Info

Seagal stars as mob kingpin Mr. Alexander, an old-school boss who rules his criminal empire with both nobility and brutality. For a simple prison hit, he sends his best enforcer and protégé Roman Hurst (Foster). When the hit goes wrong, Hurst is forced to pay the price of his failure: banishment in the city that he almost once ruled. But a war is brewing for the soul of the city between Alexander, a cold-blooded gangster known as 'The Iceman" (Rhames) and a merciless Mexican cartel. Hurst, with the help of an ex-con restaurant owner (Trejo) who has a few hidden moves of his own, will rediscover his own will to survive the coming conflict and to wreak vengeance on those who have wronged him.

Force of Execution Audience Reviews

Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
Uriah43 This movie concerns a former government assassin by the name of "Alexander Coates" (Steven Seagal) who has decided to relocate to Albuquerque, New Mexico and start his own criminal business there. After and long and successful career he now considers retiring but finds that another ambitious crook by the name of "Ice Man" (Ving Rhames) wants to take over and has no intention of letting Alexander leave gracefully. Likewise, another minor crime boss named "Constantine" (Ivan G'Vera) also wants a piece of his business as well. Therefore, realizing that war is just around the corner, Alexander calls out to a former, down-on-his-luck protégé named "Roman Hurst" (Bren Foster) to help him out. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought this was a fairly good movie overall with plenty of action to keep things moving along at a reasonably fast pace. Admittedly, it's not a great movie by any means but it managed to keep my attention just the same. On a side note, I should probably mention that this movie has a prequel by the title of "A Good Man" which might be of interest to those who enjoy films of this type. In any case, I rate this film as slightly above average.
The_Phantom_Projectionist After a relatively high publicity run, things are sort of looking down for Steven Seagal: not only is he receiving criticism for his partnerships with Joe Arpaio and Vladimir Putin, but his UFC protégé Anderson Silva seems to be publicly distancing himself from the Buddhist Bonecrusher. Seagal's in need of a good movie like few times before, and luckily he's gotten one in FORCE OF EXECUTION. I'm genuinely surprised by how much I like this film, which may very well be the most action-packed flick Seagal has done in quite some time. It's not nearly perfect and it isn't even really a vehicle for the man, but I predict that a lot of fans and action devotees in general will like this one.The story: an emerging crime lord (Ving Rhames) prepares for a bloody street war with the established kingpin (Seagal). In the middle of this, a former protégé of the latter (Bren Foster) - maimed and cast out for a past failure - must decide whether he will play a part in the violence to come.Seagal seems really into his role: he tries for an accent again, but more notably has the tone and personality of the antihero down pat, as though he prepared for the part with a Coppola marathon. He's matched in presence by Ving Rhames, who can do these tough guy roles in his sleep but doesn't phone in his performance at all. Danny Trejo is here as well, playing the grizzled owner of a diner, but the real star of the movie is in fact Bren Foster. Graduating from his supporting part in MAXIMUM CONVICTION, Foster soundly steals the show out from under his better-known costars and makes the movie his own by being not only an impressive martial artist but also a surprisingly adept actor, turning his portions of the plot into generally the most interesting ones.Director Keoni Waxman seems to be the preferred filmmaker of Seagal these days, much to my chagrin since I'm not a huge fan of any of the work they've done together, but he redeems himself by not only directing a better-made movie in this, but also a more interesting one. There are some of those annoying DTV slights that we've had to get used to - Seagal's dialog being dubbed here and there, scenes between characters wherein the actors were clearly never in the same room, etc. - but they appear to a lesser extent than expected. The writing is also better than one might expect, with more character development scenes than are the norm for low budget action fare, and occasional weird/cool moments (SPOILER) like when Trejo reveals himself to be a "Mexican witch doctor" and cures Bren Foster's injured hands with live scorpion venom.One of the major complaints among viewers of Seagal's movies of the last ten years is their relatively meager martial arts contents, and "Force of Execution" addresses this qualm with no less than 10 hand-to-hand brawls - 13 if you include the short ones. Thanks to Foster, these may also be the most legitimately athletic fights we've seen in Steven's movies since early in his career. Seagal is more than serviceable for his four tussles, relying less on doubles than in his worst films, and even Ving Rhames mixes things up in a single brawl, but it's Bren's work as both an acrobat and a down-to-earth martial artist who elevates the entire picture. Think Scott Adkins without the gratuitous flipping. The scenes wherein he takes out a hallway full of prison guards and duels escrima guru Ron Balicki with knives are standouts, and should make Seagal consider handing the reins to other martial artists more often in his movies.Speaking of Steven, I have the feeling that he's finally winding down. I may be reading too much into this, but his character alludes more than once to "retiring" and references his age in a negative context as well. In playing the part, he really gives the impression that he feels he ought to be done with this kind of stuff. Seagal is clearly still making movies over a year later, but should he be in the last leg of his race, he definitely started it on the right foot.
becky878 This movie rocks! The quality is way better than most of his films and it has some real star power. Steven isn't even the main good guy. He is a bad guy boss, and he is black Steven Seagal - one of my favorites. The newer the Seagal movie, the more he talks in a nearly offensive black person accent, or what he thinks black people sound like. I don't think he realizes how funny he is. I love Seagal for his comedy as much as his ass-kicking. Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo are great in this movie as well. The dialogue between Steven and Rhames during a few of their scenes is spectacular. I had to rewind a couple scenes because I couldn't understand the jive talk Steven was laying down to Iceman (Ving Rhames). There is a part where someone gets stabbed and then a few scenes later is found bleeding out, and he is just talking normal and smiling with a knife sticking out of his heart. They even use scorpion stings to heal people with voodoo magic because that makes perfect sense. There are just so many amazing scenes that embody the Seagalisms I watch these movies for and it also has the fighting. So it is the best of both types of Steven movies, just without much fighting from Steven. Overall, the action and production quality is way above many Seagal films, and the supporting cast is really good surrounding Steven. You will love the one liners in this one. Very highly recommended!
LeonLouisRicci Steven Seagal's Die Hard Fans will not be Disappointed in this, one of the Better DTV Movies that the Complex Seagal has made in a Long Time. It has a Number of Things going. It is set in the USA, has Three Co-Stars that are Entertaining, and the Lesser Known of the Three, Bren Foster is a Handsome, Athletic, Martial Arts Expert that is all the Buzz as an Action Star Protégé. Seagal Still has Time to Lose some Weight and Hire a Dialog Coach, go into some Deep Meditation and Recover the Self-Esteem, Dignity, and Angst that made Him a Bonafide, Kick-Ass, Soft-Spoken Anti-Hero that had All the Right Stuff.This One Shows Some Signs but the Aikido Master is Still a Long Way Off from Redeeming Himself for all the Hurt He has Caused HIs Long Suffering but Still Loyal Fans. It is Odd Enough with Danny Trejo, Ving Rhames, and a Pinch of the Supernatural to Recommend for the Seagalists, B-Movie Action Fans, Martial Arts Aficionados, and Anyone with a High Tolerance for this Type of Thing.
