Also, A Force of One will be released the same day. Not as good but more Chuck on BD is always good

Both can be picked up dirt cheap now. I hear Force of One is not so good though.

it's got Bill "Superfoot" Wallace in it !. Good early Chuck movie imo.

I read reviews of both and The Octagon scored better. I guess for £3 or £4 though its not loss if Force Of One is'nt as good.

The Octagon is better but A Force Of One isn't bad at all and for that price it's a no brainer.

A Force of One plays like a 70s TV movie, something akin to a pilot for a TV series.

Every week see Karate champ Chuck Norris help cops solve cases.

The Octagon is the superior film, more cinematic, better action.
