Where to Watch Commando
- viktorsmiOctober 31, 2025Perfect little flick to "let off some steam". Is it the best western action movie ever made? No, how can it be? This is one of the earliest entries in the classic 80s/90s action movies. You can play a drinking game finding all continuity errors and bloopers. But it's got a lot of charm, and it was a crucial milestone for later Arnold movies. Just relax and enjoy the punching sounds.
- Sideshow88June 14, 2025This is one of my all time favourite films
- JeffJuly 20, 2025It's tempting to think of this as just "cheesy" or whatever, but Commando has a pretty deliberate sense of humor to it, at times feeling like it's trying to be a bit of commentary on the genre without overdoing it. Way more interesting to revisit than I thought it'd be, heck of a movie on multiple levels.
- Antonio MaGiJanuary 10, 2026Not perfect, but not bad.
- JAAN JUHKENTALOctober 9, 2026This was my childhood favorite movie
- Lewis SandersonAugust 20, 2026This was the first 18-rated movie I ever bought on DVD when I was probably about 12, and I’ve seen it many times since. I still think it’s a fun action movie with some great one-liners, stunts and effects, but the acting as expected, isn’t great and the audio mix is very bad.
- jkimball3dAugust 6, 2026Solid Arnold action movie filled with 80's cheese.
