STRIKE COMMANDO

Cinemavixion Review

Bruno Mattei's 'Strike Commando' plunges viewers into the heart of a Vietnam War-era jungle, echoing the high-octane spirit of 'Rambo: First Blood Part II' and 'Missing in Action.' Reb Brown delivers a compelling performance as Sgt. Mike Ransom, a soldier thrust into a perilous mission fraught with danger from Vietcong forces, Soviet operatives, and even treachery within his own ranks. The film masterfully utilizes its Philippines jungle setting to create an atmosphere of constant tension and suspense. While inspired by genre titans, 'Strike Commando' carves out its own identity with its relentless pace and gritty action sequences. The plot, involving Ransom's capture and subsequent escape, is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit against overwhelming odds. For aficionados of 80s action cinema, this film offers a potent dose of adrenaline and a gripping narrative that solidifies Mattei's reputation as a purveyor of intense, B-movie thrills.
