In this edge-of-your-seat crime thriller starring Michael Jai White and Mickey Rourke, an elite DEA agent (White) returns home after a failed mission when his family makes an unexpected discovery in their house -- a stash of money worth $3 million. They soon face the danger and threat of a newly released criminal (Rourke) and his crew who will do whatever it takes to retrieve the money -- including kidnap the agent's daughters. Stakes are high and lives are at risk in this head-to-head battle as the agent stops at nothing to protect his family against the money-hungry criminals.

New York Times

A spectacularly atrocious, ostensible action thriller, "The Commando" is distinguished by an incompetence that extends even to locations.

Rene Rodriguez

Variety

A talky and lethargic home-invasion thriller, The Commando amounts to an inept crime drama stuffed with banal dialogue and irrelevant supporting characters to pad its feature-length running time.

The Commando contains a number of egregious implausibilities and cliches.

Rated: 1/5

Director Asif Akbar puts a lot of faith in our desire to see James and Johnny finally square off, but I must confess that if I wasn't professionally obligated to sit through a film until the credits, I probably wouldn't have bothered.

Rated: 1/5

Hard to understand why this movie was made I was in a generous mood so have it one star. Perhaps watch for the laughs?

Filme ruim demais, nem consigo assistir até o final. Primeiro temos figurantes que são ruins demais que não conseguem se quer segurar um rifle (arco inicial). Depois o elenco é feio demais, de doer. Daí depois tem o conflito do personagem central com o trauma e com a arma, nisso foi muito proposital (lacração). Depois temos a má interpretação dos atores. Depois temos um roteiro clichê. Desisto.

Oh my. Not as bad a few select movies over the years, but insanely bad story line with characters that have no passion or logic. The savior comes in and does some of the stupidest stuff, if his family actually were at risk. Mickey Rourke shoudn't be allowed in another movie.
