    10 days into the new year and Barbie and the Island Princess is still the best movie I watched so far. Concerning!

    Honestly a pretty poorly-planned invasion. They want to take down America so they blow up a shopping mall and one suburban street in Florida?

    Chuck Norris' TRUE LIES. Easily the greatest "Florida Man" story ever.

    Super entertaining, over-the-top action spectacle, courtesy of Cannon Films. Invasion U.S.A. stars the guy with the best beard-to-mullet ratio, Mr Chuck Norris. This is a dude that strikes so much fear into his enemies, that they have nightmares about him. It's pretty…

    Invasion USA only gets Christmassy around the 35 minute mark. They must have thought it would be fun to blow up some Christmas trees. They were right. They blow up the Christmas trees and houses around the Christmas trees. Real houses by the way. An entire neighborhood was…

    And this, ladies and gentlemen, is how I lose my Chuck Norris starring movie virginity, with a series of kaboom, kablam, boom and bangs for almost 100 minutes. So having seen the Canon documentary I remember it making some emphasis on this movie in particular and how it…

    Man, Chuck Norris is so overrated. There, I said it; I'm not afraid of the consequences. It’s not like he’s going to show up at my house and slam my face onto the keyboarojiioeglkbwn4bshj49sibjfhcxlkse3o

    Invasion U.S.A.

    80s action will always have a chokehold on me. This is the first Chuck Norris movie with him in the lead role I've seen, and while he's great, I'm not convinced just yet. Same over the top action I love, but he doesn't have much charisma. Maybe I'll get that in his other movies.

    It’s peak Norris, peak Cannon Films, and peak 80s action! A majority of this film had to be devoted to pyrotechnics! This film goes hard, and it’s not afraid to show how villainous these terrorists are! Overall, I think this is one of the best Norris films so far!

    This movie was made for a 52 year old 3-time Trump voter who shares AI memes of cities crumbling on Facebook whenever there's a protest

    80s action in its peak were Chuck Norris plays a unstoppable force. These kinds of films are so much fun with the over the top action.

Invasion U.S.A. is a brain-damaged, idiotic thriller, not even bad enough to be laughable.

Though in his last movie, Code of Silence, Mr. Norris, the karate champion-turned-movie actor, seemed on the verge of becoming a kind of benign Clint Eastwood character, he loses all credibility in this awful film.
