Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune [A] terrific premise but no script. Feb 28, 2019 Full Review Paul Attanasio Washington Post "Invasion USA" might actually be fun in a campy way if it weren't so dourly exploitative. Jan 4, 2018 Full Review Variety Staff Variety A brainless plot would be almost forgiveable were it not for the perverse depiction of innocents butchered in Invasion U.S.A. Mar 26, 2009 Full Review Sean Collier Box Office Prophets There are some sufficiently large explosions and acceptable preposterous setups, but ... I'm not sure Invasion U.S.A. is worth tracking down. Rated: 4/10 Mar 25, 2019 Full Review TV Guide Staff TV Guide A numbingly stupid actioner, INVASION U.S.A. has one of the most laughable villains ever committed to film. Rated: 2/5 Feb 28, 2019 Full Review People Staff People Magazine Director Joseph Zito has in fact made both good and bad guys equally one- dimensional and unlikable.

Carson P Its easy for critics and film communists to mock This film as mindless nonsense with no real plot or logic to it but somehow I enjoy it I don’t know why but I just do it’s probably because of the scenes where norris fights the terrorists with to unusual guns and in an outfit that looks as if he is trying to be a potential action star there are amusing moments including lines he delivers like when he brings back a bomb that was to blow up a school bus to the terrorists and when he fixes a bomb that failed to explode just to throw it back at them and when he is involved with them yess speaking in a critical sense he phones in with acting since he whispers much of the time but he only shines when he is fighting. I honestly have three different ways to rate this moment on an enjoyment level just for those moments and set pieces it’s a 7 but in terms of story, charachters, dialogue, thought, meaning and overall quality it’s a 2-3 it’s worth watching for those who like mindless films without thinking and to have fun with knowing it’s bad considering how it was dismissed by critics both now and at the time it came out of course there’s no real story to it that it’s just terrorists attacking and a hero is to stop them no buildup or anything resembling nuance here it’s just mindless action through and through I reccomend anyone to watch it at risk only for those moments of norris fighting but be prepared to first sit through the nonsense acts to get there overall my rating is a 5 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/03/25 Full Review Wendel L Direção: OK Atuação: Ok Roteiro: Ruim Caracterização: Ok Soundtrack: Ruim Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/20/24 Full Review Jonathan O Invasion usa is the og of Civil War but with Chuck Norris and this action film is violent and entertaining action thriller if you wanna see Chuck Norris saving the world on Christmas holiday this one is for all Chuck Norris fans and even for memes and really incredible special make-up effects by KNB and Tom Savini who've work together in Day of the Dead did amazing work and fantastic stunts work but the script is not perfect it makes no sense to the characters and the story but Chuck Norris saves the day. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/13/24 Full Review mark g I'm torn over this one. I mean, it is truly a horrible film. Terrible acting, script, action, premise...awful. HOWEVER, it's so bad, it has a campy entertainment value to it. But that was not intended, so one star. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review Liam D The first movie that comes to mind when talking about both 80s action movies and Cannon (The Last American Virgin, Shy People) it’s an laughable bad thriller that has mediocre direction by Joseph Zito (The Prowler) and proves that Chuck Norris (Silent Rage) both cannot act or write an good screenplay Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/24 Full Review David W Very much a mid eighties, Reagan era one man army movie (co-written by star Chuck Norris) which wears it's zenophobic politics on both sleives but politics aside I enjoyed this America can do no wrong action flick. Director Zito who also did Missing in Action with Chuck and latterly Red Scorpion with big Dolph Lundgren knows how to handle the action as does the main man Norris. There's some gloriously great eighties style lines, the indestructible Norris in double denim, a totally over the top villain (who hatches the worst planned invasion in history) in Richard Lynch and lots of explosive set pieces which should keep afficionados royally entertained and horrify the woke. Patriotic to a fault, 80's American action cinema with all that entails socially and politically for sure but I still very much enjoyed this unapologetically jingoistic venting from Chuck. Denim with denim with mullet and beard in both look and over the top tone. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/18/23 Full Review Read all reviews
