Gurlyndrobb While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Brooklynn There's a more than satisfactory amount of boom-boom in the movie's trim running time.
SnoopyStyle It's 1975 the fall of Saigon. Colonel James Braddock (Chuck Norris) is one of the last at the embassy. His apartment gets hit and he mistakenly assumes his wife Lin is killed. Lin arrives after her papers get stolen. Chaos ensues. Braddock gets shot and Lin is left behind. It's the present day and Rev. Polanski arrives from Vietnam with news that his wife is alive with his son. Little John from the CIA denies the story at first which only confirms it for Braddock. He goes to Bangkok but Little John tries to stop him. He manages to escape and Mik flies him away. He parachutes into Vietnam and finds an orphanage filled with American-Asian children left behind after the war. He tries to escape with his family but they are captured by Gen. Quoc.The problem is that Chuck Norris is always so sincere which doesn't fit the ridiculousness of the story. He never quite got the Rambo feel and his movies are never good enough to be realistic. This exists in the neverworld between good camp and good action. It fails as both. Norris is a horrible actor and the clunky dialog doesn't help any of the actors. The movie drags when it runs out of action. For too much of the movie, it really drags.
Marko Kovanen No point watching Missing In Action movies back to back. First two come in wrong order and last one has very little to do with first two. Similarities are Missing In Action in name, Chuck Norris, character name and movies happen in Vietnam. Whoever wrote this haven't seen first two movies.First we are hit fit fact that this is not sequel to earlier movies. Then we are hit with fact that that whoever wrote script takes pretty unbelievable way to start main story after introduction. Then Chuck hits and kicks bad guys in cool action scenes. Sound like brainless action piece. Until we get drama part and from that we get to series of boring action scenes with Chuck Norris not feeling like acting. During drama you wait action and during action you wait movie to end.Two points because there is one "I didn't see that coming" and couple nice action scenes at the beginning. Other than that there is not much to see.
kankawin25013 After I saw this movie. I accepted that this is an OK movie. Great action scene which can guarantee by Chuck Norris. However, drama in this movie is still too little. For my comment to actors, Aki Aleong's General Quoc was another heinous villain in my feeling. I believe many watcher want him to die quickly due to his cruel act (even Braddock or Van). Chuck Norris still show his character, "less talk, more fight" but his John Braddock's role should had more feeling with his son. Even Roland Harrah III did his good job as Van Tan Chang, but the plot made Van show his love to his dad in a very short time (probably last 10 minutes which ran so quickly). The plot should made the father and son talking more. Please remember, both of them didn't face each other for 12 years!!! In my opinion, this movie has a good action but imperfect drama. This movie has similar plot to the first Missing in Action, except the people who receive help by Braddock was now the American orphan children. (also Braddock's unexpected family as well) Althrough, the movie use many cruel scenes to shake watcher's conscience and make sympathy to good guys in the movie. I accepted that General Quoc's death in this movie was the same as many Cannon Film's movie which the main villain usually dead in easily way, make me unsatisfied with it. (due to I hate the character that show ruthlessness to women or children) However, without bias or some own feeling, I can admit this movie.
daniel-johansen-1 It is beyond my imagination how anyone with the slightest idea what a good movie is can enjoy this.Chuck returns to Vietnam to rescue his long lost wife and son. If you want to see nonstop action (extremely bad action that is) then you might enjoy this brain dead movie. Scene after scene, Chuck continues to kill, kill, kill, and not in a good way like in the Rambo movies, or other good action movies like Die Hard.I also got to point out Chuck's acting, when he sees his 12 year old son for the first time, he has no emotion, when his wife dies, he doesn't even shed a tear! Totally zombie.Avoid at all costs! 1/10
