Mickey Rourke
has made some unhealthy motion pictures, however certainly one of his worst rated movies is discovering some surprising love after climbing up the 
STARZ
streaming chart. Actually, solely the mighty presence of Spider-Man: No Method Dwelling and Venom: Let There Be Carnage has stored the universally panned The Commando
off the highest spot.
Launched in 2022, The Commando is described as an “edge-of-the-seat” motion thriller, which sees an elite DEA agent – performed by Michael Jai White – uncover that there’s a stash of $3 million hidden away in his residence, and a newly launched legal (Rourke) and his violent gang need it again.

Motion motion pictures have to ship fist-fights, automobile chases, explosions and hyperlink all of them along with a narrative that makes solely the barest of logical sense. Whereas The Commando does have such a plot, it appears solely sufficient to fill a 15-minute brief, and the remainder of the time isn’t crammed out with thrills, however as a substitute a lot padding the seams have effectively and actually burst.
With solely 4 critics’ opinions on Rotten Tomatoes – three incredulously from a number of the website’s high critics – The Commando has no proportion generated, however with all 4 being categorically “rotten,” it appears unlikely that they’d have prevented the film turning into Rourke’s second 0% Tomatometer rating in as a few years following 2020’s The Legion.

Because the New York Occasions’ Glenn Kenny put it:
“A spectacularly atrocious, ostensible motion thriller, “The Commando” is distinguished by an incompetence that extends even to places.”

Audiences generally discover that glimpse of goodness in motion pictures that critics despise, however The Commando shouldn’t be a type of motion pictures. As a substitute, the repeated sentiment is “the worst film I’ve seen in a very long time,” “it’s exhausting to see why this film was made,” and, the previous traditional, “downright embarrassing.” This means, studying between the strains, that the movie ought to in all probability not be presently difficult two Marvel juggernauts for supremacy on Starz.
