Customer Reviews:
The best action film of 1993.......2005-03-08
You have the right to remain silent... PERMANENTLY. A hard-hitting action thriller about a renegade cop who'll do whatever it takes to get the job done. When $3 Million disappears during a drug bust, undercover cop Terry McCain is pitted against a sadistic mob boss. After McCain's partner is brutally murdered and his ex-wife is threatened, he strikes back the only way he knows how... with force!!!! This is an awesome action film. This film is packed with NO- HOLDS- BARRED- ACTION!!!!! If you like martial-arts and are a Thomas Ian Griffith fan (like me). This film won't dissapoint you. This is his best flim since The Karate Kid part 3. KK3 is the best KK film.
FORCEFUL ENTRY.......2005-01-17
It's rare in some of these action films for the lead actor to have also written the script, and it's even rarer when it comes out this well. Thomas Ian Griffith who plays the lead role of Terry McCain also wrote the script and served as the film's producer. He plays a sort of loose cannon cop who uses "excessive force" in trying to get the goods on mafia leader Burt Young (Rocky). When his partners Dylan (Tom Hodges) and Frankie (Candyman's Tony Todd) are killed in retribution, McCain finds himself a target. There's the usual dirty cop syndrome, but Griffith's script is tight and has some pretty good surprises along the way. Lance Henriksen plays soon to be police chief and Griffith's boss, and gives his usual sturdy performance. Charlotte Lewis appears as Anna, Griffith's estranged love interest, and James Earl Jones (Great White Hope) steps out of his Darth Vader shoes to play quite nicely Griffith's mentor and buddy. Director Jon Hess keeps the action moving nicely and there are some good kickboxing/fight sequences. All in all, a well done actioner, and probably should have been more noticed during its theatrical release.
GRIFFITH'S BEST SINCE KARATE KID III.......2004-02-05
Action superstar Thomas Ian Griffith takes on evil Italians and corrupt cops in this edge-of-your seat thriller. In perhaps his best role of all time, Griffith crafts a fascinating character unlike any ever seen before: a cop frustrated with his work and alienated from his wife. When Griffith uses excessive force to get a confession, a web of intruige and sinister alliances is slowly revealed to him. The film also features a supporting cast of seasoned veterans such as James Earl Jones and Lance Henriksen who both deliver solid performances. With plot twists you will never see coming, touching moments which will leave you in tears and the one of best guitar-solo and saxophone soundtracks ever written - not to mention explosive, glass-breaking karate action, "Excessive Force" is a 90 minute visual feast of pure adrenaline! A must-see film for any fan of good cinema.
Shoulda Been A Star.......2004-01-13
Good action movie. I actually saw this in the theater(yes, it did have a theatrical release!) back in the day. This was about the time when cheap action and horror films were starting to disappear from theaters. Excessive Force would be straight to video if released today. Pity, coz it's pretty fun. Thomas Ian Griffth never became the next Seagal or VanDamme-something the producers were obviously trying to do with him-but he really does the action tough guy thing wonderfully. He even had a hand in the script. He's got the look and the moves, he's even a decent actor. He went on to do some direct to video action pics, and played the lead vampire in John Carpenter's Vampires. You may also remember him as one of the villians from Karate Kid III(the guy who teaches Daniel how to break noses). Other than that, the guy is virtually unknown. The plot doesn't offer anything groundbreaking in terms of cops/robbers action, but it's a cliched film done well. It's got a better than average supporting cast of James Earl Jones, Lance Henriksen, Tony Todd(the Candyman himself!), and Burt Young(Paulie from the Rocky movies). These guys must have also seen potential of the script to want to appear in it. Good supporting actors, a good script, and a good performance from the lead raise this otherwise by-the-numbers action movie up a few notches to something quite entertaining.
Well it's about time.......2003-08-19
This is one of those good action flicks in a long list that have taken way too long to make the DVD transfer. This is quite possibly an action fan's best introduction to Thomas Ian Griffith. Once you become acquainted with this film, you will soon realize just how underutilized this man is in the Hollywood Action scene. He combines impressive moves with decent acting chops and just comes across as a pretty cool cat. In addition, this was a fresh action film. It didn't rely on lead spraying alone. Character developement and a few twists combined with awesome casting--James Earl Jones, among other familiar and welcome faces--was obviously important in the overall spectrum of this movie. It wasn't just thrown together. We get a cop who winds up caught in the crossfire of the shadey politics of his own police precinct, finding himself alone in the struggle with no one to trust after his partner is brutily murdered. This film poses the question, "how well do you know your friends?" This is one you can share with fellow action fans that may not have had the pleasure of viewing. Griffith's movies are few and far apart but they're all worth watching. Support this man! I'm looking forward to seeing his work on the sequel to Timecop.

Highly recommended ... to be reproduced.......2004-12-13
The film has a nice idea, I knew it as soon as I saw its poster. S.W.A.T vs. HRT, what a brilliant action sequence would be seen in the film! But it failed. The producer had to write it out that real SWAT members and tactics were showed in this movie, or I would not know that!
There was 1 out of the 3 stars for the idea.
Great Movie.......2003-06-26
This is one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. The movie really shows the tactics of real life SWAT operations and is a nice change from most other movies. Trust me, this movie is a must own for any SWAT fan.
A diamond in the rough!.......2003-05-25
I happened across this film one day when I was bored, and decided to rent a few movies at the local big name video rental store. I do this from time to time, that is, rent unknown films to see how they are. I was REALLY surprised.
The film involves an FBI investigation of possible vigilante cops. A bunch of slime are being killed on the streets in what appears to be military-style executions. The opening scene shows exactly what I mean, as a drug-lord/pornographer and his gang are wiped out by a group of MP5-toting paramilitaries, who turn out to be SWAT cops.
The acting is excellent, and the action sequences are top-notch. I can't believe this wasn't released for the theatres. It would have probably done well. Michael Rooker and several other fairly well-known actors make up an excellent cast.
I purchased the DVD when it was available, but alas, is now out of print. If it becomes available, I would suggest that anyone get a copy, you won't be disappointed.
Rogue Force.......2002-10-26
An amazing piece of work. It is uncanny how much more impressive movies that actually pay attention to tactics and methods used by law enforcement are than your standard hollywood flic. Great fight scenes, perhaps a slightly stale plot but the sheer brilliance of the action sequences makes it a must own.
CounterForce.......2002-10-01
This movie covered all the aspects of a action thriller. We had a good story line, nice action shots, and of course, a heck of a finale.

YAWNER .......2005-01-19
Based on a true story (?), this rather boring little "thriller" features the screenwriter Steven Owsley in the lead role of J.B. Thornton, a down and out lawyer who is recruited to put a Deathwish kind of cop in jail for his brand of justice. Richard Tyson plays Thomas Carruth, a cop who decides that if the courts can't put criminals behind bars, he'll do it. Tyson, who came to prominence in the steamy B thriller TWO MOON JUNCTION, overplays his Buford Pusser like cop with enough gusto to fill three movies; trouble is, he's about as convincing as a lumbering drunk. Owsley is earnest, but he'd better stick to screenwriting (although his screenplay is full of cliches and plot holes); he plays Thornton on one level, and when he "impersonates" other people, he's like a character out of Fractured Fairy Tales; way too much. Michelle Stafford as his new "associate" tries to be a new Marg Helgensberger, but her limitations are obvious; even Robert Vaughn as a crooked judge with little screen time is pale and pedestrian.
LETHAL FORCE plods along, with little suspense and its ending is abruptly anticlimactic.
An unimpressive failure.
