Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.

Sabah Hensley This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Portia Hilton Blistering performances.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

rambofanlife-41678 My number 1 personal favorite Chuck Norris film ever!!! Bad-ass action film. Best of the best action film of the 80's I ever saw. This is one man army against terrorists. "It is time to die" My girlfriend bought me this film on Blu-ray I just got it today and I am so happy about it. Chuck Norris is Matt Hunter and Invasion U.S.A. is his best film of all time. I would put this film with First Blood, Rambo: First Blood Part II, Rambo, Hard Target, Die Hard, Die Hard With A Vengeance, The Last Boy Scout, Showdown In Little Tokyo, Mad Max: Fury Road, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior and any other bad ass action movie. I would put this movie above Missing In Action and this movie just become my number 1 favorite Chuck Norris movie. Chuck Norris is a bad ass in this movie with his Uzis. Steven Seagal would not had a chance against Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris works alone his one man army. Jay Chattaway made a perfect music score for this movie the same he did for Missing in Action. Joseph Zito directed perfectly this actioner movie. Friday the 13th Part IV: The Final Chapter, The Prowler, Missing in Action and Invasion U.S.A. are his favorite films of mine. Richard Lynch was excellent and a bad ass villain bad guy I have ever seen. Chuck Norris also writes the screen play for this movie. This movie has ton's of action, explosions practical effects. Hunter blows up the bad guy with M72 LAW "It's time". I miss action movies like this where are action movies like this one today? I want action movies like this one back. As you know I am action junkie I love action movies to death and Invasion U.S.A. is a bad ass action movie ever! I have this movie on Blu-ray in 1080p HD. R.I.P. Richard Lynch I miss you. 10/10

Michael_Elliott Invasion U.S.A. (1985)** 1/2 (out of 4) Absolutely insane madness about nut Mikhail Rostov (Richard Lynch) who plans to attack America by killing anyone in sight with hopes that the American people will turn against one another. His plans are going great until Matt Hunter (Chuck Norris) decides to ruin it.INVASION U.S.A. was panned by critics when it was originally released. They attacked the film for being mindless, stupid and just an excuse for non-stop violence. At the same time, those reasons for hating it are exactly why so many fans have flocked to the movie over the years and has made it one of the most popular from Cannon. In fact, I'd argue that from their entire catalog only DEATH WISH 3 is more insane and over-the-top.So, if you listen to the critics then everything they've said is true. The screenplay for this thing is downright stupid and whoever came up with the idea for this story must have been on some sort of drugs or alcohol. There's really not an inch of logic to be found anywhere in this film because you could have hours worth of debate on how so much doesn't add up. With that said, if you actually come to a Chuck Norris movie from Cannon expecting logic then you obviously don't know what you're doing.INVASION U.S.A. is without question one of the wildest, most insane and over-the-top action movies that you're ever going to see. There's really not too much of a plot but instead we just get one violent scene after another. There are countless scenes that happen for no reason than to show us violence. It's really amazing that Cannon was able to do all of these explosions because their budget must have been a lot higher than what they were used to. There are so many things getting shot up and blown up that you can't help but just kick back and have fun with it.I'm really not sure how many people get killed in this movie but it has to feature one of the largest body counts in history. Of course, Norris doesn't really have to give a performance here but instead he just has to look and act cool while blowing people away. Lynch is also a lot of fun in his role as the nut. Melissa Prophet plays the photographer but in my opinion this role should have been cut out since it really doesn't add anything. INVASION U.S.A. is about as crazy as you're going to get so kick back and enjoy.

