It is not unreasonable to imagine that a better movie than Uncommon Valor could be made about Vietnam veterans returning to the scene to rescue unreleased POWs. It is perhaps unreasonable to imagine that Chuck Norris would be in it. Here the martial-arts master, once again motivated by vengeance (and perhaps the added inspiration of a Spiderman cartoon on television), sets out to inflict public embarrassment on the incumbent Communist regime. First he shows up at a diplomatic conference in Saigon without a suit and tie. Then he refuses to shake the hand of the presiding dignitary. Then he storms out of the conference after calling said dignitary an "asshole." And finally -- after a rudimentary rescue operation -- he barges back into the conference with every last surviving American MIA (four of them) in tow. Directed by Joseph Zito.
