CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

gridoon2018 Patrick Muldoon is miscast (he's too clean-cut to be convincing as a bad-ass agent), Roy Scheider is even more miscast (blowing up Bill Clinton's public image at the time, the US President is practically a satyr), but some familiar faces in the supporting cast are most welcome, and help keep this film watchable: Michael Biehn as a traitor, Phillip Tan as a henchman, Maria Conchita Alonso as the trying-to-stay-calm-under-pressure Vice President, and Sung Hi Lee as a sexy operative. Though the stakes of the plot are high, there are no real standout action set pieces, dooming "Chain Of Command" to the land of forgettable straight-to-video action flicks. ** out of 4.

roehlbriones The best way to have fun in this movie is to count how many clichés it is rehashing. Snarling Chinese gangsters. A female vice-president. A ventilator duct that happens to be big enough to fit a big Caucasian male. Shooting through the wall to kill the bad guy. A Situation where you need to snuff out some innocent people to prevent Armageddon. Independence Day scenes where you snuff out some memorable landmarks in a fireball. The vice president in a nice well lighted room surrounded by subordinates, while the Chinese premier virtually alone in a dark room with just bit of dim light shining, snarling as viciously as the slimy gangsters. A lone hero left alone in a ship (building, airplane, whatever) wreaking havoc on clueless bad guys with big automatic weapons. Etc., etc., etc.The second best way is to count how many zeroes you need to put after the decimal to accurately gauge the probability of the film scenario. I counted up to 45. A president agreeing to a meeting on board a private vessel. The impossibly non-overridable command from the nuke box. The part where the Chinese decided to play shoot 'em up. Etc., etc. Man the earth is more likely fall into the sun than for this film to happen. I admit the film was interesting until the point the evil Taiwanese gangsters kidnapped the President. Then the boredom kicked in. Suspension of disbelief ceased, and I started thinking the fun I'd have torturing this film...

selwitelsd I really think this one was practically as good as most of the 007 films! The acting by all was superb! Former Bond girl, Maria Conchietta Alonso was superb as the Vice Prez! Blond actor William R. Moses was excellent as Phillips! Loved it! This one deserves 5 stars!

kiethevez I really enjoyed this film. I have always liked Roy Scheider and he was really good in it. Muldoon did allright even though i don't really like him. It was kinda like a B-version of Die hard. If only they would have had a bigger budget then it would have been a 10. See it!
