Steven Oxman Variety Thinking about it isn't really what a Chuck Norris movie is there for, of course -- it's escapist entertainment that makes no apologizes for its bad acting, reliance on explosions and general cheesy cheeriness. Nov 7, 2018 Full Review Read all reviews

Rick M Very good (overall) late Chuck Norris movie. I especially liked the fact that there was no lewdness, foul language, or depiction of lasciviousness, a rare quality in films these days. Thankyou Chuck and Ms Tung & co. A CLEAN and entertaining movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/23 Full Review christopher c. m This is literally the second movie in a month about Muslim terrorist planting a nuke somewhere in America. I'm thinking this was to fuel patriotism considering it came out a mere four months since 9/11 attacks. Doesn't make it any less racist or bigoted. Movies like this only caused more hate crimes on Arab Americans. But it's not bad enough to totally ruin the movie. It's basic but good. Fun action scenes and fights. A second pilot that never took off, if I'm right. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A great movie for Chuck Norris fans Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Ah, yes, another piece of much needed trashy entertainment. Dumb, ludicrous, tacky, made-for-TV nonsense...and you know what? I like it, as stupid as it is. Plus, it's a Chuck Norris film, and I've discovered so shortly into his filmography that it's really hard to hate one of his films. Instead of retiring, Joshua McCord is still an agent for the President, but so is Deke, who is still as cocky as ever and seems to be developing a crush for Joshua's daughter, Que, who still likes to give Deke a lot of crap for his cocky attitude. Now, the trio has a new threat to deal with, in the form of Middle Eastern terrorists who snuck in bomb parts hidden artifacts given to a museum, which were then promptly stolen from the artifacts. The group must take out the terrorist group and its leaders before a major city suffers a devastating attack. While the President's Man 2: A Line In The Sand wants to be timely (Especially after the events of 9/11), it's mostly cheesy nonsense, rather than being something profound. The plot is even hammier than the original film, but it fits the bill for this kind of film, and it works for that purpose for some nonsensical thriller elements. It's nothing you haven't seen before with all its elements, but it works in its purpose to be cheesy, trashy entertainment. Chuck Norris delivers a decent performance again, while everyone else is hammy, but they still seemed to be having fun with their ridiculous roles. Their performances were fun to watch, though they certainly aren't award-worthy. Once again, much like its predecessor, the real reason to watch this film is for the action sequences. There's still plenty of gun battles, explosions, martial arts battles, romance this time around, and more as a B-movie lover would want from this kind of film. If you enjoy watching cheesy Chuck Norris action films, this film will give you what you want. It's a B-movie lover's delight, but it won't please anyone else. Still, I had a lot of fun with this one, much like its predecessor. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Just as bad as the first,yet this one has a somewhat more interesting plot. The action scenes are slightly better but not by much, and chuck still makes pretty much a cameo in his own film. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member 52% "Death to American imperialism!"-Abdul Rashid (Joel Swetow) Chuck Norris is at peace with himself and in complete control as terrorism rages on around him in this half assed atempt of a made-for-TV piece of garbage.
