Commando, a review by addicted2dvd

Commando
In this early action classic that features his unique blend of thrills and offbeat humor, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER stars as retired Colonel John Matrix. The ex-head of a special commando strike team, he's forced back into action when his daughter (ALYSSA MILANO) is kidnapped. With the help of a feisty stewardess (RAE DAWN CHONG), Matrix has only a few hours to overcome his greatest challenge: finding his daughter before she gets killed.

My Thoughts:
I have some mixed feelings about this one. Yes I enjoyed it. Plenty of stuff being blown up... plenty of people getting killed. And it has a good story. Though I did find some of this stuff over the top... even for a movie like this. That is really not a bad thing... it is something I can enjoy... but I have seen better pure action movies then this one. Not to mention the fact that this movie has some very corny lines in it. It was almost like they were trying too hard to throw in some funny lines... and they just didn't work. I did think it was cool seeing a young Alyssa Milano (Charmed) again. The only extra on this DVD is the Trailer.

A good feel-good movie. And as I like Drew Barrymore rom-coms and also enjoy Hugh Grant's rom-coms, this was a no-brainer to get. This is the second time I have watched it, and I think this time around I enjoyed it even more than the first time. Hugh Grant is perfect as the has-been pop idol.
Drew Barrymore is as cute as she is always in romantic comedies.
