Was this the closest Chuck got to an Oscar role ?


Yes, yes this is Chuck we're talking about, I know. But this movie was more gritty and real life than any of his other action movies (which were clearly exploitation films of the macho kind).

This was without a doubt his best performance in a movie.He should have kept doing even more roles like this.Delta Force was really good too.

Yeah, it was realistic allright, until the f...ing ED-209 rolled in and started blowing sh!t up. It might have been one of Robocop's inspirations.
Anyway, it's a good movie, one of the many cool, entertaining and cheesy action flicks of the same year. And you all know what flicks I'm talking about.

It's probably his best quality movie. But he's been more relaxed and entertaining in other movies

IMO he did his best performance in this one...

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.

Forest Warrior wasn't his best performance?

I love Code Of Silence and agree this is the best acting from Chuck. He doesn't have the talent of Clint Eastwood but I wish he could have gotten a Unforgiven kind of role.

reply

Yeah I’d agree with that.
