Release date: October 4th 1985.
Story: Ex commando John Matrix (played by Arnold Schwarzenegger) lives a perfect life away from his former army duties with his daughter jenny. But then he learns that his former unit members are being killed by unknown agents. And those same agents later attack John's home and kidnap his daughter. It turns out that a former member named Bennett (played by Vernon Wells) was behind everything and has teamed up with a former dictator Arius (played by Dan Hedaya). Arius then tells John that if he wants his daughter back, he must travel to Arius's country Val Verde (a fictional country located in South America) and assassinate it's new president so that Arius can reclaim the presidency. But while at the airport, John kills the two henchmen who were assigned to accompany him and then teams up with a stewardess Cindy (played by Rae Dawn Chong) in order to locate and rescue his daughter. Will he be able to save his daughter and defeat the bad guys? Give it a watch and find out.
My thoughts: This is my second favourite Schwarzenegger movie. It has lots of action, one liners, and suspense. Arnold is always great to watch and Vernon Wells is also great. So I would recommend this for any action film fans and Schwarzenegger fans alike. But it is certificate 18 so only those who are 18 and over can see it. Fun fact the fictional country Val Verde is also mentioned in Die Hard 2.
My score: Five stars
