(Credit, IMDb) A training exercise for the LAPD SWAT Team goes terribly wrong when they find themselves pitted against two rival gangs while trapped in an abandoned Hangar, armed with nothing but blanks.I really wish Stone Cold would choose better projects. He's incredibly charismatic, and the greatest superstar of all time. I have no idea why he succumbs to this sort of thing. There is barely any action in this movie, which is something that might seem shocking, considering Michael Jai White is in this movie as well. I don't remember much about this movie. I saw it when it first came out on DVD. I do remember that it throws in some twists and turns in the finale, and it had no impact on me what so ever. I'm not sure what they were going for it, but it's nothing more than a generic police film that lacks excitement and action3/10

When you've got a former wrestler in a starring credit you know you're not going to be watching Oscar nominated material. Likewise when you've got a premise that sounds very similar to the Walter Hill movie TRESPASS you're not going in to a movie with expectations , but to give it its due TACTICAL FORCE never really becomes a tactical farce eitherThe best point about the movie is its likable good guys with Steve Austin playing Tate who leads his small SWAT in to a heap of trouble involving two gangs of mobsters , one Italian and one Russian . The SWAT team aren't played or written with great believability but that's not really a criticism since we the audience are supposed to like them more than we can believe in them If there's a problem then it's to do with the tone of the film where one scene somebody is cruelly killed followed by a tongue in cheek line or character scene followed by a violent death followed by another tongue in cheek scene which makes the film seem at odds with itself . There's also an entirely unconvincing twist at the end involving good guy gangster Kenny which has to be seen to be disbelieved In all many of the reviews on this page state that TACTICAL FORCE is merely an okay action thriller and I certainly go along with that but to give the movie some credit it's perhaps more entertaining than it has any right to

Buff SWAT team mess up a store robbery for some reason (maybe they didn't fire enough bullets) and have to do some training at an abandoned warehouse.Little do they know there is some deal going down by some really annoying bad guys who think it's cool to swear a lot and point guns at each other because the maker of the movie thinks this will make them look more menacing.When one of the SWAT team gets killed, this vexes Jai White, Austin, and the Woman and they decide to save the day.This is one of those movie that tries to be like the action movies of the late eighties/early nineties ad fails miserably.After seeing Black Dynamite, I couldn't believe how bad Jai White was in this.I could understand it from the rest of the cast, but he was the predominant reason why I was even considering this movie.Ther film is filled with unintentionally funny dialogue, and it all feels like it's rushed, and it look cheap.All in all, I wasn't expecting much, and I didn't get much.

I expected absolutely nothing out of this movie. It was 2AM, I couldn't sleep so I started watching this movie, hoping it would make me sleep, but things went other way around totally.The beginning wasn't impressive, I thought the actors are pretty much suckers. But when the story started to take shape, it became interesting.The plot is good. No one would have imagined that unarmed SWAT guys could have to face a real action at their training camp. The Italian guy was good. And the most impressive role was of Kenny's. He killed all the scenes.Overall it was a good movie for me. I am a fan of Steve Austin AKA Stone Cold. Director was successful at keeping the physical fights short, because everyone knows that physical action never lasts more than 2 minutes unless it's a superhero.I'm shocked to see the ratings of this movie. It should have been rated more than 6.5. ANyway nice movie.