CowherPowerForever Invasion U.S.A. from 1985 is personally my all time favorite 1980s action movie. It has everything that someone who loves this genre wants. The film features action legends. The film features over the top action. And best of all, it features some great cheesy one liners delivered by the man himself, Chuck Norris. Not to mention it was made by the Cannon Group. Those who know 80s movies should know them. The plot is goofy, I must admit that, but 80s action movies always featured goofy plots. That is what makes them so great. The following is my review of Invasion U.S.A..The story was written by James Bruner, Aaron Norris(brother of Chuck), and Chuck Norris. Bruner is known for having also wrote 80s films with Chuck Norris such as Missing in Action and The Delta Force. Aaron Norris however only had this effort under his belt for writing in the 1980s, and only three total movies. The story, if you can call it that, is pretty cheesy, but is fun as the actors and the action hold everything together. The plot follows Rostov(Richard Lynch) who leads a team of terrorists into America to try and invade it. However, he soon gets a rude awakening when his old enemy shows up(Hunter, played by Chuck Norris). So, with that basic plot outline, you get the idea. Hunter has to stop Rostov, and we all know the basics of the rest of it. As I said above, The film is fun because of the great acting and because of Chuck Norris. Personally, this is my favorite Chuck Norris movie, and the writers overall did a great job on molding together a good plot for this film.The film was directed by 1980s directing legend, Joseph Zito. Zito is very well known for his 80s hits like The Prowler, Missing in Action, and of course Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter. His vision as a director always kept me interested in his work. I loved how on a few of his works he would just end a movie. No need for that happy everyone comes together ending. He just ended the film abruptly. The film looks amazing as well. Cannon Films was very well known in the 80s for making cheap films very quickly. So for this film to look as good as any action movie from that time says a great deal about what Zito was able to do. There are some fun action scenes as well. Some that will even make you ask yourself did that just happened. The action in this film is shot amazingly, and Zito deserves so much credit for his amazing work on this film. While Zito never hit it big and his career was short, he left us with some great films, and this is my favorite.The acting area has so many great names. Of course Chuck Norris is the lead and Richard Lynch is the main villain, but other actors like Alexander Zale, Billy Drago, Alex Colon, and Eddie Jones are in the film. If you want a fun film with some fun acting, this is the film for you. Sure Chuck Norris doesn't earn an Oscar here, but he plays the calm guy perfectly, as he always does. He also delivers those one liners perfectly. If you like that cheesy acting you see in 80s action movies like this, do not overlook this film.Jay Chattaway was the composer of this film. He is known for scoring some Star Trek TV series as well as films like Silver Bullet and Missing in Action. The Cannon Group was known for taking cheap ways out when making a film, so they would cut corners in this area of film making. Often reusing scores. However, this film was an original score, that was used later on another Cannon film. The score is fun and adds some nice depth, but probably wouldn't make my list for top scores in a 80s action movie. Chattaway is a great composer and his work on this film is still very much enjoyable.In closing, I truly love this film. I watch it as often as I can, and not only do I have it as my favorite action movie ever, I also have it as my favorite Christmas action movie. Yes, above Die Hard. So that is saying something. Of course this is only my opinion, and it is perfectly fine to disagree. Though you shouldn't overlook this film. If you get a chance to watch or buy this film, do it. Do not think nice. Sadly, this film still does not have a Blu-Ray release, so the DVD version is the way you have to go. Thankfully they are cheap at a used video store for around five dollars. So pick up this fun 80s action film, and I'm sure most will enjoy this film as well.9/10

Bene Cumb Since World War II, the United States has been the most powerful country in the world, and even during the Cold War era it was hard to imagine an overland enemy intrusion into the U.S. soil (although nuclear conflict was close at least twice) - even by Soviets and/or Cubans. Hence the triggering event is odd already, but follow-up events (incl. riots and confrontations) could be yet likely, but their expression leaves to be desired: lots of clichés, lousy acting, improbable approaches and solutions, staking on single man hegemony, pointless shootings etc. The ending is predictable - and too quick-tempered.The only good and distinctive actor is Richard Lynch as Mikhail Rostov (apart from his poor Russian), Chuck Norris is dull kicker, Melissa Prophet is just a chick...Among the better half of movies with the presence of Norris, but there are still much better similar movies out there, e.g. those with Bruce Willis or Mel Gibson.
