VIDEO REVIEW NOW PLAYING POSTER

Chuck. Fuckin. Norris. He’s not dead, he’s just kicking some ass in Hades for awhile to work up some extra hit points.

There is an invasion. In the U.S.A.! Only one man can stop it. Literally. He is so bad-ass, he demands to work alone to take care of the invasion at hand. The grim close-up of his face convinces anyone who sees it that he ain’t lyin.

I was just going to leave the review at the first three words, but I didn’t want to cheat y’all. The plot? Ain’t much in order to stitch together a whole bunch of violent actions and fightings and shootins blowings up, plus a little driving in a construction zone. The plucky chick journalist who happens to show up everywhere? Kind of an ungrateful koont. It does show an interesting dichotomy between a flourishing capitalistic society and the crime-ridden streets, it’s a little odd, really. Except for kids actually playing in the streets. Interesting time capsule of a film, because you know what is always lurking? COMMIES! Fucking fuck you, Commies! Or...whatever these guys were. But they seem pretty...commie-ish. There is some fun reckless destructions here, so I’ll give it an extra beer for that.


Great Scene: That one with Chuck and his uncanny ability to be exactly where he needs to be.
