'Force of Execution' is A Brutal Gang-War Flick, that delivers a punch. Its flawed, no doubt, but at most parts, I was engaged.
'Force of Execution' Synopsis: A crime lord is torn between his legacy and his desire to get out of the life of crime that has built his empire, when a new player to the scene tries to use the town anti-hero's network to climb to power. Havoc Ensures..
'Force of Execution' has an awesome first-hour, where the brutality & the intensity arrests you. But, sadly, the second-hour doesn't engross as much. There is just too much going on in this hour & the twists & turns, wear you out. The climax brings back the energy & leaves an impact. How I wish the second-hour remained as powerful as the first-hour!
Richard Beattie & Michael Black's Screenplay is fast-paced, but needed to be stronger in the latter hour. Keoni Waxman's Direction is good. Action-Sequences are awesome.
Performance-Wise: Steven Seagal is in top-from here. Its so good to see the Action Icon cast in a Grey Shaded role, that gives the actor in him some scope to perform. Ving Rhames is perfectly menacing. Danny Trejo does his bit well. Bren Foster is the Star of the show. This guy has all the tapping's to become a major action hero in the coming time. He's got the stuff!
On the whole, 'Force of Execution' weights higher on pluses & hence, it works.
