Tactical Force (2011) User Reviews

A mediocre action-comedy to kill time

[clarioncall · 5/10 · 9 August 2011]

NOTICE: If you are looking for a high budget tactical operations movie with hundreds of crew, do not watch this movie, instead go try some Denzel Washington movie. But notice that this movie's budget is not somewhere near what Denzel is paid for a movie. I do not even mention if you are looking for a Goldener Bär or Academy Award Nominate. This movie itself DOES NOT aim such a thing.

The movie is actually a short story of 4 careless officer (3 guys + 1 woman) who love more action and less thinking. Most of us are used to watching action movies in which there are clever S.W.A.T. officers who always put the hostages' (even criminal's) safety as priority during their operations. But heroes of this movie are exact of opposite of this model. I mean they are looking for more action even they lose a team member. This intent behind the hard-look of those policemen gives the viewers an absurd feeling, and I must say I liked it.

I do not want to go too deep about the technical aspects but I can say that the acting is O.K. (Especially M. Jai White's acting and Lexa Doig's beauty worth mentioning) Musics and sound effects fit the action. Dialogues are usually silly (But again usual for this kind of action), similarly storyline is predictable, but that does not really disturbs while following.

Well, I'd like to say this movie is worth watching if you like non-stop action, and if you are not looking for real art. 5.5/10

It was a fun, entertaining movie.

[davidfurlotte · 6/10 · 1 August 2011]

If you start to play this movie and you are expecting it to be a serious police drama that is 100% realistic you will be in for a round of disappointment. HOWEVER, if you watch it and just go along for the ride, you'll get some laughs, some adrenaline rushes and basically be able to have something fun to talk about with your friends.

I'm sure that there are some LAPD cops out there saying, "You gotta be f***ing kidding me!" and LAPD S.W.A.T. units are going to be hiding their patches for awhile to try and live down the "crazed cowboy" image this movie has painted of them. But take heart guys, I think anyone with a functioning brain will realize that the good guys are just as LARGER THAN LIFE as the bad guys are.

It's an action movie and to be honest, I have to say that although the characters were outrageous stereotypes; the people portraying them did an excellent job of carrying it off without making it too campy. Especially kudos to both females in this movie because they carried off their parts well without having to depend on their sexuality.

**************************SPOILER ALERT********************************

It truly began to feel like a James Bond movie with the number of times that our heroes got captured and were ABOUT to be executed but somebody just had to say something before pulling the trigger. That is probably the only thing that really threw it for me. Bad guys were shooting and shooting to try and kill these cops and when they do finally get them, they TALK instead of shoot. As was said in an old classic movie, "When you're going to shoot somebody, shoot, don't talk." All in all, give this movie a watch and make sure you do it with a few friends because you'll be laughing and talking about it for long after the final credits roll. ENJOY!

Well-paced slice of B-movie action

[Leofwine_draca · 6/10 · 7 August 2013]

TACTICAL FORCE is another vehicle for bald, hulking, ex-wrestler turned actor Steve Austin, who seems to have become the new Seagal ever since he starred as a villain in Stallone's THE EXPENDABLES. So far, I've seen Austin in a passable variant of Van Damme's A.W.O.L. (called DAMAGE), but this is a straightforward shoot-em-up. It's as much fun as DAMAGE, proving that Austin is an adequate star for fans of light action.

The premise and setting for this movie couldn't have been much cheaper: a small SWAT team are on a training exercise in an abandoned warehouse, but they soon find themselves assailed by various gangster types. Cue lots of drawn-out fight scenes and sequences of characters firing heavy weaponry at each other. It's a workable premise - Tarantino revealed the brilliance of utilising such a setting and a small cast twenty years ago in RESERVOIR DOGS - and the decent pacing makes it a painless viewing experience.

The production values are a little weak if you look at them too closely, and it's fair to say that the cast are well-suited to B-movies; Austin is on particularly dodgy ground here, and would do better to just keep his mouth shut and hit people as that's what he does best. There are some heavyweights (physically rather than acting) in support, like Michael Jai White (just in case you wondered what happened to him after UNIVERSAL SOLDIER: THE RETURN) and the arresting Darren Shahlavi and Keith Jardine, but this looks and feels like a B-movie through and through.

