Story of the Commando 1985 movie: unraveling the Action and Legacy
Commando, directed by Mark L. Lester and penned by the talented trio of Jeph Loeb, Matthew Weisman, and Steven E. de Souza, boasts an ensemble cast featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rae Dawn Chong, Dan Hedaya, Vernon Wells, James Olson, David Patrick Kelly, Alyssa Milano, and Bill Duke. The film's musical score is crafted by James Horner, while the captivating cinematography is the work of Matthew F. Leonetti.
The story revolves around John Matrix (Schwarzenegger), a former leader of an elite commando strike force renowned for accomplishing the toughest missions. However, Matrix is reluctantly thrust back into action when his young daughter (Milano) is abducted by the notorious criminal kingpin Arius (Hedaya) and his gang of ruthless henchmen. They demand that Matrix carry out an assassination, but his sole focus is on saving his daughter, as he has a mere half-day to do so before the thugs execute her. Thus, it becomes a deeply personal and private war.
Following his iconic roles in "Conan" and "The Terminator," Schwarzenegger seamlessly transitions into a character that embodies the quintessential traits of his action movie career. "Commando" is an adrenaline-fueled spectacle replete with jaw-dropping action sequences, unbridled chaos, grisly confrontations, witty one-liners, and, of course, formidable antagonists.
With a runtime of just 90 minutes, the film is the epitome of a "leave your brain at the door" popcorn entertainer, designed to thrill audiences. Chong delivers a commendable performance in a well-crafted leading female role, portraying a spirited heroine who evolves amidst the escalating chaos. Young Milano, on the other hand, shines as a resourceful and resilient child character.
