Watch The President's Man: A Line in the Sand For Free

I love this movie so much

From my favorite movies..

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I started watching this - not knowing what to expect - but - hoping that it would be in the same vein as Lone Wolf McQuade. I was wrong. For those folks who see this as an action adventure - I would be more satisfied watching Wide World of Wrestling. Chuck Norris is in the movie - but - his presence is minimal. Watchable - perhaps - but - barely. Made for TV movie - to fill a time slot. Oh well - I'll just dig through my stacks of DVDs - and - dig out the earlier Chuck Norris movies - which were - of a much better quality in terms of plot - dialogue and action. I understand that Lone Wolf McQuade was made in 1983 - when Chuck Norris was forty-three years old - and - The President's Man was made in 2002 - twenty years later - when he was in his sixties - but - although the basic idea was sound - (someone ready to retire and who is looking for a replacement) - the execution was poor.

***THIS POST CONTAINS SPOILER(S)*** I'm not a big fan of Chuck Norris as an actor, but I worship him in all other ways. He also have his own fan web site with "Chuck Norris facts" that is really entertaining. But this movie looks like someone was joking with the audience putting all those "facts" into one movie. I really don't remember when I wasted my time more than with this "action". I don't know what's the worst this movie can offer you: unoriginal and thousand-times-made plot of terrorists who are trying to nuke US by smuggling nuke on US soil or perhaps that "great" dialogs and Chucks words of wisdom about life and everything else. Someone may find the worst that terrorists actually speak English in everyday life. It's a never ending list of crap. Not to mention huge amount of archive footage used in film, that is kinda annoying. The chief terrorist send his comrades message through the media when he is captured and the only guy smart enough to see the treat is: Chuck Norris, of course. NO ONE else in America is not smart enough to see that! And the whole action in capturing chief is just ridiculous. One man is sent to walk through a whole terrorist camp UNARMED (I'm lying, he had a KNIFE), escapes his stalkers with JET PACK and then para glides for few hundred, maybe even thousand kilometers to nearest shore (Afganistan border is 450 km far away from nearest shore), where he is rescued by submarine. I hoped that at least fighting scenes will be good, but that's even more funny than the plot. If you didn't know, 85% of terrorist are masters of some martial art, but Chuck and CO beat the sh*t out of them. Not only they kill them easily, they can kick and throw them away by a single move and the bad guys fly few meters like dolls. You may ask me did I watch this movie to the end? I did. Why? Because I just wanted to see who, of these two super heroes, will defuse the nuclear bomb of few hundred megatons and size of a MICROWAVE. And then I realized what fool I am. Of course, it's Chuck's movie after all. And not only he singlehandedly defuse nuke with tweezers, but he do it - TWICE!! I could write a book about all the stupid things in this movie, but I would spend my life spawn.So, makers of this movie made another Chuck Norris fact to be added on his web site: Can Chuck Norris defuse nuclear bomb? Yes and he can do it twice!

A true hero of modern times , Chuck Norris has left TV "Walker , Rexas Ranger ", and is looking new steps for his artistic career. The President´s man is the second movie of a future TV series , with Norris in the title role, and with young actors like Jennifer Tung or Judson Mills ( one of the young rangers of "Walker " ) . The old master teachs to young aspirant . It´s one of the most powerful themes of "The president´s man ". In this tima, "A line in the sand " has reached world surprise for his tratment of terrorism in USA , months before the tragic September 11. Eric Norris, son of Chuck is the director . The movie is amusing, a good action work , plenty of fights and heroism . Chuck Norris have many plans for the future . Bells of innocence , his next picture, will be the following.

You know, as much as I like Chuck Norris and the charity and motivational work he does, this made for TV movie really reeked of bad writing, directing and event action...I can tell as most here would agree that this "show" was made as cheaply as it could have been with a lot of high-tech archival footage from NASA, the U.S. military, and a few other sources like CNN and the like, for a current events style appearance to what has happened in this country over the last 6 months since September 11th...This show made no real point, it had unrealistic action, and it wasn't even really funny if they had tried to make it as such??? Who could tell that, unless they were part of the crew...I have to say that this also looked like they tried to get it "in the can" as soon as they could to release it to the network to "fill-in" some time slot after the playoff games, and even had to get the color announcer on the CBS affiliate to say something to the effect of: "I bet Chuck will kick some serious butt, tonight!" I knew from right there this was going to be really bad...So we went over to a friends house that evening hoping to avoid it after the game, but their kids got hooked into it...sigh...Too bad...But after watching it for a while, it got me to thinking "how bad could this really get...???"But that is why I had to post this...Anyone who sees this in the up coming years will know this to be true if you got hooked into it...Sorry, we couldn't warn you before hand...My advice to Chuck...Love your style man, but your programs really stink...If I were you, I'd drop those hack you work with, and get back to what you know about...Good luck!
