Review of Attack Force (2006) by Don L — 04 Feb 2014
I bought the Seagal 6 boxset and this was the first that I watched. I don't demand too much from action films, and this film gets 1.5 stars.
The direction is pretty bad, no-one who is any good would touch this film as the script is like a desert, void of any humour or wit, although if there had been I'm not sure Seagal or any of his gun fodder friends could have delivered it.
As per most of Seagal's films, he finds himself in a situation that demands that he go after the bad guys and kill them, these days even Seagal is bored of the script and bad lighting so he nonchalantly plods through the film, dust and debris not even smearing the makeup on his podgy face as all of his buddies are either thrown through walls, blown up or butchered.
The final showdown is between Seagal and a guy, Seagal employing the use of blades attached to his hands, because of course Seagal and his evil opponents like to keep it old school, ditching the maching guns and glocks in favour of wrestling around, grunting and trying to stab each other.
The ending tells it all, as after the showdown, Seagal and and his last standing mate run to their truck and leave, that's exactly what they should have done after reading the script.
