If you enjoyed watching Walker Texas Ranger the TV show, you will probably like this TV movie. It has enough action to keep Walker fans interested. Unfortunately, like most episodes of the show, the story does not survive much scrutiny. The main storyline about Koreans trying to find the kid and the device that used to guide missiles is okay. They did need a better child actor playing the kid though. He steals his father's work that should be private and then runs from the police. Of course, if this kid was not such an idiot, this would be a short show. The second storyline about a ranger being framed for murder just doesn't work. It tries to incorporate CSI type material that just doesn't fit Walker Texas Ranger. The show was about old fashioned police work and fighting, not about dull crime lab stuff. Worst of all, Clarence Gilyard, who plays Walker's partner, just has a brief cameo. Also missing is Nia Peeples as the Ranger who could swing into action. Janine Turner's inability to fight is all too apparent. Jaw dropping finale might infuriate fans of the show. 5/10
