"Rogue Force" delivers what it promises, and then some. You would be pressed to find more action per minute in a movie. While character development is minimal, obviously some thought went into the script, and that overcomes somewhat the undeveloped characters. Special mention must be made of the excellent, creative camera work, which greatly enhances the film. Michael Rooker, and Robert Patrick are both believable as the leads, while the supporting cast is merely adequate, and mostly just "cannon fodder". There are a few surprises along the way to the bang-up conclusion. If you enjoy action films, especially those with outrageous body counts, I highly recommend "Rogue Force". - MERK

Well, this is what you get for fishing movies out of the bin. I didn't pay much for the DVD so I guess no real harm was done. I kind of had (high) hopes when I purchased this disc because the movie had Michael Rooker and Robert Patrick in it. I mean, how bad can it be with those two together in one movie? Sadly neither Michael Rooker or Robert Patrick could save this extremely dull and boring film. Watching this I felt like doing something useful, like, jump out of my bed and do a few sit-ups or something. Yep, that's how boring ROGUE FORCE was. On the plus side, ROGUE FORCE looks decent for a movie of this type and one can see that technically some effort went into it. However, it's lacking heart and soul and that's a serious cinematic crime and a big no-no. Final verdict: not worthy.

I really enjoyed this film having caught it on Channel 5. Both times it was on I missed the start.Please note this film was also known as "Six Angry Men" over here in the UK.Michael Rooker is a really underrated actor and this is another underrated film. It's as hard as nails. SWAT Cops kill bad guys, FBI HRT Kill SWAT Cops not before lots of SWAT Cops kill cops and FBI Guys.You have to see this movie its as Rooker is as hard as nails and Patrick is the perfect choice for the leader of bad guys. This film will have you on the edge of your seat all the way through."Your Honour, I rest my case." Drugstore-Cowboy 02

Let me begin by saying that I'm not one of those that goes around commenting on every movie I've ever seen. I hardly watch movies, mainly due to the fact that so many times they are so predictable. This is why I love Rogue Force.Simply put, this movie will turn out quite differently than you expect. The director builds up each character as if they are going to play a large part in the movie and then terminates all of them except one in the last few minutes of the movie. When one of the main characters die, there's no sad music played or anything, the movie just moves on to show the next character getting killed. You've gotta love that.I really developed a hatred for Diane DiLascio, who is just an ordinary street cop that saves Michael Rooker, the elite FBI agent, repeatedly. The first time I watched it, I knew that she and Michael Rooker were going to fall in love. Typical Hollywood. However, I was pleasantly surprised when she is killed violently and Michael Rooker doesn't even seem to care. He just says "She's dead! Leave her!" and thats it. Wow!!The SWAT team tactics appear to be very authentic, and always leave me wanting to play Rainbow Six or SWAT 3 on the computer. The sniper scene is the best, where the sniper and his spotter make bets about whether he can hit his targets or not. This is undoubtedly my favorite movie ever, although it doesn't really appeal to a large number of people because the love story never develops and the ending leaves you hanging. However, if you like random violence and a plot that is atypical of the Hollywood cheese factory then you'll like it.
