“Commando” 90 minutes of perversion and bliss to enjoy “Schwarzenegger himself”

A hero who doesn't hesitate, doesn't hesitate, and doesn't stop.

As mentioned above, ``Command'' has a simple story, but what's even more noteworthy is that it completely lacks the elements that are considered essential to a movie, such as action/suspense/thriller.

It is the psychology of the protagonist's ``hesitation'' and ``conflict.'' In a normal movie, the strategy would be to make the main character empathize with him by repeatedly putting him in difficult situations and leading the audience to think, ``What should I do next?'' However, ``Command'' refreshingly abandons such a common sense approach. Matrix decides and executes his next action with lightning speed, moving forward with the story to rescue his daughter with surprising efficiency.

When I write this, it sounds like a boring, boring movie, but that's not the case. When I thought that this viewing experience was similar to something else, I thought of a certain genre movie. It's a "monster movie." It's similar to the feeling that audiences enjoy watching monsters wreak havoc on things like the Godzilla series.

There's no way you could make a movie that gives you that kind of feeling with action performed by regular actors. Because Schwarzenegger is a man with a muscular body that is far beyond normal people, and who does not harbor complex emotions (it just seems that way), he does not fall into a pinch, and without conflict, he rushes forward and kills villains. You can enjoy yourself. However, that alone might have made the film no different from Schwarzenegger's previous films. Schwarzenegger's biggest ingenuity to enjoy the taste of the material was actually in the dialogue.
