J.J. McQuade is the roughest, toughest, manliest, most badass Texas Ranger in the history of rough, tough, manly, badass Texas Rangers. His latest case of beating up anyone involved with a gun smuggler (or is that "investigating a gun smuggler?" Whatever.) falls under FBI jurisdiction, but that doesn't stop McQuade from serving up a little Texas Justice.
The movie succeeds at what it strives to do, because of its tongue-in-cheek tone. When Chuck Norris tries to deliver a "serious" action movie with political thriller aspects and drama (Delta Force, Invasion USA) it just doesn't work. In fact, it fails miserably, but at least it leaves you laughing. With "Lone Wolf McQuade" Chuck Norris gives his fans exactly what they are looking for.
The action scenes are lively and well done. The story is just what you want from a no-brainer action flick like this. There is a limited amount of dramatic cheese. And the score is really good, more of a western score than action movie score, but then again, this is Texas. --- 6/10
Rated PG, positively absurdly, for violence and profanity. Not recommended for viewers under 13.
