Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises
Freaktana A Major Disappointment
Whitech It is not only a funny movie, but it allows a great amount of joy for anyone who watches it.
scribe1270 I gave it an 8 out of 10 because it does (as others have noted) follow the old formula of the Mentor (Norris) training the next generation (Neal) as his eventual replacement. Certainly there are similarities between it and other like minded films and of course his character is very much like his character in Walker Texas Ranger. That said I enjoyed it as what it was meant to be. Pure escapism entertainment. Made for TV movies do have smaller budgets than the big box office features so naturally you get what you pay for. Also part of it I think is the difference in picture quality between TV and big screen movies. A TV image has around 280 scan lines per second to maintain the image, but a DVD (yes it's out on DVD now) has around twice that many. Also if something is misaligned (say for a blue screen effect) for the small screen (TV) it's not as noticeable since the screen is smaller. The same misalignment for the big screen (theater) would be a very noticeable thing though. In short the movie people put more work into a film for the big screen because they have more time, money, and errors are more likely to be caught on the big screen. This movie is what it is, a made for TV 90 minute escape from everyday life. You can't judge a movie made for TV by the same criteria as you would one made for the big screen. Plus the man was 60 yrs old already when he made it. How many people would still have the stamina to act like he did in this one at that age? Arnold Schwarzenegger is just 7 yrs younger than Mr. Norris and he has gone into politics. Probably because he recognizes his own human limits and that he's not the young man he was when he made Conan and the Terminator.
rmolloy-1 this film has to be seen to be believed, if only to see the scene where chuck skydives out of the bomb bay of an F117 stealth fighter. i dare anybody to watch that scene without rolling around on the carpet with a stitch in your gut from laughing.i have to repeat that ! skydiving from an F117 stealth fighter ! you have to see that little dot shoot across the screen !also very commendable of chuck to take on the cartel soldiers in hand to hand fights, and to give them prior warning as well.question ! why is chuck Norris not making more movies now? we need more Norris film, there is nothing better that seeing one of these little gems on TV in the wee hours of the morning.
Alex Brown 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!
ozzyp I just had to comment on this movie after catching it one late night up. One must wonder how features such as these get made. Poor effects, dismal script, terrible acting....i could go on but i'd be wasting my time. Good to see Chuck Norris not acting again. I cant think of a movie that relates to it to recommend because the whole thing is so cliched; there are millions of better films. 0 stars
