Review of Attack Force (2006) by James E R — 16 Feb 2009

Steven Seagal Vanity Project #25, ok not really a vanity project (compaired to his other work), still a mess none the less. The plots muddled as hell (aparently they changed it after they where done filming thus the presence of some really bad dubbing), something about covert military operations and chemical warfare (that appearantly turns people into mindless killing machines but not really), it's never really explained what the baddies want (or who the hell that chick Seagal fights at the end is).

Also how in the hell to the Americans get away with major military deployments in France (at least a company of army troops with APC) without the French raising a snit (not something I should be thinking about in an action movie but as mentioned the rest of the plot is a mess).

Acting wise what little was there is butchered thanks to the dubbing (seriously Seagal sounds like a 60 year old smoker) with the exception of Adam Croasdell as Aroon one of the evil scientists, who appears to have wondered in from a much better B-movie and some of the actress' provide some nice eye candy.

Effects are hit and mess as are the fightscenes, though the scene where the soldiers are searching the town is well done (hampered by the plot). Kinda like Under Seige meets The X-Files meets 28 Days Later which woulda been cool if the plot wasn't such a mess.

Sorry Steven you almost had a good movie here. Next time remeber hammer out the plot BEFOR you start filming also pants first then shoes.
