 | Commando (Director's Cut) - DVD Review By: Franck Tabouring - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 9/24/2007 10:24 PM | | Commando is a great action film for so many reasons. One of course, is Arnold Schwarzenegger, who back in the 80's was celebrating the start of a glorious career as an action icon. He wonderfully masters his role as the tough colonel nobody should want to mess with, delivers compelling stunts, and most importantly, generates big laughs with some of the most hilarious one-liners in the history of over-the-top action extravaganzas. ...read the full review |

"...Chong lights up the film like a firefly, Schwarzenegger delivers a certain light touch of his own..." 10/09/1985Ultimate DVD
4 stars out of 5 -- "[T]he kind of cinema only the Eighties can provide....COMMANDO makes no apologies for what it is -- man-tastic action." 05/01/2008 p.76 Variety 8 of 10
In Commando, the fetching surprise is the glancing humor between the quixotic and larky Rae Dawn Chong and the straight-faced killing machine of Arnold Schwarzenegger. Chong lights up the film like a firefly, Schwarzenegger delivers a certain light touch of his own, the result is palatable action comics...Credit Lester with chiseling the quick, subtly romantic byplay between the two stars - unlikely mates thrown together in pursuit of a deadly Latin neo-dictator - and pulling off a terrific series of tracking shots during a riotous chase in a crowded galleria complex.