The action isn't bad, but I would have liked a little more of it. The requisite shoot-outs and fist-fights are fun, although the van chase is ridiculously stupid and some of the explosions are a little on the fake side. The ending is also a tad disappointing, getting too mixed up between the bad-bad characters and the good-bad characters. But I went into TACTICAL FORCE expecting nothing, and I got a mildly entertaining movie instead, so I can't complain too much.

Worst "SWAT" movie ever.

[AndreasHardcastle · 3/10 · 2 August 2011]

A really good example where larger than live characters work is Stallone's "The Expendables". Here they tried but the characters just sound dumb. As do all dialogs in "Tactical Force". Throughout the movie I had the feeling that the cast wrote the script themselves while having a few drinks too many and now they made it into a movie with the sole goal of having some fun themselves, no matter the outcome. But while it looks like they really had fun doing it the only reason I watched through the whole thing was to see all martial arts scenes with Michal Jai White because those few were the only half good thing about the flick.

I'm pretty sure if any SWAT member ever sees this movie he'll face-palm himself black and blue because kids playing cowboys and Indians in the garden show better tactics and skills then the SWAT team in this movie.

Then there is the endless talking of the bad guys in every moment they are in control. It's like they were thinking "how long can we stretch the cliché of the bad guys talking too much until they get overpowered until someone switches off the movie or starts taking vodka intraveinously to find some fun in it?".

The movie also had two female characters but they don't do much except getting one over the head at some point and more or less looking pretty. Lexa Doig in SWAT gear is the "less" and Candace Elaine in leather the "more".

It seems they tried to give the dialog this cult movie style of humor, the one that's pretty well executed in "Mean Guns", but all I could do here was roll my eyes. As I said before, it just sounds dumb.

I think you really have to be a fanboy/fangirl of one of the actors to find anything enjoyable about this movie. For me that was Michael Jai White, without him I'd switched it off after 10 minutes.

I feel bad for Michael Jai White

[udar55 · 10 August 2011]

After resolving a supermarket hold up in violent fashion, a Los Angeles S.W.A.T. team - leader Tate (Steve Austin), Hunt (Michael Jai White), Jannard (Lexa Doig), and Blanco (Steve Bacic) - are assigned to do training at a remote facility (with only themselves on the site...huh, no trainers?). This is bad news as two mob factions (including Michael Shanks doing one of cinema's worst Russian accents) have descended up on the warehouse looking for a mysterious briefcase. Walter Hill's TRESPASS, much? This is really bottom of the barrel stuff and I feel bad for the big names who actually signed up to be in this. Particularly the very talented Jai White, who deserves so much better. Director Adamo Paolo Cultraro, he of the many Os, just makes an ugly, ugly film with flat digital photography and horrible editing during the fights. For example, any time a person gets punched, they do a visual effect of the image rocking/blurring. Austin still has little personality (his attempts at comedy are almost unbearable) and I'm surprised he still gets these lead roles. The final fight is WWE vs. UFC as he takes on veteran MMA fighter Keith "The Dean of Mean" Jardine. I'll let you guess who wins.

Well, a B grade movie can always be a B grade movie...

[unitedcba · 5/10 · 2 August 2011]

Tactical Force (2011) | My Rating ☛ 4.5/10 90min - Action

Well a B grade movie can always be a B grade movie...That is what exactly Tactical Force delivered. Having two average action stars the movie completely fail to entertain me. Acting was OK but still could have been better.But like i said its a B grade movie what more you can expect. The director seems to try his best to make the movie better but half of the time he failed to do it..One thing i liked about this movie is its dialogues which was far better than any B grade movies..lots of punch lines and all. All in all Lower your expectation watch this movie knowing and expecting as a B grade and Tactical Force might entertain you...This is only for hard core action movie fans and fans of Michael Jai White & Steve Austin.

Enjoyable B movie

[illness7 · 5/10 · 1 August 2011]

I enjoyed this movie right from the beginning, knowing it was a B movie but with good action actors. I'm currently writing this review midway through the movie and decided to voice my opinion since I'm constantly reading others opinion about movies on IMDb. The movie isn't great some flaws but to be honest more enjoyable than a lot of over-hyped movies such as expendables, hanna, and iron man 2. Of course only an opinion and these movies budgets were much bigger but it is a trip to see unheard of movies actually being better than movies I anticipate to see and am let down. Hopefully this will help in your decision on whether to watch, should enjoy if you like to the point action.

