What It Is: Carl Weathers starring in his very own '80s action flick.Why I Watched It: I've heard the name mentioned in action fan circles and was in the mood for an '80s movie.
What I Thought: Action Jackson was really good! It was everything I love about Commando, Die Hard, and all the other action movies from the '80s that were high on explosions and low on plot.
Carl Weathers was simply amazing. Why this guy never became a leading man is beyond me. He had the physical presence (i.e. bulky manliness), the pretty face, the attitude, and the cocky dialogue to make the perfect action star. Complementing Weathers' performance, he was backed up by a who's who of classic supporting actors including not one, but TWO Predator costars!
Adding to these performances was a healthy dose of gunplay, ass kicking, and fireballs. Many, many, fireballs. Usually centered on some unfortunate bastard. What more does a classic action movie need? Nothing!
Highlights: TWO costars from Predator, fireballs, witty/cocky dialogue, random bodyguard saviors, a sweet Impala, and Fabio's ninja brother!
Who Should See It: Action fans and Carl Weathers fans.
How Soon: Whenever you need a good action flick like only the '80s could make!
