Undescribable Perfection

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

​Directed by Adamo Paulo CulatranoStarring Steve Austin, Michael Jai White and Lexa Doig​ Plot Overview: After a hostage situation gone bad, Tate(Steve Austin) and his SWAT team are sent back to do basic training but when they are caught in the middle of a gang war and with no live ammo, things go bad real fast.General: Overall: I will never rate a movie either a 1 or a 10 just to decrease its rank. I will only rank movies based on what I genuinely think they should be ranked. That being said, this is one of the worst movies I've watched in the past few years. With the bleak exception of a kind of alright premise(which they drop within the first 40 minutes), there is nothing redeeming to this movie. The acting was atrocious, the story was nonexistent and the action was just awful. The tone is all over the place and the dialogue was depressingly bad. I can genuinely not think of one proper strength of this movie. I just can't. Aside from a premise which is dropped, there isn't anything that I can say kept me watching other than the fact that I was interested if it could become any worse. If this is your standard for quality entertainment and you hold this movie at a rank with 'Die Hard' and 'Judgement Day', then I don't envy you, and I suggest you watch a LOT more movies. I don't know what type of people will like this other than maybe if you enjoy Steve Austin and if you admire this 'style' of action.Wouldn't Recommend.Detailed: The acting was just all around atrocious. I'm not gonna bother mentioning names *cough* Steve Austin *cough* because I don't deem the majority of them worthy of space in this review. That is how poor they were. To top that off, each and every character was either an archetype or human stereotype, and none of them were even remotely interesting or likable or enjoyable to watch.There was an idea, buried deep deep down under this trash, that could have made a competent, fun action movie with some quirky characters and cool one liners. This good idea was completely disregarded after maybe 40 minutes and it just becomes a stupid action movie after that. I'm not sure if there was an actual story and that plot overview I wrote above was something I think I made up to flow with the movie because very little time is actually dedicated to it. That would be fine but if there was a semi-competent story, I could have named a strength to the film. The ending was also absolutely absurd. Nothing more needs to be said on the matter. It was awful.The cinematography can be summed up in THREE words: What. The. Heck. The framing of shots, the editing, the lighting - what were they thinking! I can give credit to Joel Schumacher's dutch angle obsessed 'Batman and Robin' in the cinematography department but even this movie lacks that.The effects are, to put it in layman's terms, absolutely barbarically god awful. The set design was lazy and generic. The costume design fell into three categories: Cop stereotypes, Russian Stereotypes and Italian stereotypes. That's not a compliment by the way.The movie's main focus should have been the action. So if little effort went to anything before it, the action should be amazing. Right? Well, logically yes; in reality no. The action was just bad. This movie's exhausted by brain cells and I just don't feel like it deserves anything above Primary school vocabulary. Another flaw with the film is the tone. Upon hearing the premise of this film, I thought it could be an alright and fun action movie with some witty one liners and clever action. Well I've established the poor action so I'll address the tone. The opening sequence of this film is pretty light hearted and almost fun. Then the movie continues and the tone goes on a roller coaster but, unlike a roller coaster, there's no satisfying climax. The dialogue was terrible. Here's a game: ​Take a shot whenever someone says something racist/sexist/homophobic OR when there is some form of stereotype uses. I guarantee you'll be hospitalised by the half way mark.1/10Wouldn't Recommend

When you've got a former wrestler in a starring credit you know you're not going to be watching Oscar nominated material. Likewise when you've got a premise that sounds very similar to the Walter Hill movie TRESPASS you're not going in to a movie with expectations , but to give it its due TACTICAL FORCE never really becomes a tactical farce eitherThe best point about the movie is its likable good guys with Steve Austin playing Tate who leads his small SWAT in to a heap of trouble involving two gangs of mobsters , one Italian and one Russian . The SWAT team aren't played or written with great believability but that's not really a criticism since we the audience are supposed to like them more than we can believe in them If there's a problem then it's to do with the tone of the film where one scene somebody is cruelly killed followed by a tongue in cheek line or character scene followed by a violent death followed by another tongue in cheek scene which makes the film seem at odds with itself . There's also an entirely unconvincing twist at the end involving good guy gangster Kenny which has to be seen to be disbelieved In all many of the reviews on this page state that TACTICAL FORCE is merely an okay action thriller and I certainly go along with that but to give the movie some credit it's perhaps more entertaining than it has any right to

I expected absolutely nothing out of this movie. It was 2AM, I couldn't sleep so I started watching this movie, hoping it would make me sleep, but things went other way around totally.The beginning wasn't impressive, I thought the actors are pretty much suckers. But when the story started to take shape, it became interesting.The plot is good. No one would have imagined that unarmed SWAT guys could have to face a real action at their training camp. The Italian guy was good. And the most impressive role was of Kenny's. He killed all the scenes.Overall it was a good movie for me. I am a fan of Steve Austin AKA Stone Cold. Director was successful at keeping the physical fights short, because everyone knows that physical action never lasts more than 2 minutes unless it's a superhero.I'm shocked to see the ratings of this movie. It should have been rated more than 6.5. ANyway nice movie.

A great movie with some notable actors that was pulled off well. I think some may have seen this movie and thought it to be a serious film in t he likes of S.W.A.T. (Jackson, Farrell, 2003), however, this film I think is intended to take a more comical side, while still focusing on action and story. It does a great job at setting up the characters as a team, and showing you how well they can work together. Unlike other S.W.A.T. or Police themed movies this one does not confuse you with all sorts of law enforcement lingo and the like, but immerses you into the world of Law Enforcement in a mild, and progressively more serious manner.I did see the twist coming to a point, however I don't think it was a dead giveaway. And again, I'd like to point out that this is neither a fully blown COMEDY or POLICE THRILLER, but instead a satirical police themed action film, in close similarity to Hot Fuzz (Pegg, Frost, 2007). I think the overall idea behind this film, and those like it, is to build a relationship with the main characters that will, by the end of the film, make you want to see a Part II. This film does that, and does that well.