Better then expected

[Laughtergirl · 7/10 · 18 August 2011]

Hard to know what to expect with the mix of reviews, however I thought the movie was much better then the IMDb rating. It had enough action to keep me watching, enough comedy to keep me laughing and an overall engaging plot. The acting was good enough for a'B' movie- it's not like it had Meryl Streep in it. The quality of the video in both visual and sound was 'A' to me. I wouldn't go as far in saying I'd watch it again and again- but feel that it's still worth the rental or DVD purchase. What do people except for a 'cop comedy/action' ??? It was just as good as 'red' or the 'expendables' for story/ plot/ writing/ visual with a bit worse acting quality. ( B or unknown actors) Ignore the critics and form an opinion of your own.

Eat my Grandma!

[Shadowking1001 · 4/10 · 26 March 2021]

The title is actual dialogue from the movie. Yes, some one wrote this, and another actually said it out loud in the movie! I think that tells you all you need to know about this movie. This movie is chock full of senseless macho bravado and brainless cliche lines. The police SWAT team has no concern for the safety of civilians when trying to take down a bunch of dimwits who storm and hold a convenience store like they besieging Fort Knox. The movie goes on to highlight bad acting (movie makers MUST APOLOGIZE to all Italians! LOL!), idiotic decisions (from good guys and bad guys alike) and the spectacular Shakespearean line - "EAT MY GRANDMA!". Finally, the massive twist in the final scene is so impractical that even the movie makers could not explain it themselves, so they just decide to ignore it.

In summary, this is a movie best put on when you are doing chores around the house, and you just want some mindless moving pictures to watch. You should not watch this for realism, accuracy or above average talent.

Beat Down Reviews : Tactical Force

[jwchoo1 · 7/10 · 16 August 2011]

Alright after my brief hiatus, I am back int the world of B-Action movies and I would like to get this show on the road.

I also would like to say that this movie is not complete trash. There are some appealing moments and some pretty good fight scenes for and action movie enthusiasts. It is unexpected to see quite a bit of familiar faces in this show. It stars todays B-Action heroes, Steve Austin, Micheal Jai White, Darren Shalavi and Kieth Jarradine. There are also some people you would notice if you are a fan of sci-fi, such as Micheal Shanks as a Russian gangster. This movie also stars Michael Eklund and Adrian Holmes.

Honestly speaking, I did not have high hopes for this movie, seeing the opening of the movie was probably showing one the worst depictions of a swat team ever. But of course this movie was meant to be fun and not to be taken seriously.

So the basic premise of this movie is this, "A training exercise for the LAPD SWAT Team goes terribly wrong when they find themselves pitted against two rival gangs while trapped in an abandoned Hangar, armed with nothing but blanks." Thats about it.

Actually there is much more than that. Threre is an item in a briefcase that scared most of the members of the swat team that the bad guys are after. They never really get into the subject of explaining what that item is. The movie leads us to believe that it is a bomb. This in which I already believe it to be pretty smart for the film of such caliber.

The acting is pretty good for what its worth. Steve Austin once again gives his wooden acting a nice little push upwards adding a little humor in the dialog. But the most enjoyable dialog in this film is probably the back and forth insults between the Italian mobster and the Russian gangster. Both insulting each other while trying to get the 'package' The writing is pretty smart for what it is. And the directing is solid if albeit a little disjointed at times. But one thing is for sure, The action scenes are good. The fight scene between White and Shalavi is one to out for even though it is brief.

The ending is has a big twist that even left me dumbfounded and a little confused. But hey it is a well made B- action movie that would suffice for anyone who has nothing to do on a Saturday night.

One of the worst action movies I've ever seen; Would NOT Recommend

[EthanBJones_03 · 1/10 · 29 April 2017]

​Directed by Adamo Paulo Culatrano

Starring Steve Austin, Michael Jai White and Lexa Doig

​ Plot Overview: After a hostage situation gone bad, Tate(Steve Austin) and his SWAT team are sent back to do basic training but when they are caught in the middle of a gang war and with no live ammo, things go bad real fast.

