Amazon.com:
A massively underrated action thriller that kept Arnold Schwarzenegger occupied between mid-'80s blockbusters, Commando may be one of the last shoot-out films ever to have real characters in it. Not, of course, that they're anything other than stereotypes, but they're painted with such detailed, positive strokes that it's impossible not to relate to them. Arnie plays a retired military special-ops officer whose daughter (played with an expert balance of cute/feisty by Alyssa Milano) is kidnapped by the baddest of bad guys, who'll only hand her back as and when he's assassinated a tiresome banana-republic president on their behalf. Needless to say, Arnie is deeply annoyed by this, rescues the moppet single-handed amid more bullets and explosions than you can shake a stuntman's pay cheque at, and... well, why spoil the fun by revealing any more? Co-star Rae Dawn Chong gets some nice one-liners as the innocent bystander who gets caught up in the mayhem. --Roger Thomas

Rating:  - "Any carry-on luggage?"Just him."
Commando was released the year after I was born, but I've never seen it up until now. But I've heard absolutely loads about it. There are some people out there, who visit Bennett forums, and can quote every line in the film constantly. Every day in fact. It's getting to the point where I can finish the quotes. And I don't want to be that sad. But I still hadn't seen the movie. Until he got the blu ray.
There's not much of a storyline to Commando. It's your typical Arnie fare, with plenty ... Read More
Rating:  - Good Movie
This is a good action movie. The acting is sub-par but who cares. It's about 90 minutes of Arnold getting his daughter back. It's a must see for any Arnold fan.
Rating: - He's back,with a little more front
Now i was a big fan of Arnold back in the day.so when i saw this i had to buy it.it holds up pretty well.the new 5.1 surround is good but the picture looks like its just been transfered straight from the video.as for the extra footage in the directors cut its not much to get excited about.most notable is the tool shed scene which has been fully restored.the original theatrical release is in there to so with the audio commentry and behind the scenes stuff to its just about worth it.
Rating:  - The greatest action movie ever
More than 20 years after it's original release, Commando remains the "magnum opus" in the action movie genre. Fantastic scenes, brilliant one-liners, a top villain, and what is perhaps the most exaggerated finale ever, where Colonel John Matrix puts an end to the lives of nearly a 100 opponents. This long awaited for Special Edition will please everyone: there are additional scenes, a great image gallery, some interviews and funny backstage scenes.
I recomment this film, entertainment at ... Read More
Rating: - FINALLY
This edition is the DVD they should of released years ago ! It contains more gore and loads of special features which show Arnolds charismatic personality.
One problem i had with the DVD was that i would of really appreciated if they tried and fixed up some of the errors (like the big shoot out at the end you see people jumping off springboards EVERY time a grenade is thrown, plus when building explode you can see that the bad guys are just scarecrow looking figures that are being held up ...
