There is no denying that this is an awful film, that works more like an 80s propaganda video for American military and contains simplistic Middle Eastern politics, the worst stereotypes possible and gung-ho patriotism that you would come to expect from of a film like this. The film gets much sillier and cheesier, and perversely much better as a result, towards the end, but this is at best a guilty pleasure for an audience brought up on a slew of 80s action films in their youth. It does have a cheesy score that is very difficult to get out of your head though.

This is a decent Chuck Norris movie that I always catch on TV. Maybe I should buy the DVD from Amazon so I wouldn't have to watch the sad juxtaposition of ass-kicking for the young audience interrupted by ads for the old & drunk (e.g. A Place For Mom, Addiction Recovery) to imply TV just airs nothing for a fickle young audience who holds their liquor who can watch something at their will.

The reviews are trying to tell me this wasn't good, but they can suck it. This movie is a blast. Marvin is kinda sleepwalking through it, but I think it's one of Norris's best. It's got an awesome score too.

Death didn’t take Chuck Norris. Chuck Norris allowed it. RIP Chuck, Lee, George, Robert, Steve — heroes of my childhood.

A Chuck Norris classic. Don’t think too much about the details of the plot. For fans of the man.