General:

Overall: I will never rate a movie either a 1 or a 10 just to decrease its rank. I will only rank movies based on what I genuinely think they should be ranked. That being said, this is one of the worst movies I've watched in the past few years. With the bleak exception of a kind of alright premise(which they drop within the first 40 minutes), there is nothing redeeming to this movie. The acting was atrocious, the story was nonexistent and the action was just awful. The tone is all over the place and the dialogue was depressingly bad. I can genuinely not think of one proper strength of this movie. I just can't. Aside from a premise which is dropped, there isn't anything that I can say kept me watching other than the fact that I was interested if it could become any worse. If this is your standard for quality entertainment and you hold this movie at a rank with 'Die Hard' and 'Judgement Day', then I don't envy you, and I suggest you watch a LOT more movies.

I don't know what type of people will like this other than maybe if you enjoy Steve Austin and if you admire this 'style' of action.

Wouldn't Recommend.

Detailed:

The acting was just all around atrocious. I'm not gonna bother mentioning names *cough* Steve Austin *cough* because I don't deem the majority of them worthy of space in this review. That is how poor they were. To top that off, each and every character was either an archetype or human stereotype, and none of them were even remotely interesting or likable or enjoyable to watch.

There was an idea, buried deep deep down under this trash, that could have made a competent, fun action movie with some quirky characters and cool one liners. This good idea was completely disregarded after maybe 40 minutes and it just becomes a stupid action movie after that. I'm not sure if there was an actual story and that plot overview I wrote above was something I think I made up to flow with the movie because very little time is actually dedicated to it. That would be fine but if there was a semi-competent story, I could have named a strength to the film. The ending was also absolutely absurd. Nothing more needs to be said on the matter. It was awful.

The cinematography can be summed up in THREE words: What. The. Heck. The framing of shots, the editing, the lighting - what were they thinking! I can give credit to Joel Schumacher's dutch angle obsessed 'Batman and Robin' in the cinematography department but even this movie lacks that.

The effects are, to put it in layman's terms, absolutely barbarically god awful. The set design was lazy and generic. The costume design fell into three categories: Cop stereotypes, Russian Stereotypes and Italian stereotypes. That's not a compliment by the way.

The movie's main focus should have been the action. So if little effort went to anything before it, the action should be amazing. Right? Well, logically yes; in reality no. The action was just bad. This movie's exhausted by brain cells and I just don't feel like it deserves anything above Primary school vocabulary.

Another flaw with the film is the tone. Upon hearing the premise of this film, I thought it could be an alright and fun action movie with some witty one liners and clever action. Well I've established the poor action so I'll address the tone. The opening sequence of this film is pretty light hearted and almost fun. Then the movie continues and the tone goes on a roller coaster but, unlike a roller coaster, there's no satisfying climax. The dialogue was terrible. Here's a game: ​Take a shot whenever someone says something racist/sexist/homophobic OR when there is some form of stereotype uses. I guarantee you'll be hospitalised by the half way mark.

1/10

Wouldn't Recommend

Could have been better, but could SERIOUSLY have been worse....

[Gladys_Pym · 8/10 · 2 August 2011]

OK. I'll admit to not really being a Steve Austin fan, but I do like Michael J. Yeah, and Keith Jardine I know, but I didn't recognise any other names, or actors.

It's far fetched. Very. Full of rather silly plot holes. (Like 4 member SWAT teams, etc etc, as other reviewers have said).

BUT. As a (somewhat implausible) action film, it was OK, almost pretty good. The script was good, in places. It's not a spoiler to say, "Wait, I need a line", had me laughing out loud. In fact, several of the lines had me laughing. And either Demitrius (Michael Shanks) was given all the good lines, or he's a SERIOUSLY good comic actor - deadpan, but funny.

So. Far from 100%, and Michael J wasn't given his best moves, but still.

One for the boys, really. And the boys who like action films and aren't too discriminating.

Good for what it is

[movieman_kev · 7/10 · 10 August 2012]

Stone Cold as Tate, leader of a group of comically badass SWAT team, has his team having to do training exercises in an abandoned warehouse after the chief doesn't care for their comically badass shenanigans in a recent hostage situation. Once there they find themselves dealing with unexpected mobsters without bullets.

This film is ridiculous with a capital R, but it's also entertaining in a b-grade, brainless popcorn action flick, a genre that has sadly been on a steady decline since the glorious '80's (talking about quantity not necessarily quality). This is an unrepentant action movie with no pretenses and I can appreciate that.

