[A] terrific premise but no script.

"Invasion USA" might actually be fun in a campy way if it weren't so dourly exploitative.

A brainless plot would be almost forgiveable were it not for the perverse depiction of innocents butchered in Invasion U.S.A.

Enough carnage here to satisfy hard-core Norrisphiles.

4/5

Years later, Chuck Norris would say that the film's alarmist tactics were probably too much. Four decades later, its maximalist action scenario on a terrorist incursion into the United States feels like quaint, delightful and oh-so-very-dumb kitsch.

There's Norris with guns and a growl, mobs of enemies, and locations to blow up. And yet, "Invasion U.S.A." feels too leisurely at times, only occasionally working up the energy to sell the central idea of home defense.

There's not much to say except Gun's Gun's Gun's!! This is what missing in action should've been. I was invested the whole way through this movie. Non stop explosions and norris kicking ass is what I like. Of course there's beautiful women and the action sequence where a woman is riding on the outside of the truck during a chase was well done.

Basically, TEAM AMERICA jingoism without the irony Invasion U.S.A. (1985) *** A dumb but entertaining explosion-filled Cannon action flick with strong villains and effects, basically Team America–style jingoism played completely straight. SEE LETTERBOXED FOR FULL REVIEW.

This is easily one Chuck Norris's most recognised movies from the 80's. We've established that with the poster. Back in the day, it was somewhat shocking due to the violence, if I remember correctly. It was looked upon as a bit more adult, or nastier, than other similar action flicks from other stars of the genre. Rewatching now, the violence is still quite nasty in a moral sense, not so much visually. But as for everything else, on the whole, this movie is actually pretty poor frankly. The story is just total nonsense, laden with plot conveniences, goofy action, and a main villain who is so evil that he actually killed Billy Drago in the first ten minutes! You can't do that!

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom
