it's a brutally efficient and well made b-movie whose only agenda is to entertain, and that it does. It may not be Arnold's best film, but it may very well be his most generically entertaining.
