Steven Seagal (Shadow Man Black Dawn) is back in this high-octane action thriller! When Marshall Lawson (Seagal) loses his strike-team in a cold-blooded and seemingly random attack he takes it upon himself to investigate the suspicious circumstances of the brutal killings. Soon he uncovers CTX Majestic a covert military operation so secret that now the military wants Marshall eliminated. Resolute in his pursuit Marshall engages in a merciless battle with a drug dealer operation that appears to be secretly funded by a rogue arm of the military.System Requirements:Run Time: 90 minsFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating:Â R UPC:Â 043396147911 Manufacturer No:Â 14791

Summary: Can't Force Me To Watch It Again
Comment: Traditionally, reaction to Steven Seagal's DTV releases is a mixed bag: while films like "Belly of the Beast" and "Urban Justice" have garnered some fine reviews, outings like "The Foreigner" and "Out for a Kill" gathered mainly exclamations of distaste and disappointment. Basically, each of Seagal's films has its fans, no matter how bad it is. However, I think it's safe to say that the least-loved feature of the aging action star is found in "Attack Force": a sloppy, long-winded mess that highlights just about all of our hero's current faults and inefficiencies.
Trying to explain the plot (much less understand it) is a chore within itself, so here's the barest rendition: Seagal is the leader of a military strike team that gets wiped out after visiting a club in Paris; the prostitute who kills them is on a new kind of drug called CTX that turns people into violent superhumans. Upon investigating the attack, Seagal finds out that CTX is funded by the military, which is ready to kill him for knowing. Seagal must evade assassination whilst leading another team to stop the drug from being released into the city's water supply.
Like I mentioned before, the film encompasses everything that critics like to sneer at Seagal for: in addition to the plot that quickly descends into something totally incomprehensible, the film's production is inexcusably poor, the choreography is lacklustre, and Seagal is out-of-shape, uninspired in his acting, and has large portions of his voice dubbed by another actor.
That last aspect is what really breaks the movie: in the past, small segments of the aikido master's dialogue have been voiced over in post-production, but in "Attack Force", roughly one-third of the film sees Seagal's lines being dubbed by a voice that sounds only vaguely like him. This is done so obviously (even when Seagal is in clear sight and his lips do not match the words heard by audiences) that casual viewers will begin to wonder what the heck is going on (rumours persist that this is the case because the film went through a significant change in storyline after Seagal's scenes were shot; the original plot supposedly featured Seagal battling aliens).
So, with a storyline that few will be able to follow and a star who is not speaking for himself, we fall back on a handful of braindead action scenes (more gunfights than martial arts), a supporting cast that never believes in the script in the first place, sets so consistently dark that viewers who keep watching will end up depressed, and Seagal feeding his ego by smooching Lisa "Tia" Lovnrand, who looks to be about thirty years younger than him.
Needless to say, this is probably the lowest that Seagal can afford to sink before even small-name studios stop putting him in their films. Watching a film like "Attack Force" can make you wonder if this is really the same man whose most successful film grossed over $156 million fifteen years ago, and who has rubbed shoulders with the likes of Tommy Lee Jones and Kurt Russell. "Attack Force" is by no means a must-watch, even for Seagal fans, and it is sure to grace the collections of only the most die-hard of devotees.

Summary: The old LSD in the water supply...
Comment: It appears Steven Seagal's formula action movie isn't very popular.
Designer drugs that alter DNA and make monsters out of the people
are fought here by a special commando team. The government turns on the
team and the drug experimenters put the results of their experiments
in the water supply.
In the end there is a very bloody fight with knives...
and the government again backs the team, while the Green Hornet and Kato
escape.

Summary: what happened
Comment: I am now wondering why Steven Seagal is having to have his voice dubbed in the movie. I thought I had the wrong language track when watching the movie. The actor who did the dubbing for Seagal sounds nothing like him. I just started watching this movie. Hopefully Seagal will make a comeback.

Summary: A Giant Wild Free-Ranging TURKEY!!!
Comment: This is indisputably one of the biggest TURKEYS ever made. Horrible! A lot of Seagal's voice is dubbed in by another actor and is very disruptive and laughable. Seagal phoned into his performance from the other side of the world. I've already spent too much of my valuable time writing about this complete waste of film.
