Movie Reviews of Commando [Blu-ray]

Movie Review: "Any carry-on luggage?"Just him."
Summary: 4 Stars

Commando was released the year after I was born, but I've never seen it up until now. But I've heard absolutely loads about it. There are some people out there, who visit Bennett forums, and can quote every line in the film constantly. Every day in fact. It's getting to the point where I can finish the quotes. And I don't want to be that sad. But I still hadn't seen the movie. Until he got the blu ray.

There's not much of a storyline to Commando. It's your typical Arnie fare, with plenty of muscle, plenty of brilliant one liners (especially from Bennett), lots of deaths, and a very young Alyssa Milano. Does it get any better than this? (Yes, add a tall as he is wide Danny DeVito and I'm as happy as a pig in manure.)

Commando starts with a bang, some nice happy father/daughter scenes between Arnie & Alyssa, and there's plenty of action after that. And I mean plenty of action. Bennett is played by camp Freddie Mercury lookalike Vernon Wells, and I'm wondering how on earth any of the crew managed not to laugh during any of his scenes. It freaked me out a couple of times, he's so over the top in some scenes and some of his lines are unintentionally hilarious and have developed a small cult following online. (There are actually websites devoted to this guy.)

I started laughing as soon as Alyssa appeared on screen. She looks exactly the same as she does these days, hair's the same etc, but just a bit older, and more polished. And slightly taller, but she's not that tall to begin with (5foot 2, and she's still taller than me.) She's such a little cutie in the movie even if she is wearing DUNGAREES and even she manages to pull it off.

I was thoroughly impressed with Commando, and it looked amazing in high definition. Arnie can do no wrong in my opinion (yes, even in Twins, BRILLIANT movie) and maybe now I'm in the mood to re-watch all his films. Purely for the movies of course, not for the muscle at all.

Summary of Commando [Blu-ray]

A massively underrated action thriller that kept Arnold Schwarzenegger occupied between mid-'80s blockbusters, Commando may be one of the last shoot-out films ever to have real characters in it. Not, of course, that they're anything other than stereotypes, but they're painted with such detailed, positive strokes that it's impossible not to relate to them. Arnie plays a retired military special-ops officer whose daughter (played with an expert balance of cute/feisty by Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped by the baddest of bad guys, who'll only hand her back as and when he's assassinated a tiresome banana-republic president on their behalf. Needless to say, Arnie is deeply annoyed by this, rescues the moppet single-handed amid more bullets and explosions than you can shake a stuntman's pay cheque at, and... well, why spoil the fun by revealing any more? Co-star Rae Dawn Chong gets some nice one-liners as the innocent bystander who gets caught up in the mayhem. --Roger Thomas

In this early action classic that features his unique blend of thrills and offbeat humor Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Col. John Matrix ultimate soldier and one-man army. Matrix the former leader of a special commando strike force that always got the toughest jobs done is forced back into action when his young daughter (Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped. To find her Matrix has to fight his way through an array of punks killers one of his former commandos and a fully equipped private army. With the help of a feisty stewardess (Rae Dawn Chong) and an old friend Matrix has only a few hours to overcome his greatest challenge: finding his daughter before she's killed.Episodes-Bonus Features:**Widescreen Theatrical Feature**D-Box Motion Sensor Track**Theatrical Trailer**Trailers (AVP BEHIND ENEMY LINES PHONE BOOTH POTA TRANSPORTER)System Requirements:Running Time: 90 minsFormat: BLU-RAY DISC Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: R UPC: 024543414223 Manufacturer No: 2241422
