Logan's War: Bound by Honor

I've always been a big fan of Chuck Norris, but when I saw this film I was simply blown away by the perfect combination of well choreographed martial-arts action, stunt-work, and terrific training sequences. It still fascinates me now.

Although the story is simple, Chuck Norris stars as martial arts extraordinaire Jake Fallon, who, after the death of his brother and sister-in-law, adopts (and trains) his orphaned nephew. Logan (Eddie Cibrian, TV's Third Watch). After fifteen years of careful instruction, Logan is determined to avenge his parents Death... And, he'll need Uncle Jake's help to do it.

Although Chuck is about 58 in this film, he shows off some moves which many men in their prime could never pull off, Nice bit at the end with Norris dispatching the chief mobster using a method lifted directly from his own GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK movie from the 1970's, but this is better.

Logan's War: Bound by Honor is a solid piece of TV action movie entertainment. It has a great cast, a good story, and some exciting action bits. And although Chuck is not in the movie through out, it's still worth checking out.

One of my personal favorites.. Great stuff...

This movie reminds me of the Executioner. A guy's family gets whacked by the Mafia and in return the guy goes after them. It's pretty awesome though. Chuck Norris plays an awesome role and it just reminds me so much of Walker, Texas Ranger, especially with the way the credits are made out and most of the guys have been on an episode of Walker, Texas Ranger. The only thing that really stunk was that the beginning took place in 1983 and then in the middle jumps back 15 years later into the present and none of the characters, other than Logan changes. But overall, this movie was cool. I gave up reading the Executioner because of my spiritual beliefs, but I don't really see what's so wrong with this movie so I've got this movie to take over my wants to see a guy take out the Mafia. Overall, the best Chuck Norris movie I've seen.

STAR RATING:*****Unmissable****Very Good***Okay**You Could Go Out For A Meal Instead*Avoid At All Costs

Logan's War is a film nobody could accuse of being misleading.You wanted a straight-forward Chuck Norris action film,you got it.Regular Norris director Michael Preece handles proceedings in an utterly standard fashion,with unremarkable dialogue,an obviously restricted budget, a predictable story and acting that seems to have been lifted from Disney's The Lion King ,with Eddie Cibrian in the role of the Simba character.Completely ordinary,but this is either a good or a bad thing ,depending on how you look at it.**

Logan Fallon (Eddie Cibrian) was ten years old when his prosecutor father was marked for murder by a gangster he was prosecuting. Logan has this uncanny ability to sense danger before it happens, and he sensed the gangster's hitmen coming and survived their attack but the rest of his family was not so lucky. Logan chose not to tell the investigator who killed his family cause he wants to get them himself.

Better than average TV stars Chuck Norris, who has a cameo appearance, and Eddie Cibrian, who is the main lead. He acts quite well as the ex-army ranger out for revenge. It's a simple plot, it's a familiar story, and it's a bit slow, but overall it was quite gripping with some good action. It's amazing to see the 58 year old Chuck take down the bad guys with much vigour.

While this has all the elements of another story where a boy sees his family killed and waits till he's older to exact revenge, this is special because there is at least a pretty tight plot and some great fighting scenes, and the main actors, Chuck Norris and Eddie Cibrian as uncle and nephew, share a special sixth sense when it comes to danger. The fight scenes are well choreographed and shows why when Norris is involved, there is bound to be hands and feet (and bodies) flying.
