VICE PRESIDENT VALDEZ SAVES THE DAY.......2004-07-07

I think what's so surprisingly good about CHAIN OF COMMAND is its barefaced audacity to show us a pretty worthless president, and to allow awful things to happen because of personal greed and misguided justice. Roy Scheider plays the newly elected President, a man who is screwing his best friend's wife, and anything in skirts. Patrick Muldoon is a secret service agent who is tired of watching this skirt-chasing moron, so he transfers to the football division, which is the group of men who are sworn to protect the box that contains a nuclear device which can start world war. Michael Biehn, looking bored, still manages to ooze a certain erudite smarminess that works as a traitor, and director John Terlesky (a former actor of such films as DEATHMASTER 2) keeps the action frisky and at times unpredictable. The real coup though is the casting of the delightfully underappreciated Maria Conchita Alonso as the vice president who must make all the decisions once all hell breaks loose. She is brilliant in a role that could have been comic in the wrong hands. John Beck ( a former leading man THE OTHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT) is also quite good as the warhawk general.
Muldoon is appropriately heroic and his youthful good looks help in a convincing role. William R. Moses (FALCON CREST) also shows up in a surprisingly good performance.
CHAIN OF COMMAND pulls some surprises, and pulls no punches in its declaration against nuclear power. It's a corny, sometimes contrived movie, but it is also a frightening and evocative one. Don't laugh if off cause you haven't heard of it.

That being said, this movie is hilarious. Bring in some horrible actors (let's face it, boys and girls, a minor role on Saved by the Bell was probably Patrick Muldoon's best work), a ridiculous plot (I don't care what the details are, any movie in which Taiwan plans to take over China can't be taken seriously), and a laughable script, and you just might have something worth watching... once... okay, maybe twice. This movie joins the ranks of the Scorpion King, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and the entire genre of soft-core porn as things to be watched only for their mind-boggling (and truly entertaining) awfulness. You've been warned.

Chain of Command is an acceptable,delivering made-for-video action film.Once again,Roy Scheider plays the US president (in slimy mode here)and the plot is strangely more intricate and surprising than you might expect from such a film.Overall,this delivers the goods and is very watchable because of it.

This movie planned to be alot better to me. I really had a bad plotline. It almost seamed like it was never going to end.

Description

Lots of people stand between where Merrill Ross is and where he wants to go. A Death Squad blows an oil depot out from under him, agents shadow him like a poison cloud, soldiers rain a steel hail of bullets on him. Ross is the man in the middle of a savage international tug-of-war. His adversaries have taken their best shot. Now he's taking his. Michael Dudikoff (American Ninja, The Human Shield) plays antiterrorist operative Ross in this explosive saga of a plot to take over oil-rich Qumir. Behind the attempt could be the CIA, QLI, QSS or any number of groups known only by alphabetical shorthand and sudden force. But it's Ross who teaches them the ABCs of action!

DUDE-ikoff is back, but this time he ain't no ninja.......2005-09-19

For some reason I have to watch any movie that stars Michael DUDE-ikoff, especially if the film was produced by the notorious B-action Cannon Films corporation. This time the dude is in the middle east taking on terrorists and corrupt oil company big-wigs. At first glance this reminded my of the hilarious Steven Seagal film On Deadly Ground, but give me DUDE-ikoff anyday over Seagal.

This movie was made towards the end of the Cannon Films legacy and I don't think the company had a lot of money to spend, and it shows. The production values is of considerably less than their classic 80's films such as American Ninja and Invasion U.S.A., however it still comes off to be a fun NO-brain action flick with Dudikoff giving another hilarious, almost drugged performance. For fans of Cannon or B-Action flicks, this is a must. Just don't expect a steller presentation on DVD as the DVD is as basic as you can get. Full screen and NO special features.

Kill the writer!.......1999-08-16

Found only two things good about movie: 1) More lines for Michael Dudikoff=more chances to show he's a good actor (better than Jean-Claude). 2) Decent supporting cast. The writer should be shot. The only way to believe this garbage of a script is to be a 5 year old child. Too many action movie cliches. What was Ross' nemesis wearing? It looked like a wig. And yes, I'm sure everyone will believe that one man in the open can shoot all the personnel at the refinery with a few clips and an AK-47 while they shoot at him from cover and he doesn't even bother to duck (not that it matters, he doesn't get hit anyway). Bottom line: acting was great, script sucked so bad you'd have to be a moron to enjoy the movie. You can almost see the actors saying, "this script's the rough draft right?"

the story could have been better........1999-05-05

this film shows more of Michael Dudikoff's acting ability, but that's about it. and some of the humor was okay. someone should give Dudikoff a chance at A type movies.