No Talent Director Makes Crappy Film Even More Crappy

[chuckchuckchuckwalters · 1/10 · 19 August 2012]

I like action films. I like smart ones like Heat but I also enjoy brainless action films like Con Air. This film, at its very best, could never have been a Con Air. The concept is too thin, the stakes too low, the writing too weak.

That being said, it might have been a forgettable 6 out of 10. Instead, Adamo Paolo Cultraro manages to take a weak concept and reduce it into such a lousy, awful, painful piece of crap that I would give anything for my time back. The photography sucks. The camera angels suck. The lighting sucks. Every line is delivered flat. The acting is really, really awful. Every artistic and technical choice that can be made on a film is made as wrong as can be.

I accidentally saw Adamo Cultraro's other film. I didn't realize it was his. He has shown some growth from his first film; budget growth. He hasn't shown any artistic growth. He is the kind of talentless SoCal idiot who jiggles a camera and thinks he's making The Third Man. The rest of his talentless crew would have more dignity if they'd worked on a soft-core porn shoot.

Steve Austin why do you make such awful films? You have enough clout to surround yourself with better than this! This is so awful it makes 1980's action films by Van Damme look brilliant by comparison!

Your time would be better spent scrubbing that stain in the guest bedroom.

Great Movie, Not For Those Who Think It's Serious

[sntrydesigns · 3 August 2011]

A great movie with some notable actors that was pulled off well. I think some may have seen this movie and thought it to be a serious film in t he likes of S.W.A.T. (Jackson, Farrell, 2003), however, this film I think is intended to take a more comical side, while still focusing on action and story. It does a great job at setting up the characters as a team, and showing you how well they can work together. Unlike other S.W.A.T. or Police themed movies this one does not confuse you with all sorts of law enforcement lingo and the like, but immerses you into the world of Law Enforcement in a mild, and progressively more serious manner.

I did see the twist coming to a point, however I don't think it was a dead giveaway. And again, I'd like to point out that this is neither a fully blown COMEDY or POLICE THRILLER, but instead a satirical police themed action film, in close similarity to Hot Fuzz (Pegg, Frost, 2007). I think the overall idea behind this film, and those like it, is to build a relationship with the main characters that will, by the end of the film, make you want to see a Part II. This film does that, and does that well.

Eat my Grandma?......

[FlashCallahan · 2/10 · 27 November 2011]

Buff SWAT team mess up a store robbery for some reason (maybe they didn't fire enough bullets) and have to do some training at an abandoned warehouse.

Little do they know there is some deal going down by some really annoying bad guys who think it's cool to swear a lot and point guns at each other because the maker of the movie thinks this will make them look more menacing.

When one of the SWAT team gets killed, this vexes Jai White, Austin, and the Woman and they decide to save the day.

This is one of those movie that tries to be like the action movies of the late eighties/early nineties ad fails miserably.

After seeing Black Dynamite, I couldn't believe how bad Jai White was in this.

I could understand it from the rest of the cast, but he was the predominant reason why I was even considering this movie.

Ther film is filled with unintentionally funny dialogue, and it all feels like it's rushed, and it look cheap.

All in all, I wasn't expecting much, and I didn't get much.

Absolute garbage- would give negative stars if I could

[aidendelpino · 1/10 · 22 June 2013]

This is honestly the worst movie I've ever seen. The only realistic part of this movie is their uniforms. "Stone Cold" Steve Austin is the worst actor I have ever seen in my entire life. I've seen zombies played better than he plays a SWAT team leader. It's not funny, even though it's apparently supposed to be. The action sucks and is corny. My cat could have sat on a computer keyboard and written a better script for this movie. The producers, actors, writers, cinematographers, 'stunt' people, and everyone involved with this 'movie' should be ashamed. If you want to watch a real action movie with good lines, real actors, and real action, watch S.W.A.T. with Collin Ferrel, Samuel L. Jackson, Michelle Rodriguez, and L.L. Cool J. "Tactical Force?" The title even sounds like a cop playset you'd buy at the dollar store, complete with little plastic handcuffs. This movie is a disgrace.

