Such a frustrating disappointment
An Exercise In Nonsense
It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
Chuck Norris is a true one man's army. Every time president of USA is in danger he will save the day. Forget FBI , CIA , army or Delta Force. All you need is Chuck ! After all he can sky dive from F117 stealth fighter ! He's also a mentor , teacher and a philosopher. A true renaissance man ! This was intended as a TV series pilot. There are few places where the cliffhanger appears , so the TV station could put some commercials in it. The special effects are definitely NOT special. Acting ? Was there any in this movie ? Script ? The most cliché and obvious as you could imagine.It's scary to think that this piece of crap was Successful enough , so they made a sequel to it ! I guess Chuck's fans are very loyal. I give it 1/10.
This is one of my favorite movies! Martial arts action, top-secret government missions, gunplay, the father-daughter relationship between Joshua McCord and his daughter Que, the way that Deke became a part of the team, the relationship between Joshua McCord and his mentor. Just a great movie! They should have kept the same actor to play Deke Slater again in the sequel! Joshua McCord is "the President's Man" - one top- secret, covert agent who accomplishes missions that no one else can accomplish - and missions that absolutely cannot be linked back to the President! (The President maintains full deniability.) From stopping drug manufacturers in Colombia, to taking them down when they team up with a Vietnamese general to build a nuclear bomb to set off in the United States, this is one action-packed movie!
Don't listen to all the trumped up bad reviews for this film! I'm convinced they are mostly from Norris haters because he is a known Republican!The film is great. It is better than the TV series Texas Ranger. It is just like a movie in the theaters except it has abrupt cuts to black where a commercial might be.The film is a mix of the James Bond style movie with American military action films. It has humor and excitement and is just a fun romp. The main characters are pretty well conceived and are well acted.If this had been a planned series, I'm sorry it never materialized.It is a good family entertainment and could very well have been a film release. It is better than some of the latest Steven Seagal movies by far and has some good action scenes. 8 out of 10!
Not satisfied with making bad Delta Force film after bad Delta Force film, Chuck Norris is now a pseudo Delta Force agent, employed directly by the president to be his secret operative, and needs to find his replacement for when he retires.Bad and rather dull throughout, the final scene could have used some Indiana Jones spicing up ... when you meet your arch nemesis just shoot him rather than ending up in a martial arts bout!No doubt intended to be the pilot for a TV series, I'll not bother watching it if so!
