He rips car seats and chain locks, tosses guys in closets, and falls from planes. We’ll get to some of his moves, lines, and kills, but know this–no one has a laser focus like John Matrix. Matrix goes from nice guy, wondering why they don’t just call him “Girl George,” to murder machine with one goal–save Jenny. Can a tough guy be made more adorable? No. Ice cream on the nose, splashing in the pool, feeding deer. The string section kicks in and the montage switches to Matrix and Jenny having daddy/daughter day. Suddenly, a shadow appears from behind creeping toward him. Next, Matrix lines up a log to cleave with a shiny axe. The camera cuts between closeups of his boots, his biceps, and the enormous tree trunk he carries on his shoulder. He’s busy cutting trees into firewood on a sunny afternoon. (And what a score.) Matrix lives in the hills in a cabin he might have built himself.

The movie introduces our hero through scored montage. Hero (8/10)īoots, biceps, logs: That is our visual introduction to Commando John Matrix. ONE SENTENCE PLOT SUMMARY: All that matters to John Matrix now is his daughter, Jenny. More stunt people are credited than actors. Considering the tremendous amount of stunt work, that’s amazing. You probably forgot that Bill Paxton and Alyssa Milano appeared in this movie, but you shouldn’t have. On second thought, don’t forgive yourself, because Commando is an essential action movie, if not a classic. Those films were sandwiched between The Terminator and Predator, easily two of the finest action movies in history. Arnold Schwarzenegger was a worldwide sensation by 1985, but forgive yourself for ignoring the minor slump of Red Sonja, Raw Deal, and Commando.
