To be truthful, if it were any other person as the star, I'd probably give this no stars. But still, I have a special place in my heart for Chuck Norris. Most people know going into a movie like this that it is not driven by brilliant story telling. You want a fun movie where the hero kicks butt and takes names. Well, it takes a while before Chuck does those things. For me, its a let down because when he DOES serve up justice, its almost entirely with guns and explosives. This from the 6 time world karate champ & 8th degree grand master in taekwondo. I realize this is an 'action' movie and not a 'martial arts' movie, but Chuch could have at least thrown us a bone on this one.
At the same time, I still love the feel of the whole 'We are America, screw everyone else' attitude. Pretty good fun for a lazy Saturday night.
The only bad thing to come out of Bruce Lee's career is Chuck Norris. Lee was Asian and middle-America (i.e. rednecks) couldn't accept that at first. But they sure love fighting and a** kickin'. Enter Chuck Norris, a man half as skilled as Lee, but white.
"Missing in Action" is garbage and so is your mind if you like it.
ZERO stars.
