Let's continue looking on
Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is one of my biggest guilty pleasures, so
get your rocket-launchers ready and let's go commando.
A retired Black Ops
Commando goes on a one man war against the criminals that have
kidnapped his daughter.
This is very much what it
sounds like. It's Arnold Schwarzenegger(known for his work on Eraser,
True Lies, Total Recall, Terminator 2: Judgment Day) playing John
Matrix, a Commando who lives with his daughter(played by a young
Alyssa Milano who is known for her work on Double Dragon, Fear and
the TV-show Charmed)in the mountains(or away from civilization if you
want). The bad-guys wants to blackmail John Matrix to do an political
assassination so a dictator can get back in power. So they kidnap his
daughter to blackmail him. Yeah, they kidnap Schwarzenegger's
daughter. Bad move dudes. As you might have guessed John Matrix does
not like this and is going to war against the criminals. This movie
is what you think about when you hear the name Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It's straight forward, it's kill everything and blow up what's left.
Arnold Schwarzenegger does
his job great, too be fair it doesn't ask much of him in this movie.
His character is a killingmachin. He loves his daughter, that much is
obvious, but other than that he is just a killingmachin. This movie
also have some of the greatest one-liners ever put to film and no one
delivers one-liners like Arnold Schwarzenegger. I can't state this
enough, Arnold Schwarzenegger as a Commando is a great idea. He's not
very stealthie of course but damn can he shoot. The worst thing with
this movie is the female character that helps Arnold Schwarzenegger's
character. She is one of the most annoying character ever put too
film, I'm sure about it. She is whiny, she is annoying and she has
one of those voices that makes it feel like your head is going to
explode. Luckily you will get over her and forget her as soon Arnold
keeps doing his thing.
There is not much more to
say about it. It is really just Arnold Schwarzenegger shooting every
bad-guy he can see. This is great for the days when you really don't
want a heavy movie to watch. It's 90 minutes of mindless shooting,
fantastic one-liners and Arnold making Arnold sounds. It's my
ultimate guilty pleasure movie with my ultimate guilty pleasure actor
and i recommend it for the fun cheesy 80's action movie it is.
TL;DR
The movie you think of
when you hear the name Arnold Schwarzenegger. Fantastic action.
Fantastic one-liners. Very annoying female lead character. Great 90
minutes of mindless action.
My question for you:
Are
there room for mindless action-movies in this day and age?
What
is your favorite Arnold Schwarzenegger one-liner?
