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.

Glenn Kenny New York Times A spectacularly atrocious, ostensible action thriller, "The Commando" is distinguished by an incompetence that extends even to locations. Jan 12, 2022 Full Review 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. Jan 6, 2022 Full Review Leslie Felperin Guardian The Commando contains a number of egregious implausibilities and cliches. Rated: 1/5 Jan 4, 2022 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut 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 Jan 8, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

MB B None of these actors could act their way out of a paper bag Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/10/23 Full Review B D Hard to understand why this movie was made I was in a generous mood so have it one star. Perhaps watch for the laughs? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 09/27/23 Full Review Bruno V 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/12/23 Full Review brandon s Witness the resurrection of Mickey Rourke in this epic movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review david o Just terrible...not much to say.... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d A lot of ideas most of them stolen. None that are good.
