Logan's War: Bound by Honor (1998)

Undescribable Perfection

Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

As the 1990s progresses, Chuck Norris found himself falling out of favour with cinema audiences – so he transferred his hard-man antics to the small screen, where he struck gold with his successful series, WALKER, Texas RANGER. At the same time he continued to appear in a series of television movies, including this one, which re-teams him with television director Michael Preece for a story of revenge, the plot of which appears to have come straight out of the 1970s.First, the bad news for Norris fans: he's not the main star here! Instead, that honour goes to the fresh-faced Eddie Cibrian, playing a guy who witnesses the murder of his entire family (shades of LEON here) and, fifteen years later, decides to get revenge. He does so by infiltrating the mob and getting close to the guys responsible, before revealing his true identity, at which point all hell predictably breaks loose. So, there's nothing new here for action lovers. The film is marred by Preece's sappy, cheesy direction and the inclusion of a preposterous sub-plot which sees Cibrian possessing psychic abilities, able to predict when disaster is about to occur.Saying that, for a TV movie, this is pretty impressive. It's got a ton of action to recommend it, some comedy – it works on occasion, like the two dumb gangsters, other times it doesn't – and quite a lot of drama. It's all very cheesy but hey, this is the US TV style. The acting is adequate – Cibrian's hero is a likable enough chap, the bad guys are suitably bad and Chuck Norris is as fun on screen as ever – but really, this is all about the action. And it isn't bad at all. The highlight is the huge shoot-out at the climax of the movie, which incorporates the cheesy kick-through-the-windscreen stunt that Norris pulled off in GOOD GUYS WEAR BLACK – except this time, a stuntman stands in for our hero. Still, it's good stuff, and Norris is still on top form in the various training sequences we see him take part in (and you've gotta love the photo they use from DELTA FORCE II). It's just a shame he wasn't the main actor. LOGAN'S WAR is no classic and it's quickly forgettable viewing. But it's kind of fun, and I have to say I enjoyed it.

Logan's War is nothing special. In fact, it's really just like a long episode of Walker, Texas Ranger that focuses more on the protégé of Chuck Norris than Chuck himself. the acting, directing, characters, and story are all just like you would expect to see if you were watching Walker. This is no joke. moreover, several main characters are portrayed by people who guest starred on Walker. This isn't very shocking, however, since this movie was created and produced by the same people. The story is very plain: Logan Fallon's family is murdered by a criminal group when he is ten years old. He is taken in by his uncle, Jake Fallon, who is played by Chuck Norris. Chuck is, like always, a martial arts wizard who trains Logan in the ways of combat. Logan briefly joins the Army and then leaves to seek revenge for his family.Neither the story or the characters are very interesting. What is interesting is the action, which is what you expect from a Chuck Norris film. The fight sequences are nicely choreographed, and wires are seemingly non-existent, which is a definite plus. Also, while Chuck Norris may not have a lot of fighting in the movie, he looks awesome whenever he is fighting. He was nearly 60 at the time, and showed that he still had the skills. Overall, it's a plain movie with some remarkable action.

this movies weird. good but weird. its been a while since i saw it but the one thing i remember is that near the end the heros about to be killed by some mafia goon sneaking up on him and chuck norris suddenly appears from a cupboard!! its like he was in narnia or something and got out at the best possible time.also he kicks a guy trough the windshield of his car which doesn't make much sense since the cars actually going to run him over PLUS the guy in the car dies which is impossible as far as i know but hey other than those weird little bits i remember it being a decent film and worth watching (especially to laugh at chuck appearing out of nowhere!!!)so if u have a bit of time to waste rent this out and have a laugh (hey its worth it for like 2 quid right?)

It was a good movie that I watched on TV. I watched it mostly because it had Chuck Norris in it. It had a good story line and a lot of good fighting. My dad, my friends, and I have all watched it and we still talk about a certain move that Chuck Norris did twice in the movie. I am trying to get any information about this move but can't seem to find any. So overall I would say it is a movie worth watching.
