This is one of the most brainless action movies of the 80's, But neverless a great movie because it has everything other action movies don't such as humour and one-liners for a start, and the lead role of John Martix is played by Arnold, and when you place him in the centre of a movie like this, it makes Rambo look like a cookie girl with a 9mm semi-auto. The Acting is unique because of the villain Bennett (Wells) is so intent of being the better man with his acting being superb.
The movie starts out with Cooke (Bill Duke) killing off random people in the first 5 minutes, later to be John Matrix's (Arnie) ex Commando friends. Matrix and his daughter (Milano) are living out a normal life in the forest near a small village, within minutes of a normal morning Martix's life is turned upside down and inside out when the only thing worth living for is kidnapped, his daughter. Matrix has no choice but to co-operate with a South American dictator (Heyada) to kill a president, if he co-operates, he will save his daughter from death, if he doesn't she will be chopped up and sent to him in the mail. But what they didn't know is that Matrix has a third choice, Go Commando! and kill every person involved and save his daughter.
What really made this movie special for me is when Matrix puts on is army uniform and stocks up with his weapons on the island and stands their like he is king of the world, it sent shivers up my spine.
With great one-liners, humour, action, and plot, this is an all round great action flick.
9/10