OK action flick

[ctomvelu1 · 5/10 · 24 September 2012]

Clever story line has a SWAT team training in an old hangar, only to cross paths with not one, but two gangs who are also inside the hangar, looking for a particular container. Problem for the SWAT people: All they have with them are blanks while the bad guys are armed to the teeth. Michael Jai White and Steve Austin co-star. Fast-moving, with lots of fights and running gun battles. Some comic moments, which help. The big showdown near the end is all too predictable, and Austin isn't required to do much acting (he was much better in "Damage"), but this is a passable video on all other counts. The luscious Lexa Doig is along for the ride.

Worth a look

[deannie-98983 · 7/10 · 4 April 2019]

If you enjoy action movies, gratuous violence you will enjoy this flick. Steve Austin & Michael Jai. White in the same movie. Just the right amount of smart ass remarks to make me laugh..."Eat my grandma" is one such line...

I really want to give this movie a zero...

[lfagius-36380 · 1/10 · 23 July 2021]

One...of...the...worst...action...movies...ever. I held out until Michael Shanks showed up. That was disappointing. Who wrote and directed this? Unbelievablely AWFUL. Bad dialog, actors just phoning it in, cheesy action sequence, g*d awful directing. So boring, I fell asleep.

OMG! THEY KILLED KENNY!

[nogodnomasters · 6/10 · 19 July 2018]

In the battle of Austin and Seagal I have come to believe Austin is the better actor. The movie starts out improbable as a gang of men in masks, rob a grocery store, take hostages and issue demands. A grocery store? Now I know they get robbed, but by a gang who has to share the loot? SWAT team leader Austin ignores proper police protocol and raids the place, killing the thieves, injuring the hostages, and doing huge amounts of property damage. To their surprise they are not rewarded, but are forced to take SWAT team training again. Michael Jai White, a young Carl Weathers with a BB gun is part of the team. Lexa Doig is a third member.

The upstairs of an abandoned(?) warehouse is set up with paper "bad guys" for the SWAT team to practice with simulation rounds. As fate would have it, two rival gangs are in the downstairs of the warehouse wanting "a case" which was stolen from them. One of the rival gangs learned to speak with bad Russian accents. I was waiting for one of them to say, "What about moose and squirrel."

The dialouge was mildly humorous at times, a step up from Austin's other movies. The plot left much to be desired. There were no real plot twists except at the very end...and then it didn't make much sense.

If you like Steve Austin movies, I think this was one of his better ones.

F-bomb, no sex. no nudity, no moose or squirrel.

bad movie

[lootinho10 · 2/10 · 21 July 2012]

first of all from the start the movie was just so bad the they need to fix the video the camera was moving and laging it didn't seem like they had the best camera guy that kind of ruined the whole movie it seemed like it would of been a good movie it had some good scenes if the camera just wasn't so bad thats why i gave this movie rating a 1 they should remake the movie it seemed like they were in a hurry to get it done it looked like a youtube video i think its not worth it to own the movie or even rent it i turned it off after the first scene where they come to breach the shopping store so out of everything i gave this movie a 2 out of ten as you could see the camera just ruined the whole thing even though it looked like they would have some pretty good scenes if the camera was stable it was like the documentary filming so i would not pay for this movie or even watch it not a good movie.

i loved the movie

[invister123 · 10/10 · 16 August 2011]

I expected absolutely nothing out of this movie. It was 2AM, I couldn't sleep so I started watching this movie, hoping it would make me sleep, but things went other way around totally.

The beginning wasn't impressive, I thought the actors are pretty much suckers. But when the story started to take shape, it became interesting.

The plot is good. No one would have imagined that unarmed SWAT guys could have to face a real action at their training camp. The Italian guy was good. And the most impressive role was of Kenny's. He killed all the scenes.

Overall it was a good movie for me. I am a fan of Steve Austin AKA Stone Cold. Director was successful at keeping the physical fights short, because everyone knows that physical action never lasts more than 2 minutes unless it's a superhero.

I'm shocked to see the ratings of this movie. It should have been rated more than 6.5. ANyway nice movie.

OMG! THEY KILLED KENNY!

[martyscasino · 2/10 · 10 December 2019]

Watching this movie before a Steven Segal movie will make Steve's movies look like Oscar material. I like cheesy action flicks, but, Delta Farce is better than this!!
