That was an excellent one.

Really Surprised!

Great Film overall

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Rugged commando John T. Booker (the almighty Chuck Norris in solid rough'n'tumble form) and his elite squad the Black Tigers are left behind enemy lines by their backstabbing superiors during a mission in Vietnam. Five years later someone starts picking off the surviving members of the squad. It's up to Booker to find out who's behind the killings and take the person down. Director Ted Post, working from a complex and cynical script by Bruce Cohn and Mark Medoff, relates the complicated and chillingly plausible plot at a steady pace, maintains a tough and paranoid no-nonsense tone throughout, astutely nails the bleak and shadowy zeitgeist of post-Watergate 70's America, and stages the rousing action scenes with aplomb. Moreover, the story makes a grim, yet relevant and provocative central point about government expediency and corruption. The fine cast helps matters a whole lot: the charming and fetching Anne Archer delivers an appealingly spunky portrayal of snoopy investigative lawyer Margaret, James Franciscus makes for a suitably slimy villain as ruthless and treacherous politico Conrad Morgan, Lloyd Haynes does well as Booker's shrewd buddy Murray Saunders, Dana Andrews likewise excels as the bitter and washed-up Edgar Harolds, and Jim Backus has a funny bit as a cheery doorman. Norris cuts loose with his patented lethal karate moves on several exciting occasions; the definite show-stopping highlight occurs when the Chucker does a fierce flying kick through a car windshield. Robert Steadman's slick cinematography gives the picture a nice glossy look and boasts a few breathtaking aerial shots. Craig Safan's funky, jazzy, pulsating score hits the get-down groovy spot. A worthy item.

This is a pretty bad Chuck Norris flick, that's quite boring to watch, with hardly any martial arts action, and a dull story. All the characters are only so so, and a lot of the actors looked bored, plus even Chuck is boring to watch in this one!. It had one cool moment, where Chuck Norris kicks a guy through the front window, however the rest is just plain dull, plus I appreciated then it went more on plot, but damn it at least make it interesting!. Anne Archer is totally wasted here, and had no chemistry with Norris, plus James Franciscus is terrible as the main villain, and looked rather bored. I am a fan of Chuck Norris, but have seen quite a few terrible films from him, and this is one of his absolute worst! plus the twists are predictable as well. Please leave this one where it belongs collecting dust on the shelves, as even die hard Norris fans will probably be disappointed in this, plus the ending was quite lame as well. This is a pretty boring Chuck Norris flick, that's quite boring to watch, with hardly any martial arts action, and a dull story, Pass on this one. The Direction is lackluster. Ted Post does a lackluster job here, with OK camera work, and keeping the film at a very dull pace. The Acting isn't much better. Chuck Norris is not at his best here, he is just going with the motions, and was pretty wooden in some scenes, there were a couple scenes when he was exciting to watch, and did his best with what he was given, which was simply crap (Norris Rules!!). Anne Archer is absolutely wasted here, she looks good, but her character wasn't that interesting and she had no chemistry with Norris. James Franciscus is terrible as the main villain, he looked rather bored and wasn't menacing at all, in fact he hardly has any screen time. Lloyd Haynes is OK here as Murray, but acts with his cigar, he was adequate. Rest of the cast are not that good. Overall Pass. *1/2 out of 5

This movie is one of my first favorites. Here you have Chuck Norris, a real karate champion, plays John Booker, a war vet who is trying to find out why his comrades are being bumped off. Whoever's doing it is in big trouble. You don't mess with BOOKER! NO NOT EVER!! Many made a big mistake and it cost their own lives in the process. First, one person gets shot during skiing and Booker did the flying side kick to the Booker's assailant's wife. The major assailant put a bomb on the plane that killed his girlfriend after takeoff. And he used that ski pole to attack Booker which was no use to stop him. Then my favorite scene of all is where the same guy whose wife was taken out, gets into the Toyota Celica, and tried to run over Booker. In which he returns delivers the awesome flying dropkick to the windshield killing him. I later found out that the stunt was done by his brother Aaron. Doesn't really matter I enjoyed it all the away. Chuck Norris is the reason I got into the martial arts, and I would like to thank him all the way. He is my idol! 3.5 out of 5 stars.

This is pretty good movie. Chuck Norris was good. The fighting scenes were good especially the one when Norris kicks through the car window! The war scenes near the beginning was awesome! The music was really different. This was one of Chuck's first movies and its a good one!
