Missing in Action 2: The Beginning (1985) – Review
3 Stars
There are a few very intense sequences including a scene in which Norris is strung upside down and gagged with a rat. Another in which an English journalist is executed is striking in its realistic depiction of a gun shot to the head. However this is a Cannon Films production and realism is far from what the company strives for. Its a b-movie in the truest sense of the word. The characters are paper-thin, the acting is minimal and a fight breaks out every ten minutes or so. Taken on these terms, it’s also a lot of fun. The best film in the MIA franchise.
