Alicia I love this movie so much
Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Steineded How sad is this?
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
actionpro This incredibly formulaic flick from the "Walker, Texas Ranger" squad contains some of the most unbelievable scenes ever witnessed within a TV movie. In addition, one can pretty much predict the outcome from the get-go. However, it's a fun little movie that gets the job done: it entertains. That's all it was meant to do and it does so. The stunts and explosions are fun and exciting and the plot isn't half bad. The acting is also decent, which isn't much of a surprise, because everyone knows that Chuck Norris is no Steven Seagal. If you're a fan of the genre (and of "Walker, Texas Ranger"), you will definitely love this. If not, then don't waste your time. 8/10
Judsonfan There are a few spoilers in this comment!!Contrary to the comments I just read by nativetex4u and a few others, I really liked the movie and would love to see it as a weekly series.I am a Judson Mills fan but also a huge Chuck Norris fan and while I'll admit that a few of the action scenes may have stretched the line a little, the storyline fit right in with other weekly series that are currently being aired.The opening fifteen minutes with Deke running from the bad guys after blowing up their missiles was very action packed. I do fail to see how that many "professionals" weren't able to hit a moving target, but the action was definitely there and Deke, being the hero, had to survive.As for the comment about needing to "get the movie in the can to fill the time slot after the playoffs." This movie was not originally scheduled by CBS for a January airing and filming was completed in May of 2001, a good 4 months before the terrorist attacks against the U.S.If the writer of the comment had been paying attention to the movie instead of trying to avoid it, maybe they would have realized the plot of the story: Rashid, a Bin Laden like character, planned to set off a nuclear device in the United States. The President's Man was called in to locate and eliminate the problem.Perhaps the writer should actually WATCH the movie before attempting to comment on it.
rklamot Ooverall, the movie was fairly good, a good action plot with a fair amount of explosions and fight scenes, but Chuck Norris did hardly anything, except for disarm the bomb and shoot a few characters. The movie was very similar to the events of Sept. 11, with a bin laden-like terrorist sending a video to the president (Urich) and threatening to detonate it. Judson Mills had some superb action roles, taking out Rashid's compound and various kick-butt roles but, there was a lack of Chuck Norris. Judson took over most of the action, leaving Joshua (chuck) with Que on her computer. But, overall, it was realistic and didn't lack the action, but only did it on Mr. Norris' part. I gave the film 7/10.
nativetex4u You know, as much as I like Chuck Norris and the charity and motivational work he does, this made for TV movie really reeked of bad writing, directing and event action...I can tell as most here would agree that this "show" was made as cheaply as it could have been with a lot of high-tech archival footage from NASA, the U.S. military, and a few other sources like CNN and the like, for a current events style appearance to what has happened in this country over the last 6 months since September 11th...This show made no real point, it had unrealistic action, and it wasn't even really funny if they had tried to make it as such??? Who could tell that, unless they were part of the crew...I have to say that this also looked like they tried to get it "in the can" as soon as they could to release it to the network to "fill-in" some time slot after the playoff games, and even had to get the color announcer on the CBS affiliate to say something to the effect of: "I bet Chuck will kick some serious butt, tonight!" I knew from right there this was going to be really bad...So we went over to a friends house that evening hoping to avoid it after the game, but their kids got hooked into it...sigh...Too bad...But after watching it for a while, it got me to thinking "how bad could this really get...???"But that is why I had to post this...Anyone who sees this in the up coming years will know this to be true if you got hooked into it...Sorry, we couldn't warn you before hand...My advice to Chuck...Love your style man, but your programs really stink...If I were you, I'd drop those hack you work with, and get back to what you know about...Good luck!
