Perfectly adorable
It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

View MoreI feel I should comment on all of the negative reviews this title has gotten. You've got to remember this is a television production from 2000, which is pre-Deadwood, Sons of Anarchy, Justified or The Walking Dead. If you take this into consideration, I thought the makers of The President's Man did a pretty good job. There are a lot of action and martial arts scenes, of a much more violent nature than you would expect from a late 20th century TV movie, and Chuck Norris does everything you expect of him. Although some scenes are a little oversimplified and at times don't paint a very credible image of the workings of the U.S. Army or a drug cartel, the movie kind of reminded me of a lower budget version of Delta Force 2. If you're a Chuck Norris fan I'd definitely give it a shot.
View Morethis film has to be seen to be believed, if only to see the scene where chuck skydives out of the bomb bay of an F117 stealth fighter. i dare anybody to watch that scene without rolling around on the carpet with a stitch in your gut from laughing.i have to repeat that ! skydiving from an F117 stealth fighter ! you have to see that little dot shoot across the screen !also very commendable of chuck to take on the cartel soldiers in hand to hand fights, and to give them prior warning as well.question ! why is chuck Norris not making more movies now? we need more Norris film, there is nothing better that seeing one of these little gems on TV in the wee hours of the morning.
View MoreI don't see how you could not like this movie... I mean, listen to this: at the beginning of the movie, Norris has to go to Brazil to rescue the first lady. Logically, he has to take a stealth bomber from which he parachutes from at somewhere around Mach-1. Norris then proceeds to land on the roof, pull some outrageous swing-through-the-window bull****, roundhouse kick everyone in the chest, and parachute to the ocean where he drops off the first lady to a waiting seals team and continues to parachute off into the distance.Jump ahead half an hour and some Asian chick is punching the new recruit in the crotch as he does pull ups. awesome.Jump ahead an hour and a defenseless girl gets knocked the **** out with a sucker punch to the face.Jump ahead to the very end and a kidnapped scientist makes a nuclear bomb out of plutonium, a pile of metal, and a screwdriver.Overall, this is a hilariously terrible movie.
View MoreIf you have seen even one of Norris's former horror shows AKA films, or his disgusting series "Walker, Texas Ranger" than you have seen this film's plot already, and it's outcome. It even has the same lame sound track that tries to inspire people in the American way. All it inspired me to do was change the channel. I will never understand how these films get funded and produced. I know dead people that can write better scripts! Please, warn all you know about this mess! Avoid it at all costs, and for god's sake, keep the children away from it!!!
