Editorial Review: Description: American servicemen are still being held captive in Vietnamand it's up to one man to bring them home in this blistering, fast-paced action/adventure starring martial arts superstar Chuck Norris.Following a daring escape from a Vietnamese POW camp, Special Forces Colonel James Braddock (Norris) is on a mission to locate and save remaining MIAs. Aided by a beautiful State Department official (Lenore Kasdorf) and a former Army buddy (M. Emmet Walsh), Braddock amasses top secret information and state-of-the-art weaponry. Now this one-man army is prepared to blast his way into Vietnam but will he be able to blast his way back out? Amazon.com: Through the idyllic but war-ridden jungles of Vietnam strides Chuck Norris as Braddock, one-man army, killing the enemy in droves with every gun burst, hauling wounded buddies to safety draped across his shoulders like sacks of wheat. He doesn't wear a helmet because clearly his head is not a particularly vulnerable area. As he leaps upon a vicious Vietcong who's brutally bayoneting a buddy of Braddock's, he plucks the rings from two hand grenades--and wakes from a recurring nightmare. Haunted by his memories, Braddock joins a delegation sent to Vietnam to negotiate for the return of missing-in-action prisoners of war (hence the movie's title, Missing in Action). But when the communist government accuses Braddock of war crimes, he fights back! It's all pretty preposterous--particularly the subtler absurdities, like when Braddock dresses entirely in stealthy ninjalike black except for his head, allowing his feathered blond locks to fly free--but fans of this kind of jingoistic action flick will find it satisfying enough. The fight scenes are frequent, if not particularly imaginative. Also featuring the great character actor M. Emmet Walsh as an old army buddy who helps Braddock out when the going gets tough. --Bret Fetzer Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - nothing seemed real about it. It might have been a fairly good movie if the kids mother wasn't killed so soon. Rating: - A heavily biased reviewTo be truthful, if it were any other person as the star, I'd probably give this no stars. But still, I have a special place in my heart for Chuck Norris. Most people know going into a movie like this that it is not driven by brilliant story telling. You want a fun movie where the hero kicks butt and takes names. Well, it takes a while before Chuck does those things. For me, its a let down because when he DOES serve up justice, its almost entirely with guns and explosives. This from the 6 time ... Read More Rating: - Loosing A GripThe only bad thing to come out of Bruce Lee's career is Chuck Norris. Lee was Asian and middle-America (i.e. rednecks) couldn't accept that at first. But they sure love fighting and a** kickin'. Enter Chuck Norris, a man half as skilled as Lee, but white. "Missing in Action" is garbage and so is your mind if you like it. ZERO stars. Rating: - Far Too Many People Have Reviewed ThisWow, seriously, way too many reviews of this film. Does Missing In Action really need over 28 reviews? There's really nothing I could add. Three stars. Rating: - Ground ChuckA one star for some movies means that it really sucks. But one star for a Chuck Norris movie, this Chuck Norris movie, means that it is one of his better ones. I thought Missing in Action was a pretty entertaining 80's action movie. Sure it is crap but it is fun and exciting. Chuck is a horrible actor and has never gotten better but this movie is not a bad flick. Compared to some of his movies this is a 5 star. Compared to other movies... it is a one star.
