O Homem do Presidente

It's pretty sad when anyone can write the dialogue of a show, as I was able to while viewing this film. It was nice to see Stuart Whitman and Ralph Waite, but this movie is nothing more than a "Walker Texas Ranger" sequel. And Norris in a classroom is a slap in the face of Dr. Indiana Jones.

Nice Because all what you expect is present. The wise aging agent, the young, impetuous and good looking young agent, the stories as pretext, some fights, some tension, young Neal under torture and the wise Norris.

A film for fans , without surprises or revelations and, in essence, this represents its main virtue. The second virtue - the lovely high unrealism.

Not being exactly an admirer of genre, nice sounds reasonable , especially for the fair predactibility and respect for familiar recipe. In rest, nothing to write except the apreciation for work of Chuck Norris who remains, part , in strange manner, a legend of action cinema. And that is all.

By the end of the 90s and 2000s the steam of the action heroes had started to run out (until Sylvester Stallone invigorated everyone's careers with the 'Expendables' franchise). Although Chuck Norris had a popular television series with 'Walker, Texas Ranger', his full length movies were also mostly television productions. 'The President's Man' is the best out of those. The movie is no way perfect. There are inconsistencies and plot holes, and the movie is bounded by the low budget and television production restraints. The story itself is quite interesting (there is a secret agent, who follows the President's direct order, but whose identity remains secret even for the President), but the screenplay follows the predictable path.

Chuck Norris stars as Joshua McCord: a typical stoic, a one-man-army type of hero. He wishes to retire and starts looking to his replacement. He finds a Delta Force sergeant Deke Slater (Dylan Neal), a soldier with an attitude who has been imprisoned for the insubordination. Slater is a guy who seems to follow his instincts (and heart) more than his brains, and McCord's task is to humble and prepare him for the upcoming missions. The main characters are nicely developed and with meaty enough backstories to care about them. Chuck Norris, Dylan Neal and Jennifer Tung form a cool trio of characters with great chemistry between them. Unfortunately villians are generic cardboard cut outs. Fight scenes and stunts are nice. In the finale the movie treats us with a proper stand-off like one proper martial arts movie should. The soundtrack is epic. It occasionally reminds the music from James Bond movies. There's nothing wrong with that - most of the super spy movies have scores that have similar compositions.

'The President's Man' is not very demanding, but sometimes it's just good to watch a simple action movie where good guys win with ease. A must see for any self respecting Chuck Norris fan. And you just have to respect that Chuck Norris was nearly 60 in this movie.

Chuck Norris at his best: teacher, moral adviser and patriot!

The President's Man is kind of special soldier who carries out missions that nobody else can do and he follows orders directly from the President of the United States of America! Some people would find it uninteresting,- but I'll tell you- It is terribly watchable and funny!

Chuck Norris is kind of a CIA special agent or Delta Force.

There is an exotic character played by American actress Jennifer Tung (Who was Miss Chinatown in San Francisco!) She is the daughter of Chuck Norris and a Vietnamese woman who married the American hero.

If you are a fan of Chuck Norris ( And I am a proud one) you must watch this!

Don't listen to all the trumped up bad reviews for this film! I'm convinced they are mostly from Norris haters because he is a known Republican!

The film is great. It is better than the TV series Texas Ranger. It is just like a movie in the theaters except it has abrupt cuts to black where a commercial might be.

The film is a mix of the James Bond style movie with American military action films. It has humor and excitement and is just a fun romp. The main characters are pretty well conceived and are well acted.

If this had been a planned series, I'm sorry it never materialized.

It is a good family entertainment and could very well have been a film release. It is better than some of the latest Steven Seagal movies by far and has some good action scenes. 8 out of 10!
