Leia W Jan 22, 2019 I've never been a fan of Steven Segal, but I admit I've enjoyed some of his movies. Whether they're smart or just vehicles for physical action - sometimes I'm just in the mood for one. This might have been a good action vehicle. It has star power beyond Segal, and lots of action. Unfortunately, the process of translating a story to the screen failed badly here. The scenes feel disjointed, as if strung together on the cutting room floor. Characters are introduced faster than you can keep track of. It only took half an hour before I found myself wondering why people were doing what they were doing, and what the hell (in general) was going on. Segal is obviously older now, but to his credit, he moves impressively: fast and almost effortlessly. However, he's actually difficult to understand; his words slur from time to time, and while this may in part be due to the affected accent, it feels as if it might be the result of getting punched in the hit too often. It also might have something to do with the production values. They're not awful, but the film feels much more stylish than substance-rich. Wildly diverse music, intended to represent a clash of urban cultures, feels forced and overdone, and adds a bit to the confusing aural scenery. Even Rhames and Trejo are occasionally mumbling and growling their way through a script meant to project attitude rather than ideas. For the record, I'm watching this with decent headphones on, and I'm STILL confused as to what people are saying. I gave this 1.5 stars because I want to see how this ends, and it kept me occupied for a while. I would NOT recommend it, but I've definitely seen worse, and have been less-entertained, too.

Kylo R Nov 7, 2017 I watched "Force of Execution" to discover if all the one star reviews had merit. The film is not as bad as some graded it, and not as good as the high gradings. However, there is a badness about this movie that's impossible for me to explain. So I won't try. Seagal is unprepared (or poorly directed). When he talks to black gang members, he talks "ghetto." When he speaks to anyone else, he talks like a white guy. Except sometimes he gets mixed up and does the opposite accent with the wrong people. His mix-ups are unintentionally funny and stupid. This film deserves three stars: One for the film itself, one for Danny Trejo, and one for Ving Rhames. See more
