Classic Schwarzenegger film. Lots of guns, violence and great one-liners.
-
Prime Schwarzenegger with everything you'd want out of his type of film. Not his best, but a damn great time!

Absolutely nothing like what the cover suggests (or at least what I expected). Arnie seems to be phoning it in a little, but it is still ridiculous insane fun. So many one-liners. So many bullets. The ending is pretty great, specifically a scene where Arnie gets attacked in a barn and finds a creative use for sawblades...and of course the final basement showdown. It gets a 3.5 only because I think he can, and has, done better.

Shotguns. Grenades. Knifes. C4 Explosives. An axe. Pistols. Sub-machine guns. A rocket launcher. Rifles. UZIs. A garden fork. A metal pipe. Yes, just SOME of the weapons Arnie uses to bludgen, maim and de-limb those who stand in his way of seeking out his kidnapped daughter.
Arnie plays former US Special Forces soldier John Matrix who is trying to live a quiet life away from his past. But when his former colleagues come back to haunt him in the guise…

A Serious Contender for Best Movie Ever.

In this movie we are introduced to Arnie's character with a scene that has him carrying an enormous tree over one shoulder and a chainsaw in the other hand, all whilst wearing a white vest. It was at that point that I realised exactly what type of film this would be, so I turned my brain off and settled in for the ride.

"Come on Bennett... let's party"
If you want to turn your brain off, laugh like an idiot and be thoroughly entertained for an hour and a half - is there any better choice than Commando?
I can't imagine anyone other than Arnie as the lead in this. He's never been better as a one-liner spewing, ass kicking machine and it cements him as, in my eyes, the greatest action movie star of all time.
Commando is so ridiculous it borders…

Was in the mood to check out some badass action and boy did this deliver. Probably the manliest, most testosterone-filled movie I've seen since Road House - Commando was a lot of fun. Well-paced with some good action and a very solid score that I noticed several times throughout. Arnold is good as ever as an action hero. The movie uses some of its locations very well - most notably the surroundings during the end sequence (got a very Bad…

A classic of its genre, just fantastic. Rewatching it decades later, I still remember vividly all of the corny lines, insane action sequences, Vernon Wells' accent, and of course the awesome soundtrack. Things I didn't remember: Bill Paxton (!)

Despite the toe curling credits sequence where Arnie and his daughter ham it up playing happy families,Commando never disappoints as a straight up comic book style action film.
A film I can watch anytime,anywhere. I've seen it a hundred times but wouldn't mind seeing it a hundred more.
