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.

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 * 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.

Steve Austin and Michael Jai White definitely have the stuff to be B movie stars, but they need to take care when it comes to choosing the right B movie projects. "Tactical Force" isn't a step in the right direction. While this is far from the worst movie I have seen, there isn't much in this movie that makes it worth seeking out. There are a number of sloppy touches to be found - dark and murky photography, locations (filmed in Canada) that were clearly not the American locations the movie claimed to be, plus a surprising number of unclear moments where it seems that footage was missing or was never filmed in the first place. Also, the movie has a lot less action than you may think it has, and none of the action is particularly involving. The script has the occasional witty line, but its sense of humor is not enough to save the entire film. This movie should only be watched when you can see it for free, and you can't find anything better to watch.

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.

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.

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.

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.
