Editorial Review: Description: In this early action classic that features his unique blend of thrills and offbeat humor, Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Col. John Matrix, ultimate soldier and one-man army. Matrix, the former leader of a special commando strike force that always got the toughest jobs done, is forced back into action when his young daughter (Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped. To find her, Matrix has to fight his way through an array of punks, killers, one of his former commandos, and a fully equipped private army. With the help of a feisty stewardess (Rae Dawn Chong) and an old friend, Matrix has only a few hours to overcome his greatest challenge: finding his daughter before she's killed. Amazon.com: A massively underrated action thriller that kept Arnold Schwarzenegger occupied between mid-'80s blockbusters, Commando may be one of the last shoot-out films ever to have real characters in it. Not, of course, that they're anything other than stereotypes, but they're painted with such detailed, positive strokes that it's impossible not to relate to them. Arnie plays a retired military special-ops officer whose daughter (played with an expert balance of cute/feisty by Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped by the baddest of bad guys, who'll only hand her back as and when he's assassinated a tiresome banana-republic president on their behalf. Needless to say, Arnie is deeply annoyed by this, rescues the moppet single-handed amid more bullets and explosions than you can shake a stuntman's pay cheque at, and... well, why spoil the fun by revealing any more? Co-star Rae Dawn Chong gets some nice one-liners as the innocent bystander who gets caught up in the mayhem. --Roger Thomas Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great "Guy" GiftThis is definitely a "guy" movie. I bought this as a gift for my boyfriend's birthday, and he absolutely loved it! Rating:  - Arnold at his bestThis is the ultimate action movie that defines the genre. If you are looking for explosions, gunfire, and hilarious one-liners, then this is the right movie for you. Commando came before Predator, and many elements of Predator probably derived from the success of this movie. Additionally, the extra features are pretty cool to watch. In one bit, some of the actors reflect on the movie many years after its production, and the director and producer talk about the inspiration behind making ...

Arnie is perfect as a one man army in this nun blasting piece of action cinema. It's daft but superb fun. Rating: - "Any carry-on luggage?"Just him."Commando was released the year after I was born, but I've never seen it up until now. But I've heard absolutely loads about it. There are some people out there, who visit Bennett forums, and can quote every line in the film constantly. Every day in fact. It's getting to the point where I can finish the quotes. And I don't want to be that sad. But I still hadn't seen the movie. Until he got the blu ray. There's not much of a storyline to Commando. It's your typical Arnie fare, with plenty of ...
