“STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costsu003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe Presidentu0026#39;s Man.Invasion USA.Walker:Texas Ranger.Kick Drugs Out Of America…….maybe Chuck Norrisu0026#39; longitivity as a screen action hero would have extended further had he not pledged this rather off-putting u0026#39;I Love Americau0026#39;isms in all his work.Thereu0026#39;s nothing wrong with his proudness of his heritage,but expecting people from around the globe to invest into what is clearly labeled as Americau0026#39;s problem is perhapu0026#39;s going to be slightly controversial.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eInvasion USA itself spouts some new and original ideas for the genre,but letu0026#39;s itself down by how incoherently it is told.Norrisu0026#39; screen presense remains tightly wound throughout ,but he occupies suprisingly lesser time than one would have expected.The story of the Irab terrorist invasion of America is engaging,and the central villain is rather hissable as a guy who dosu0026#39;nt care who he hurts as long as he meets his narrow minded ideals.The action sequences,the end shootout especially,are also done very well.If only there wasu0026#39;nt such a patronising tone to it,and more of a consistent plotline to follow.Look out for an early ,low key appearance from Billy Drago in another Norris film.***”
