Missing In Action: Review

starstarstarstar
Braddock (Chuck Norris) is an American officer who spent seven years in a North Vietnamese POW camp then escaped. After the war, Braddock accompanies a government investigation team that goes to Ho Chi Minh City to check out reports of Americans still held prisoner. He gets the evidence he needs then travels to Thailand, where he meets Tuck (M. Emmet Walsh), an old Army buddy turned black market kingpin. Together they launch a mission deep into the jungle to free the American POWs and shoot up a lot of Communists. This is the film that opened the floodgates of Vietnam revisionism carried to its macho extreme in RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PART II (1985)--if America couldn't win the war, it can at least make films in which we get even. As an action picture, MISSING IN ACTION works fairly well. Norris is a worthy hero, shooting and kicking Asian enemies right and left, and the film is blessed with production values that make it quite watchable. A major success at the box office, it spawned an equally successful prequel, MISSING IN ACTION 2--THE BEGINNING (1985), shot at the same time and released only four months after MISSING IN ACTION. The less successful BRADDOCK: MISSING IN ACTION 3 came out in 1988. leave a comment
