Review: 
Arnold Schwarzenegger stars as Commando...a former Commando who has now retired to pet deer and lick ice cream with his daughter (played by a young Alyssa Milano).  Some army men show up and want Arnold to help since his former Army buddies are being bumped off one by one but he won't budge.  That is until the bad guys come swooping in and abduct his daughter...then he has no choice but to co-operate!  The only problem is they want to force him to kill the President!  It's filled with amusing one-liners, violence and trickery...all the good stuff that action movies are made up of.  Satisfying though silly in many places, this is one to watch when you don't feel like thinking...just watching stuff blow up.

Availability:  On Blu-Ray & DVD
