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'!

I've looked at a lot of reviews for 'Force of Execution' and they would have you believe that it's an absolute classic. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting Shakespeare. I knew I'd be letting myself in for a B-movie with stars from yesteryear, however, all I got was a pretty sub-standard affair.The story is all over the place with one scene after the next depicting one gangland hit after the next. Steven Segal phones in his performance and Ving Rhames just grunts all the way through it (and don't get me started on his 'fighting abilities'!).In short, this story is a mess. The settings chop and change from one location to another, never really linking together the overall tale, let alone leaving any space for the audience to care about any of the one-dimensional characters.Yes, I know it's a B-movie, but I was hoping for it to be entertaining. Sadly, this one's better left off everyone concerned's C.V.http://thewrongtreemoviereviews.blogspot.co.uk/

I can't agree more with the review from this user Mike S from NY. He summarized everything quite well. Just when I thought I've seen the worst of Steven Seagal throughout the years, he shocked me again with this "masterpiece(of-crap)". He should not even call himself an actor or martial artist.It's amazing that Seagal can get this low at the end of his career. Come-on? Haven't you made enough money in these many years to stop insulting viewers with this kind of trash?What more shocking to me was who could finance this kind of movie and hope for a return for their money? Why don't you start watching some of the Korean movies? I won't be surprised that they will take a huge bite out of Hollywood market-share in the future.Movies like this should never be made in the first place. It is absolutely garbage.

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.
