More serious than it should have been

Director Joe Carnahan opts for an action thriller that seeks to find its own path, which ends up being a much more serious film than it should be and becomes a very uncharismatic film, despite the good attempts of the cast to float everything.The survival of this family of mercenaries has some good moments that largely keep the film afloat. However, we're left with a rather glaring lack of action, replaced by drama that's far more overused than the story really needed. Leading duo Kerry Washington and Omar Sy do a great job at this point, giving their all to their characters, and we as viewers can feel for them.Then we have a group of supporting characters who have their moments, but don't really stand out. The same goes for the villain of the film, who, while he has his moments, doesn't feel as rounded as one would like.The reality is that we're faced with a film that doesn't offer much new, and with that, we don't find anything that makes it stand out from other similar films. It has a cast that's engaged, but it's completely wasted. It has a story that didn't need to be so serious when it came to presenting us with the emotional depths of its protagonists, and in the end, we're left with a film that works as a momentary diversion. For those who enjoy this style of film, for those looking for something much more revolutionary, the truth is that Shadow Force falls far short of all that.

"It's the booty-boobies song, dad!"

Former covert assassins on the run, fighting to eliminate those who won't let them live in peace.I'm all in for a group of villainous assassins, and professional mercs! But here, most of these characters don't even have personalities.. much less memorable quirks. The leads work for their respective roles, but aren't particularly charismatic. I do think there's just too much French (for some reason), and the developments aren't particularly exciting. Nothing jumps out, nor stays with you.Still, the film is quite competent, and a well acted and executed story of elements already done in the past.. a lot. This time, there's a child involved in the mix.Kind of hard to recommend, knowing how average it is.

Could've Been Great

This movie has a good premise, a very good and capable cast, and even had a decent script. However, the directing was absolutely terrible, making many B movies look Oscar-worthy. It took forever to get going. In fact, it was so slow getting going that I nodded off - twice - during the first half hour. A perfect example of a production suffering from a writer who should stick to writing and leave the directing to someone else. Kerry Washington is good and even believable as an action star, with moments of Olivia Pope shining through. Da'vine was a great surprise, too.My suggestion is wait to watch it when it starts streaming - for free.
