Commando: Review

COMMANDO opens with Arnold Schwarzenegger and his daughter, Alyssa Milano, living an idyllic life in the mountains. He's a retired Special Forces colonel who refuses to go back to active duty. Villains representing a South American general kidnap the girl and then demand that Schwarzenegger assassinate the president of their country. He is put on a southbound plane with a guard, but before the plane can take off Schwarzenegger snaps the man's neck and jumps off the plane. Now he just has to locate his daughter and rescue her. Though not as good as TERMINATOR, the film has a better-than-usual script for this sort of thing and shows a lot of humor. Schwarzenegger isn't especially good as an actor, but his presence is impressive, and he is beginning to show some style, if not much substance. For action fans, one of the picks of the litter for the year. leave a comment
