11/07: Invasion U.S.A. is one of the most brain-dead action films I've seen. I am not even sure after seeing Invasion U.S.A. if Chuck Norris qualifies as an "actor." Anybody who tackles the idea as shown in Invasion U.S.A. has a film heading for bomb. When I saw the number of men coming out from the boats, it was a joke. You expect me to believe that a good hundred can conquer the United States of America whose population is two hundred something million. Invasion U.S.A. is more like Invasion Miami, Florida. It's basically what the movie is about. As for Chuck Norris, he sure got few good lines, but was he trying to imitate Dirty Harry or what? Everything about Norris...the way he moves, the way he walks, the way he talks, and the way he fights...was monotonously performed. I think Seagal had much better personality than Norris. If Rostov was really worried about Hunter, then I could have said that there may be more than a thousand of Hunters in U.S.A. Either way, Rostov is screwed. It probably goes without saying that everybody is at nadir of their careers when they did the movie. It's hard for me to believe how Matt Hunter can be in the right place at the right time nearly every time something happens. Oddly, given the fact that Chuck Norris is a Christian, he wrote the junk that led to Invasion U.S.A.? Regardless, as Invasion U.S.A. advertised itself as a bonanza of fireworks when it comes to action, I wasn't sure if I saw that much of it. At the end of the film, where the bad guys got surrounded by an army, I was surprised at how much of them survived the initial fire. If something like that happens in real life, it would have been an instant slaughter within a minute; in other words, it should have been a 95% wipe-out of the group. Afterwards, 100% elimination the next minute is realistic. When Matt Hunter's house got blown up in the swamps, I was disappointed to see him not to take his pet armadillo with him. What kind of a message is that? The scene, where the guy with glasses holds the lady close to the truck while he is driving...don't you think his arm would have been very tired? Perhaps if he let her go, his driving would improve considerably? I got to comment the ending. What was that? Hunter kills Rostov. Cut. The end. That's it. Awful. The feeling I got out of the ending was as if the audience matters nothing to the producers. By the way, I had never seen a robotic acting like the way how Chuck Norris did in Invasion U.S.A. Of course, I had to wonder if Chuck Norris even blinks. On the other hand, I speculate if the film was meant to strain the relations between U.S.A. and U.S.S.R. and to escalate the tensions of the Cold War. Needless to say, Invasion U.S.A. is one of the many films to come out of the 80's where the Americans are the good guys and the Russians are the evil scums. Through a false belief, I feel ashamed. The line "It's time to die" from Chuck Norris is too brainless for me to take that I actually wished it was directed to Chuck himself. Another scene that had me puzzled is when Chuck was driving through the street full of pimps, hookers, and lowlifes, they throw stuff at his truck while shouting expletives. How did they know who he is? Was that supposed to be a message there? I can't understand why the reporter is running around, being in the right place at the right time, and snapping pictures of what's happening. Was she the most useless character of the film? Then again, there were also quite many of them. As for the plot, forget it...it disappeared into another planet outside of the solar system. In so many ways, Invasion U.S.A. is a perfect opposite of Die Hard.
