Back To Index Missing in Action
 Barnes & Noble The critics called it simple-minded and jingoistic, but 1984s slam-bang adventure Missing in Action struck a responsive chord with mayhem-minded moviegoers, who made it the biggest hit to date for action star Chuck Norris. Many years and two sequels later, it still holds up as fast-moving fun. Norris plays the intrepid Army colonel Braddock, an ex-POW who returns to the Far East long after the Vietnam War in search of other long-held American prisoners. The quest takes Braddock into many squalid settings, from which he extricates himself with the aid of an unlikely sidekick, black-marketeer M. Emmet Walsh. Not surprisingly, the script provides Norris several opportunities to display his martial-arts skills, but director Joseph Zito doesnt stint on more explosive confrontations when theyre called for. Unabashedly patriotic in the fashion of World War II movies, this Reagan-era classic lets Norris do what he does best: kick plenty of butt.
