Chuck Norris is a legend of action
cinema and maybe action movies biggest joke. Go online and you can
find thousands upon thousands of “Chuck Norris facts” that all
are indeed quite funny. The humor is even acknowledged in Chuck's
brief appearance in Expendables II. But let's face the facts, Chuck
was never much of an actor. He's one helluva martial artist, the real
deal. So that makes up for his lack of acting chops. But you don't
watch a Chuck Norris movie for his thespian skills, you watch one for
all the ass kickery that is going to be contained in the films 90
minute run time.
The plot itself is rather convoluted
and headache inducing at times. Norris plays Scott James a man
haunted by memories and flashbacks during both his waking and
sleeping hours. The first is a childhood memory relating to his
intense ninja training as a child. The second is a recollection of
loss, one that has turned Scott away from his former life. But a
wealthy heiress (is there any other kind?) convinces him to enter the
fray once more. Scott finds himself dragged into an international
terrorist group “The Octagon” consisting of ninjas (always a good
thing) and a not so friendly face from Chuck's past.
