Gentle reader, I did start the action film portion of Christmas movie watching by watching Invasion U.S.A. As I did a DVD review such as I do in 2011, I won’t reiterate what I said back then.
The film hits a little differently than it did back in 2011 or even a couple of years ago.
I mean, a couple hundred Russian and Cuban commandoes bring the nation to its knees (but for Chuck Norris) by spreading out and unleashing terrorist mayhem in different cities. It could happen!
I used to tell my boys when they were younger that we didn’t have to worry about someone invading the United States because we had two large oceans to buffer us from other nations who would face great logistical challenges in getting an army across. I mean, perhaps the Chinese could stage a couple million men in Mexico and then come over the border, but….
Oh. I guess they would not have to be Chinese, would they?
So, yeah, that sort of dampens the Christmas spirit of the piece.
