Jenna Walter The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
utgard14 Crappy Chuck-Fu movie has Chuck Norris playing the head of security for a Jewish casino owner who's like a father to him. Ruthless types want to buy the man's casino but he doesn't want to sell. So they rub him out. What's a mustachioed hero to do but take matters into his own hands? I'm not a huge fan of Norris' early face-kicking movies. I much prefer his shoot 'em-ups. But there is some good cheesy value to some of them. This one has some "so bad it's good" qualities but not enough ultimately. It's kind of boring and none of the action is all that impressive. Not to mention the whole thing looks to be shot on a dollar store budget.
videorama-759-859391 I must be honest here. Forced Vengeance is one of the most idiotic and amateurish pieces of crap I've seen, back in the day where Chuckie sported a moustache and had red hair. He plays an orphaned brother, extracting revenge on the people responsible for killing his foster brother and Dad, who were running this great casino business, but these evil developers had put the squeeze on em'. While small Daddy, defied the baddies after rejecting their proposal, he and son (who was for it) paid the ultimate price. Some people are just plain stubborn. I guess it's a matter of principal. If you want loads of action, you'll get it here. If you want logic, go somewhere else. Of course, as always, Chuck's close friend, a ex vet buddy is killed. When his beautiful girlfriend is raped and killed, now the real vengeance begins, that Chuckies sends forth, and we love it. The film has a very amateurish and slapdash script, as if the dialogue came as the movie went along, some moments of it, become unintentionally funny. Main reason- absurd dialogue. Here's a stupid line for ya, as I feel I must tell you. This is just after father Pascal, has told baddie, Ramondi to go jump. This is Ramondi's reactive dialogue. "I know, but expand or die, that's (something else... "). Oh, and the acting, don't even get me started on the acting. This is like Chuck isn't even acting. This is like a just do it as you go, not even half baked flick. I did love Chucks's line where he put a homosexual mate of one the baddies into some heating contraption. "Sleep tight, sweet cheeks. You could of been a toasted marshmellow." It's great, seeing Chuckie, galavanting all over San Francisco, on the kill, readily disposing of scum, with a non repentence, much like a robot, and that's what he is. He hardly shows any range of emotions, if any, and this could well be one of the worst performances of his life, in one of the worst films he's ever done. Truly, FV, is one the most amateurish, unprofessional flicks, I've ever seen, all the way, which is a shame, given the beautiful surrounds this flick is shot. It's sloppy wrapped up ending, is just another laugh of unbelief. True to life words, have Chuckie saying to that gay badman. "Bravest man I knew was a homosexual"
Maziun I understand that most of Norris movies aren't good . I like some of them . Sometimes you just meet yourself a movie when nothing is good . And I mean NOTHING.Here we have a movie where Chuck Norris has to avenge his boss – the owner of casino . I don't think I'm spoiling anything here. Anyway basically the whole movie is like this : Norris beats a bad guy , then he asks him "Did you order to kill my boss", the answer is no and the bad guy gives our hero a location of other bad guy . Norris goes there , beats him , asks the question and the whole thing repeats . It will take many bad guys and many minutes of boredom before Norris will meet the final boss , kill him and the movie will end.I don't mind a simple revenge movie , if it's done right. This one isn't . It's boring like hell. The only thing interesting are the silhouettes fighting near the neon signs. I give it 1/10.
CitizenCaine Bigger budgeted than his previous films, Chuck Norris stars in this Far East action film set in Hong Kong. He's a casino security chief investigating the hits on his employer. The plot is OK for a Norris film and the on location shooting in Hong Kong helps a lot. The film attempts to mimic the Bond films with its soundtrack and title sequence. The script falls far short of a Bond film however. There is very little humor, a lot of tedious chase sequences, and a formulaic execution of the plot. The villains are not even that formidable, except for the huge strong arm guy near the end. The fight sequences are usually very short and abrupt and some are in slow motion for some inexplicable reason. There's even a bit of female nudity thrown in for good measure. For some reason, Norris is always watchable, even though the scripts usually fall far short of being good. The biggest failing in here is that Norris does it all on his own; the supporting cast seems to be around only to fill screen time between fights. Therefore Norris' weaknesses are maximized. The part where he dons his military uniform to kick some more ass is downright absurd, and what's with the pointless voice over narration? It's all sort of entertaining in a hokey sort of way. ** of 4 stars.
