Commando (1985)
7/10
Brilliantly entertaining 80s cheese
1 May 2024
Commando is a brilliantly entertaining display of unadulterated 80's macho cheese.

From a story perspective this film is incredible simplistic but that's not necessarily a bad thing. It wastes no time getting going and keeps a really good propulsive momentum throughout. There's very little in this film that is surplus to requirements.

The acting is all incredibly cheesy, but this is one of the best things about the film. Schwarzenegger is hilarious with his deadpan delivery of absolutely absurd dialogue.

The action is wildly entertaining with some truly insane set pieces, particularly from Arnie and his feats of strength, almost walking around like the terminator.

Really there isn't much to complain about with this film. It has no airs and graces and does what it says on the tin. It is Arnie in a tongue in cheek explosive cheese fest. A real treat!
