The Commando

After a botched operation, a hardened DEA operative comes home to a stunned quiet that soon turns dangerous. His household uncovers three million dollars stashed in their walls, drawing the unwanted attention of a newly freed criminal and his crew. They push to recover the cash through any means, including abducting the agent's daughters. With his family menaced, the agent taps every resource and skill at his disposal, turning the home into a tense battlefield. What follows is a relentless contest of wits and will as he fights to shield his loved ones from a threat that refuses to stop. The film leans on practical gunplay and street level tactics, keeping the focus on the central family conflict.

Directed by Asif Akbar, The Commando lands in 2022 as a brisk action thriller built from ideas by Al Bravo and Koji Steven Sakai. The cast includes Michael Jai White, Mickey Rourke, Jeff Fahey, Brendan Fehr, and Aris Mejias.

Audience reception skews mixed with a 5.7 out of 10 from 171 votes, signaling a conventional routine for the genre rather than a standout. The film centers on family protection, the moral pull of crime money, and a protagonist who risks everything to keep loved ones safe.
