At first view, I must say I was disappointed at this one. It wasn't because of the quality. I was expecting much more action. Competing with the Rambo First Blood 2 film at the same time, this one comes up of course, much more realistic. Norris plays legendary Colonel Braddock who works with government officials, as being informed, MIA's are still out there. He enlists his old friends help, a likable aging codger, Tuck (M Emmet Walsh- Blood Simple) and the two go back to the jungle to free the MIA'S. Of course sounding Ramboish, this film, surprisingly takes itself really seriously, while not always being exciting, but what formulates is not a bad quality pick drama, with some naked titties, an asset at least. Too the film really works the government side of it, Norris remembering one now Asian official, as an old torture which is the standout moment of this film. Although I must say I'm not in love with this film, it is worth a watch, not just for Norris fans. Also it's good to see where the series started, although that trashy second one was a prequel, which makes this MIA quality stuff, but just happened to disappoint in the action quota, mostly until the trip back to those diseased charlie filled jungles.
