Command 5

About This Movie

Command 5 is one of those 80s TV movies that wears its action badge with pride, albeit a bit rough around the edges. The pacing is brisk, and while the director remains in the shadows, the film finds its stride in showcasing a small town under siege by the Brotherhood. The performances are solid for a made-for-TV affair, with the cast really committing to their roles amidst some rather basic practical effects. The tension builds nicely as the special forces team strategizes their assault, making it a decent watch for those who appreciate military action narratives from this era. It has that distinct made-for-TV vibe, capturing a specific slice of 80s action cinema that’s hard to replicate.
