Underwhelming and Unoriginal

I vaguely remember seeing fragments of this movie in my childhood (the shot of Arabs holding the helmet of a downed American pilot and the scene when Chuck Norris kicks the villain so hard he flies off), but only recently did I watch the whole thing. The movie follows the frequently reused plot about an evil terrorist threatening the world who gets captured, only to escape his captivity soon afterwards, after which he and the hero have a showdown in the middle of a city (as seen in the Dark Knight, the Avengers, Skyfall etc). This may seem like the plot of an action-packed blockbuster, but this is actually a very underwhelming movie with limited resources that manifest in its boring and short fight scenes. In the beginning of the movie, the villains seem like they have a huge army and minions all over the world at their disposal, but when the protagonists finally start fighting them, they are reduced to a few hapless henchmen lead by an old man. As a counterweight to this, the US government is also depicted as a bunch of incompetent fools who can't do a single thing right, so the 3 main heroes constantly have to fix their mistakes. There's a lot of boring filler scenes which lead nowhere, and the fight scenes are short and underwhelming, mostly consisting out of just a few kicks being exchanged and stuntmen jumping and falling randomly. To make matters worse, Chuck Norris has only 2 very short fight scenes in the whole movie, whereas Judson Mills has more screentime and is closer to a central protagonist. Jennifer Tung is wasted as she spends all the important scenes just sitting down and talking. I would recommend this movie only to hardcore Chuck Norris fans, and only when there is nothing better to watch.

Cookie cutter adventure - OK if you like this type of cookie

Pretty standard adventure fare. Religious fanatic terrorists plant nuclear device in American city. Chuck Norris and Judson Mills, as super secret special operatives reporting directly to the President, have to save the day. Lots of bad guys get beat up with Kung Fu moves; there is a bomb with a big red digital timer to defuse; bad guys get to fire thousands and thousands of rounds and continually miss the heroes. Hokey scene of Judson Mills training by dodging red balls blindfolded (remember Fred Ward as Remo Williams? Much better - if for no other reason than Joel Grey's crusty commentary). Still, if you like action movies where the good guy saves the day (hey, that is no spoiler, the good guy ALWAYS saves the day in this kind of movie) it is an OK way to spend a couple of mindless hours. Robert Uhrich, sporting a LOT more pounds than Spenser days, looks reasonably presidential. One other interesting point - I would presume this was filmed prior to 9/11 and the release was delayed - listen for comment on damage to the WTC, suggesting a small explosion, not the devastation that actually occurred.

This routine sequel is a typical Chuck Norris vehicle movie with lots of action

This The President's Man: A Line in the Sand (2002) turns out to be a sequel of The President's Man (2000) . At the beginning the new President's Man's Man rides a motorcycle over a green-screened fireball and drives past recycled footage from the first movie . Dealing with Robert Urich playing the new President who sends his right hand man McCord/Chuck Norris to take down a terrorist group . Norris is a U. S. president's highly classified secret agent who thinks it's time for him to retire and must find a fearless replacement to take over his extremely dangerous military missions . McCord has a daughter (Jennifer Tung) who is in charge of recruit's training and satellite's watching . When a band of Islamic of terrorists commits bloody acts , McCord goes into action and finds himself thrust head to the most dangerous assignments . Once he captures the terrorist leader , the no-good evil attempts to blow up Dallas . With the help of his trusty partner (Judson Mills) , Chuck sets out to save Dallas from total destruction. As they get a mission which has personal implications for Joshua . So they go , no mission is impossible.

This is a Chuck Norris recital , showing his portentous skills , containing action-packed , thrills , chases , fights , pursuits and loads of violence . Whereas the first flick got off to a strong start ; this follow-up goes off at the bottom of the barrel and slowly climbs its way upward . Chuck Norris along with Judson Mills demonstrate their qualities as action heroes on the fights against the largest-than-life enemies by means of punches , slaps , kicks , bounds and more leaps . Here Norris finds a strong colleague , Judson Mills , subsequently training him in all kinds of risked tests ; the problem is that the chosen one is a guy ever terrible , he somehow manages to have even less charisma than the other dude : Dylan Neal , who formerly held the role . I guess it wouldn't be so bad if Chuck had taken the reins and kicked some ass , in spite of it , Judson Mills also played a main role in ¨Walker Texas Rangers¨ along with Norris , the recently deceased Clarence Gilyard Jr. , Sheree J. Wilson and Nia Peeples . Unfortunately, Chuck mostly sits back and lets the other dude do most of the work. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if Chuck had taken the reins in his unfortunately, he mostly sits back and lets the other dude do most of the work. Chuck Norris gives his ordinary acting as Joshua McCord , an aging secret service operative who needs to train a younger man in his field and becomes involved into a no-holds-barred, kick-butt action mission. This action-thriller is an inferior Norris film , in fact Norris was far from his best period with hits , such as : ¨The Octagon¨ , ¨An eye for an eye¨ , ¨Forced vengeance¨ , ¨Lone Wolf MacQuade¨, ¨US Invasion¨, among others . Chuck Norris is familiar to fans worldwide as the star of action films such as Hitman (1991), Delta Force (1986) and Delta Force 2 (1990) , Missing in Action (1984) and its sequels, Firewalker (1986) and Sidekicks ( (1992). And he eventually working in television where has played the same character , Cordell Walker, in three different television series: Walker, Texas Ranger (1993), Martial Law (1998) and Sons of Thunder (1999). Being accompanied by Judson Mills and the beautiful Chinese/American Jennifer Tung as Joshua's daughter and main liaison with the President of the United States . Adding other familiar secondaries , such as Robert Urich , Roxanne Hart, Joel Swetow, Thom Barry and Philip Casnoff . In the first part titled ¨The President's Man¨(2000) by Eric Norris and Michael Preece , dealt with Norris needs to find a replacement and finally finds the choosen soldier , Dylan Neal , who results to be convicted of murder and unwilling to follow Joshua's instructions, which makes think he might not be the one . He's a rebel, a troublesome soldier and then Chuck considers at times that he couldn't be the best option to succeed him.

This low-budgeted motion picture was ordinarily but professionally directed by Eric Norris who has usually produced , playing stunts and directed various vehicles for his father Chuck. Rating : Average but entertaining . The picture will appeal to Chuck Norris fans .
