Watch Commando For Free

That was an excellent one.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

This is one of those timeless classics from Arnold Schwarzenegger that you do not get tired of watching, despite knowing the storyline so well already.The movie is from 1985 and is definitely one of the defining movies in the early stages of Schwarzenegger's action movie career."Commando" has a heap of action, and actually has a good story and of course it is crammed with one-liners.Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rae Dawn Chong carry the movie quite nicely, while Vernon Wells in the role of the main bad guy was just laughable because of the way the character was written and the fact that he wore a chainmail shirt throughout the entire movie.There are lots of mistakes in the movie, with the obvious ones being Sully's yellow Porsche that alternates between having a severely damaged chassis to being in mint condition and then going back to being severely damaged. But also the numerous scenes where it is painstakingly obvious that it is a stunt double for Schwarzenegger performing the action sequences.But all in all, a very entertaining action movie filled with nostalgia.

When Arnold Schwarzenegger first said he wanted to be an actor and had plans to become an international superstar, few thought he would find success. His strong accent seemed an unassailable obstacle. But he found roles that fit him and proved his detractors wrong. He played Conan, a barbarian role that did not require modern day English. Then he played the Terminator--an android whose stilted language was custom made for Arnold's talents.In "Commando", he plays John Matrix, an elite ex-commando--originally from Germany--whose talents are desired by evil forces. His speech in this film is still somewhat stilted, but he was on his way to achieving his goals.The plot is classic suspense, complete with a ticking clock countdown that keeps viewers fully engaged in every moment. He has to achieve a nearly impossible task before the clock expires or his daughter will be sacrificed. Alyssa Milano plays the daughter, Jenny, to perfection. And Schwarzenegger convincingly plays the caring father part (compare to Jason Statham in "Homefront").Raw Dawn Chong plays Cindy, a flight attendant who reluctantly becomes involved in Matrix's mission, adding more humor to the story. The film never takes itself too seriously, and includes the casual puns we have come to expect from a Schwarzenegger (or James Bond) film, especially when he dispatches an adversary.Matrix is a physical specimen with unbelievable strength and skills. The director stresses this so that we believe it when Matrix uses his incredible power, as when he lifts an occupied phone booth overhead. This is fun stuff. An invincible hero does the impossible in accomplishing an ethical task. The role was made for Schwarzenegger.

When you watch Commando, don't expect a movie with interesting characters and a great script. What you will get from this film is guns, one-liners, blood, muscles, and clichés.This movie is a pretty good action flick. I mean, its not the Terminator or John Wick but its pretty good. By far the best element in this film is the cheesiness. You know that the actors and staff are not taking this seriously and just want you to have a good time.Arnold is the ultimate male symbol in this film. You can see that in the first scene in which he appears. He has a chainsaw in one arm and a f*cking giant log in the other while wearing a tank top. There really was nobody else who could play this character in the movie.The one-liners are great. They are so cheesy and good. You really get a kick every time you hear one.The action is pretty fake of course, but you can have a lot of fun with it if you don't mind that a machine gun can shoot forever and never run out of ammo. This movie really feels like a video game. The only problems I have with this movie are the female lead, which I really didn't find useful at all and didn't really know why she was helping Matrix just because. Also, she was pretty stupid.The other problem I have with the film is that the action doesn't pick up until the end. Don't get me wrong, there are some pretty good action scenes sprinkled here and there but I think they should have spent more time in the final battle which is really fun and the best part of the film.Another thing I cant help but notice in this film is that Vernon Wells (Bennet) looks an awful lot like Freddie Mercury with that facial hair.

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.
