L'homme du président: Mission spéciale

Not as jingoistic as expected, for one thing. "The radical fundamentalist element makes up only about 0.01% of the billion Muslims spread around the world. We can't condemn them all for the actions of a few", says Chuck Norris (top government agent, college professor at his spare time!) at one point, and if it sounds preachy or heavy-handed, considering the fact that some people still haven't gotten that point in the year 2008, it's quite commendable of Norris to make it in 2001. As an action film, "The President's Man 2" is above-average by TV standards. Some of the stunts are blatantly unbelievable (catching a knife thrown at you in mid-air!), but what the hell, it's an action film after all. Chuck mostly sits this one out, giving the spotlight to the young Judson Mills, who is admittedly very impressive in his fight scenes. The best scene of the movie is a friendly training "match" between Mills and Chuck's on-screen daughter, Jennifer Tung (who is either trained in the martial arts or can fake it very well). Actually, that's the second best scene. The best is Chuck kicking a terrorist onto a tree like a ball! (**1/2)

(By the way, contrary to what another comment says, Mills isn't Norris' son, Tung never goes into the field, and there is no bad girl either; seeing a movie before commenting on it is strongly recommended).

Oh dear, Oh dear. I started watching this not knowing what to expect. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. There were times when I thought it was a comedy. I loved how the government's plan to capture the terrorist leader is to air drop in one man, who is unarmed, and expect him to capture him and escape with a rocket pack. If only it were really that easy. I've finally found a movie worse than "Plan 9 From Outer Space".

Too bad Chuck Norris has gone to TV. He made some good movies before he hit TV. This is a typical TV movie intended to pass the time. Unfortunately it wastes Chuck's talent as an actor. I hope he returns to the big screen some day.

This The President's Man: A Line in the Sand (2002) turns out to be a sequel of The President's Man (2000) . At the beginning the new President's Man's Man rides a motorcycle over a green-screened fireball and drives past recycled footage from the first movie . Dealing with Robert Urich playing the new President who sends his right hand man McCord/Chuck Norris to take down a terrorist group . Norris is a U. S. president's highly classified secret agent who thinks it's time for him to retire and must find a fearless replacement to take over his extremely dangerous military missions . McCord has a daughter (Jennifer Tung) who is in charge of recruit's training and satellite's watching . When a band of Islamic of terrorists commits bloody acts , McCord goes into action and finds himself thrust head to the most dangerous assignments . Once he captures the terrorist leader , the no-good evil attempts to blow up Dallas . With the help of his trusty partner (Judson Mills) , Chuck sets out to save Dallas from total destruction. As they get a mission which has personal implications for Joshua . So they go , no mission is impossible.

This is a Chuck Norris recital , showing his portentous skills , containing action-packed , thrills , chases , fights , pursuits and loads of violence . Whereas the first flick got off to a strong start ; this follow-up goes off at the bottom of the barrel and slowly climbs its way upward . Chuck Norris along with Judson Mills demonstrate their qualities as action heroes on the fights against the largest-than-life enemies by means of punches , slaps , kicks , bounds and more leaps . Here Norris finds a strong colleague , Judson Mills , subsequently training him in all kinds of risked tests ; the problem is that the chosen one is a guy ever terrible , he somehow manages to have even less charisma than the other dude : Dylan Neal , who formerly held the role . I guess it wouldn't be so bad if Chuck had taken the reins and kicked some ass , in spite of it , Judson Mills also played a main role in ¨Walker Texas Rangers¨ along with Norris , the recently deceased Clarence Gilyard Jr. , Sheree J. Wilson and Nia Peeples . Unfortunately, Chuck mostly sits back and lets the other dude do most of the work. I guess it wouldn't be so bad if Chuck had taken the reins in his unfortunately, he mostly sits back and lets the other dude do most of the work. Chuck Norris gives his ordinary acting as Joshua McCord , an aging secret service operative who needs to train a younger man in his field and becomes involved into a no-holds-barred, kick-butt action mission. This action-thriller is an inferior Norris film , in fact Norris was far from his best period with hits , such as : ¨The Octagon¨ , ¨An eye for an eye¨ , ¨Forced vengeance¨ , ¨Lone Wolf MacQuade¨, ¨US Invasion¨, among others . Chuck Norris is familiar to fans worldwide as the star of action films such as Hitman (1991), Delta Force (1986) and Delta Force 2 (1990) , Missing in Action (1984) and its sequels, Firewalker (1986) and Sidekicks ( (1992). And he eventually working in television where has played the same character , Cordell Walker, in three different television series: Walker, Texas Ranger (1993), Martial Law (1998) and Sons of Thunder (1999). Being accompanied by Judson Mills and the beautiful Chinese/American Jennifer Tung as Joshua's daughter and main liaison with the President of the United States . Adding other familiar secondaries , such as Robert Urich , Roxanne Hart, Joel Swetow, Thom Barry and Philip Casnoff . In the first part titled ¨The President's Man¨(2000) by Eric Norris and Michael Preece , dealt with Norris needs to find a replacement and finally finds the choosen soldier , Dylan Neal , who results to be convicted of murder and unwilling to follow Joshua's instructions, which makes think he might not be the one . He's a rebel, a troublesome soldier and then Chuck considers at times that he couldn't be the best option to succeed him.

This low-budgeted motion picture was ordinarily but professionally directed by Eric Norris who has usually produced , playing stunts and directed various vehicles for his father Chuck. Rating : Average but entertaining . The picture will appeal to Chuck Norris fans .

Deke Slater is the new President's Man. He's working with his mentor Josh McCord (Chuck Norris) and Que on missions around the globe. President Adam Mayfield (Robert Urich) has a new mission for the secret group. An Arab terrorist group had smuggled a nuclear bomb into the U. S.

This was filmed before 9/11 and was aired months after the event. The recounting of the terrorist attacks is both powerful and out-of-date. It's not that they could do anything about it. In a way, it's too on-the-nose and also wrong-headed. I don't think anybody wants a fictional fight against Islamic terrorists when there is a real one on the nightly news. As for the movie itself, the story holds together better than the first one. It's still stuck strictly in B-TV territories. It's not good enough to be realistic and it's definitively not trying to be stylish. It's Chuck's 80's work over and over again.
