... View MoreThis movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
... View MoreExcellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreThis is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.
... View MoreI've seen a lot of Steve Austin movies, they're fun to watch and always keep me on the edge of my seat. Unfortunately, I can't say the same about Tactical Force. For one thing, it was much too predictable, without any twists and turns most of us expect these days, and lacked the momentum Austin movies are known for. I'm one big fan of his, but I had to take a couple of breaks just to get through this one, and that was a first for me. The acting was alright, Steve was himself, the dry, arrogant but lovable hero he is known for, but the "bad guys" fell short in this regard. Still, I doubt all the acting lessons in the world would help because in this class of movies a decent actor vs. an Oscar winner would make little difference as opposed to a drama for instance. I'd say the plot definitely needed some spicing up to compensate for having fell short on action. Maybe Steve should look for a new manager.
... View MoreSteve Austin and Michael Jai White definitely have the stuff to be B movie stars, but they need to take care when it comes to choosing the right B movie projects. "Tactical Force" isn't a step in the right direction. While this is far from the worst movie I have seen, there isn't much in this movie that makes it worth seeking out. There are a number of sloppy touches to be found - dark and murky photography, locations (filmed in Canada) that were clearly not the American locations the movie claimed to be, plus a surprising number of unclear moments where it seems that footage was missing or was never filmed in the first place. Also, the movie has a lot less action than you may think it has, and none of the action is particularly involving. The script has the occasional witty line, but its sense of humor is not enough to save the entire film. This movie should only be watched when you can see it for free, and you can't find anything better to watch.
... View MoreI 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.
... View MoreOK. I'll admit to not really being a Steve Austin fan, but I do like Michael J. Yeah, and Keith Jardine I know, but I didn't recognise any other names, or actors.It's far fetched. Very. Full of rather silly plot holes. (Like 4 member SWAT teams, etc etc, as other reviewers have said).BUT. As a (somewhat implausible) action film, it was OK, almost pretty good. The script was good, in places. It's not a spoiler to say, "Wait, I need a line", had me laughing out loud. In fact, several of the lines had me laughing. And either Demitrius (Michael Shanks) was given all the good lines, or he's a SERIOUSLY good comic actor - deadpan, but funny.So. Far from 100%, and Michael J wasn't given his best moves, but still.One for the boys, really. And the boys who like action films and aren't too discriminating.
