Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
"Rogue Force" is brainless action at it's best. The plot: FBI Agent Matt Cooper (Rooker) has to stop renegade cops who are killing mafia members and other assorted bad guys. It doesn't seem like a problem, but they have gone too far, because innocents are also being targeted. He is saddled with a partner: Helen Simms (Diane Di Lascio) to bring down the ringleader Jake (Patrick).What "Rogue Force" excels at are the action scenes. All the action is brisk and exciting. The climax in particular is the best. It's just non-stop bullets and mayhem. Rooker, Di Lascio, and Patrick put in good performances too.In the end: "Rogue Force" is 90 minutes of cool FBI\SWAT action. The plot is routine but who cares when you're having a good time.For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com
This could have been a good film but the story line just died at the end.It was like they needed a quick ending. This happens in many films and it is too bad.It was going well till the daylight suicide mission. The police radio calls became a very big distraction and were overdone. Some sexual tension would have also been good between Matt and Helen. No chemistry existed at all. Both characters were good on their own but not together. I liked Robert Patrick in his role. He was good.Nicely shot and edited. Good sound effects and foley.
This is a deeply unpleasant film, with no redeeming qualities other than the presence of the undoubtedly talented Michael Rooker, an actor who has been unfortunate enough to spend his career languishing in roles, and movies, far beneath his capabilities.The movie lacks the drama and tension of a thriller and is simply a succession of ultra-violent scenes. By the final reel the violence has become so over-the-top as to be sickening - the final battle is nothing but blood and guts galore. The lead female character is blasted to death, quite unnecessarily, and no other character seems to care. Her body is dragged out of the way and the boys carry on with their shooting of each other.Quite horrible, and not to be recommended.
As soon as I looked at the cover I knew this movie would be a real winner. Not!!! The only reason I rented it was to see some SWAT things and cheesy action. I was disappointed in the SWAT stuff but the cheesy action was hilarious. The end fight was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The SWAT movement used by the FBI was pretty funny also at the airport. One would think that they would contain the area so no terrorists would escape but i guess not. Also why was a FBI agent investigating bad cops. Doesnt internal affairs do that. This seemed like a big city (they must be if they have a FBI office) but why was there no internal affairs. Doesnt the FBI deal in federal crime not investigating rogue cops. This had to be one of the worst movies I have ever seen. It reminded me of Search and Destroy which I fell asleep during one of the many action scenes in. Please spare yourself and don't watch this movie unless you want some good laughs.
