Action films don't impress me much. They're extremely boring, anticlimactic, unsatisfying, and for the most part bad films. Do the plots in these films actually matter? Probably not. These films have outlandish or undeveloped storylines that take a backseat to action sequences that involve the hero of the film being a one man army taking down countless "bad guys." It's an excuse for violence from men with too much testosterone and roid rage that appeals to the adolescent moviegoer. Apart from a bad script, there are numerous horrible one-liners and bad acting. This is why "Die Hard" was such a great film, the hero of the film didn't look like everyone who came into his way was doomed. But in "Commando," Arnold Schwarzenegger's character John Matrix is no match for the countless obstacles that are preventing him from saving his kidnapped daughter, played by a young Alyssa Milano. Matrix is a former member of a special forces unit. His daughter is kidnapped and he is blackmailed by a former Latin American dictator named Arius (played by Dan Hedaya who is probably better remembered by American audiences as Nick Tortelli on "Cheers"). Arius wants him to commit a political assassination so he can lead a military coup. So, that's it, that's why he was abducted and his daughter was kidnapped. Matrix is able to escape and with the help of a woman he kidnaps named Cindy, played by Rae Dawn Chong, he is able to track Jenny down to a little island off the coast of Santa Barbara, California. And how that's possible is beyond me, and again, does it matter? Schwarzenegger is a likeable guy. We want to root for him but does he really need us to root for him? As the audience, we know he's going to come out alright and that the "bad guys" never have good aim even when he's right in front of them.
