This incredibly formulaic flick from the "Walker, Texas Ranger" squad contains some of the most unbelievable scenes ever witnessed within a TV movie. In addition, one can pretty much predict the outcome from the get-go. However, it's a fun little movie that gets the job done: it entertains. That's all it was meant to do and it does so. The stunts and explosions are fun and exciting and the plot isn't half bad. The acting is also decent, which isn't much of a surprise, because everyone knows that Chuck Norris is no Steven Seagal. If you're a fan of the genre (and of "Walker, Texas Ranger"), you will definitely love this. If not, then don't waste your time. 8/10

Chuck plays a secret service agent alongside his son, Eric, who also directed. This "film" is so filled with stereotypical bad guy Middle Eastern terrorists and the arch villan is so "over the top" it can actually be quite hilarious. It also includes more blatantly ripped off action sequences of the ridiculous and trendy new "matrix style" slow motion and impossible acrobatic moves than any film to date... again these are just so obviously ripped off and unoriginal and fake...its actually quite hilarious.SPOILER WARNING: The story (surprise)revolves around Chuck stopping a nuclear bomb from going off in D.C... The movie climaxes.... (surprise) with a one on one fight to the death with the arch villan. Of course, each of the main characters...like Chuck's son and the "tough good girl" get their own one on one fight scenes with their respective bad guy/bad girl counterparts at the end as well. The Eric Norris's fight is especially funny. And of course, the bad guys die in spectacular fashion.The gun play and fight scenes and the way the bad guys get killed are so cheesy it's actually hilarious. There are also a bunch of priceless special effect snafu's like where the gun sounds are completely out of sync...or you can see the out of place padding the stuntmen land on. In addition, the story is such a "cookie cutter action movie with the good guys trying to defuse a bomb in time" that I can't think of a more predictable film. Nevertheless, If your the sort who can sit through other Chuck Norris movies like, "Invasion USA" , "Delta Force" or the classic "M.I.A." series just for the laugh factor then this movie is highly entertaining. In fact, it's probably the funniest yet!Again, I highly recommend watching this movie if your the sort that can laugh at stuff like this.

Oh dear, Oh dear. I started watching this not knowing what to expect. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There were times when I thought it was a comedy. I loved how the government's plan to capture the terrorist leader is to air drop in one man, who is unarmed, and expect him to capture him and escape with a rocket pack. If only it were really that easy. I've finally found a movie worse than "Plan 9 From Outer Space".

I've always enjoyed seeing Chuck Norris in film. Although the acting may not be superb, the fight scenes are fantastic. I also enjoyed seeing Judson Mills perform along side him. In my opinion, the Norris Brothers have proven themselves to be fine entertainers and this was yet another fine production! I hope you take the time to view this movie!
