Rated:R
Released: 2013
Starring: Arnold Schwarzenegger, Johnny Knoxville, Forest Whitaker
Format Watched in: Theater
With the exception of Collateral Damage I have seen every single Schwarzenegger movie. Commando was my absolute favorite movie as a kid thanks in part to "the machine gun dance", Arnold taking an saw blade to a dude's head, and a young Alyssa Milano. With that bit of knowledge you can imagine how excited I was to hear that Arnold was returning to beating people to death. I was counting down the days until this movie came out. And let me just tell you that it does NOT disappoint. Are there absurd parts that don't make the slightest bit of sense? Of course. Does it make a LICK of sense that Arnold with his thick Austrian accent would be a sheriff in a small border town in Arizona? NOPE. Does any of that matter? NOPE. This movie exists entirely to boost testosterone and entertain, and it does both. I can't find a negative in this movie because it embraced all of them with a wink and a nod. This movie knows exactly what it is and is excited to show you. This movie is the absolute epitome of a movie where shutting off your brain is a prerequisite.
Rating: A
