"So bad, it's good"
7 July 2003
Warning: Spoilers
Chuck plays a secret service agent alongside his son, Eric, who also directed. This "film" is so filled with stereotypical bad guy Middle Eastern terrorists and the arch villan is so "over the top" it can actually be quite hilarious. It also includes more blatantly ripped off action sequences of the ridiculous and trendy new "matrix style" slow motion and impossible acrobatic moves than any film to date... again these are just so obviously ripped off and unoriginal and fake...its actually quite hilarious.

SPOILER WARNING: The story (surprise)revolves around Chuck stopping a nuclear bomb from going off in D.C... The movie climaxes.... (surprise) with a one on one fight to the death with the arch villan. Of course, each of the main characters...like Chuck's son and the "tough good girl" get their own one on one fight scenes with their respective bad guy/bad girl counterparts at the end as well. The Eric Norris's fight is especially funny. And of course, the bad guys die in spectacular fashion.

The gun play and fight scenes and the way the bad guys get killed are so cheesy it's actually hilarious. There are also a bunch of priceless special effect snafu's like where the gun sounds are completely out of sync...or you can see the out of place padding the stuntmen land on. In addition, the story is such a "cookie cutter action movie with the good guys trying to defuse a bomb in time" that I can't think of a more predictable film. Nevertheless, If your the sort who can sit through other Chuck Norris movies like, "Invasion USA" , "Delta Force" or the classic "M.I.A." series just for the laugh factor then this movie is highly entertaining. In fact, it's probably the funniest yet!Again, I highly recommend watching this movie if your the sort that can laugh at stuff like this.
