ManiakJiggy This is How Movies Should Be Made

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Michael Ledo Mr. Alexander (Steven Seagal) is an ex-government agent who learned "things" in the mountains of Thailand. He is now the crime boss over the city of Albuquerque. Iceman (Ving Rhames) has recently got out of prison and is challenging Alexander, who simply wants to be bought out honorably. In what passes for a Seagal subplot, Roman Hurst (Bren Foster)who works for Alexander, gets double crossed by Iceman and is forced to retire, losing the use of his hands- somewhat, but he can still slow motion kickbox. He now lives in a room off a diner owned by Alexander and run by Jimmy Peanuts (Danny Trejo). The waitress (Jenny Gabrielle) becomes a focal point, because that is where the crime boss likes his girlfriend to work.The plot, like Seagal is straight forward. Trejo supplies us with a surprise, but the plot is not twisty. The tough guy dialog is cliche, using lines like, "You broke the code." Seagal is a bad guy who kills people, but commands with over doses of corny respect speeches. At one point Seagal sits down and describes his gun collection, giving us the advantage points of each piece, topping it off with "Isn't that amazing."I found this to be a better quality Seagal film, as he is not in every scene and shares with Rhames and Trejo.

LouAbbott 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 grades. 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.

Ezekiel What a pleasant surprise! Here we have the best names in the industry: Rhames, Trejo, Seagal. And upstart newcomer, Bren Foster, who gives us kicks and keeps on tickin'! Thank you producers, investors, and glorious directors for a wonderful addition to the pantheon of all- time-classic kick-ass film magic. Your work here is highly commended. Keep 'em comin'!

coljam21 OK so anyone who watches a post 1996 Steven Segal flick knows to expect plenty of bad acting, gratuitous fight scenes, a lot of whispering and obvious hair plugs. Well this movie didn't disappoint. It lived up to the Segal movie reputation and then some. It was thoroughly entertaining! The first 15 minutes of the movie were awesome! I mean jaw dropping! Um hello who is this Bren Foster fellow and why is not a leading man on the silver screen? He is crazy talented and handsome but ruggish and a much better actor than all 3 of the leads in this movie. The way he got his mark at that prison was so exciting. I've never seen a martial artist with moves like him.Ving Rhames was a joke. The one fight scene he was involved in had me laughing. He's built like a redwood stump but tried to throw a kick, yeah in your dreams buddy. Trejo did his thing too. All in all it was what I expected from a Segal flick and Bren Foster was the icing on the cake. He made the movie more delicious. The fight scene in the end was a little inconsistent. Bren Foster was able to clear a prison full of guards and convicts in the beginning by himself with no weapons, but had trouble with one thug in the end? They could have thought of a better way to inject suspense into the conclusion.
