Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

This is an awesome martial arts Movie. The action is fast-paced, the plot is intriguing and original. Great cast, direction and editing are perfect. The fight scenes are very realistic. The acting is all very good as you'd expect from a top notch cast and there are plenty of fight scenes to keep the pace up. Lance Henriksen is great as the corrupt Police Chief and you will throw things at the screen while he's being evil.it's the kinda cop movie we don't see anymore with plenty of fights, nudity and electric guitar music.."Excessive Force" is a 90 minute visual feast of pure adrenaline! A must-see film for any fan of good cinema.

Thomas Ian Griffith stars as Terry McCain, a hard-boiled cop (I don't think there exists a different brand in these type of movies) who looks to avenge his partner after the death of his partner at the hands of a mobster (Played well by Burt Young) however when the mobster turns out dead, despite the mercy McCain bestowed on to him, McCain seeks the ones responsible and finds a conspiracy involved. James Earl Jones lands an embarrassing role as Griffith's would be mentor. Excessive Force is one of the blandest action flicks ever made. Its low degree of style as well as witless plot contrivances make for very dull going. Griffith's performance also grates the nerves since he looks like a used car salesman, rather than one man army cop. The good cast is ultimately wasted, Especially Jones who seems bored with the role, as does Henriksen who could do his role in his sleep. The only real life comes from villain Burt Young but he is ultimately wasted as he is killed off early. Therefore leaving us with a cast to flounder with such labored material.* out of 4-(Bad)

Thomas Ian Griffith (who was introduced to film audiences as the slimy Terry Silver in The Karate Kid part III) wrote, produced and stars in this action flick about Terry McCann, a Chicago cop with a short fuse (and one hell of a kick) who becomes engulfed in an inside plot to steal $3 million in mob money from a crime scene. They don't like that. He now has to unravel the plot before it gets him killed and those he loves around him.I really enjoyed Excessive Force (1993). Griffith is a very likable and watchable action hero. The plot isn't the most original thing going for it but it moves fast and has good energy. An interesting cast was assembled for the film which included genre fave Lance Henrikson, Vader's voice James Earl Jones, Candyman himself Tony Todd, Rocky's brother-in-law Burt Young and the exotic Charlotte Lewis. The cast I think is what saved it from becoming standard action fare.

When I rented this film, I had to keep on looking at the box just to remind myself of the title. Fittingly, the generic title makes sense for this completely unoriginal film. For what it is, the action isn't bad, and there are a surprisingly high number of familiar faces, but the plot is as standard as it gets. Anyone even remotely familiar with this genre should be able to recognize how typical this movie is, and they should be able to spot most of the plot twists a mile away. Much like I had expected, this film is watchable enough, but it wasn't particularly entertaining, and it is entirely forgettable.
