Movie Review: Blurring the line between good and bad
Summary: 3 Stars
"Invasion USA" should be a definite guilty pleasure for anyone who thinks it's possible for a movie to be so bad it's good. It's just plausible enough that it COULD happen, but more than ridiculous enough to provide ample laughs along with the action typical of Chuck Norris movies. The plot, to the extent that one exists, concerns an evil Russian agent named Rostov (you know he's bad because he has a very swarthy complexion), who leads a small army in an invasion of Florida. Rostov is one vicious guy: in a memorable early scene, he buys arms from a guy, then shoots him in the crotch and throws a coke whore out the window before departing. Later on, he and some cronies drive down a residential street randomly bazookaing houses. Rostov's fiendish plot is to sow unrest among the people, turning them against each other in order to create disorder. He and his men are always one step ahead of law enforcement, so who can stop Rostov and insure the continued triumph of truth, justice, and the American way? Why, ex-superagent Matt Hunter, that's who. After he survives Rostov's attempt to kill him, Hunter springs into action. In the streets, in the alleys, and even in the mall, Hunter is a one-man wrecking crew, plowing through bad guys to get to Rostov. He foils numerous terrorist plots, leading up to the all-hell-breaks-loose firefight of the conclusion. If all this sounds pretty ridiculous, it's because it is. Early on, Rostov talks a bit about how America's open society leaves its citizens vulnerable to terrorist activity, but the movie quickly abandons any philosophical inclinations for the standard '80's action fare. Still, if you're a fan of Norris movies, or the bad action genre in general, "Invasion USA" is a worthy view. It actually manages to be one of Norris's better movies, although such a compliment is surely damning it with faint praise.Movie Review: Not a Bad Norris Flick
Summary: 3 Stars
This should have been called Invasion Miami or Invasion Florida.There is talk about "attacks" all over the US but the films budget didn't show any of that. The action is limited to Florida.
Lucky the BigBadGuy stays in that area since he has a grudge against Chuck Norris's character.
Norris does NO wrong in this movie. He always has the upper hand.
It's a bit dark; even on DVD. It's not very long. There are no real extras here. The amazon.com price is good. The wife wanted it for her collection.
Movie Review: a new meaning to "implausible"
Summary: 3 Stars
Ok some kickass action, BUT, my word it is so implausible! The bad guy is so obsessed with eliminating Chuckee, they know exactly where to find his swamp house, they go to all the trouble of of going there, blowing it up to kill him, and you would think they'd take the trouble of getting out of their swampmobiles to check if he's really dead. But noooo, they drive away. Stupid. The whole thing is dotted with rediculous contradictions to logic. Switch off your brain when watching.Movie Review: The sequel is better!

Movie Review: vintage Chuck Norris
Summary: 2 Stars
One of Chuck Norris's better known movies; TBS has shown this countless times. It doesn't really get better with age though. Not Chuck's best movie but better than several of the real duds like Forced Vengeance and Good Guys Wear Black. It's Chuck against the Russkies who invade his homeland and really tee him off. No real extras on the DVD, just the movie. Action is not really memorable in this movie, and it's pretty unbelievable even for a Chuck movie. But, if you're a Chuck fan, this one is a must because it's got a few classic Chuck one-liners.
