His daughter is kidnapped and he is blackmailed by a former Latin American dictator named Arius (played by Dan Hedaya who is probably better remembered by American audiences as Nick Tortelli on "Cheers"). Matrix is a former member of a special forces unit. But in "Commando," Arnold Schwarzenegger's character John Matrix is no match for the countless obstacles that are preventing him from saving his kidnapped daughter, played by a young Alyssa Milano. This is why "Die Hard" was such a great film, the hero of the film didn't look like everyone who came into his way was doomed.

Apart from a bad script, there are numerous horrible one-liners and bad acting.

These films have outlandish or undeveloped storylines that take a backseat to action sequences that involve the hero of the film being a one man army taking down countless "bad guys." It's an excuse for violence from men with too much testosterone and roid rage that appeals to the adolescent moviegoer. Do the plots in these films actually matter? Probably not.

They're extremely boring, anticlimactic, unsatisfying, and for the most part bad films.
