Force of Nature

By Force of Nature they mean something else ... well at least that's what I'd say. You may disagree. Mel Gibson has quite the easy role to play here. He plays the "too old for that ..." thing, that you may know from another output of his, but played by another actor. Emilie Hirsch is supposed to be the main character here and Kate Bosworth too. The latter being the one that has some interesting moments and developments.

Overall this is a neat little thriller and action movie. Nothing really impressive, but nothing that is really bad either. I may be a bit too nice with my rating - especially considering other things I've rated, but overall you'll find me being generous rather than the other way around. The bad guy (also known from the Dexter TV show amongst many other things) is quite charismatic, but has as many flaws as the movie itself ...

Force of Nature has a few entertaining moments, but it's very forgettable and it blends in with a hundred other movies. However, Mel Gibson was the main attraction that I was eager to watch this film. But the Mel of Lethal Weapon was shown as coughing and stubborn old man. Besides he has short role in the movie. The fight scenes aren't that bad, all things considered. Force of Nature is not a bad film. It had its fair share of problems, but for a low budget action film with an aging action star, it's not bad at all.

I was expecting a lot more, but .. it is very entertaining , also kind of funny. Action comedy! Lots of action, also a couple of boring moments which didn't make sense... but I think that is the point of this movie. ;)

I like watching Mel Gibson, take him out of this movie and I would give it 3.

Mel isn't exactly William Wallace in this movie, far from his best.

Hard to believe this flick cost $23 million to make. It's very cheaply done.

It's also very poorly written and completely implausible. In fact, some of the scenes are downright stupid.

Mel Gibson is barely in the film. Or at least not as much as the other characters. But he's decent . The other actors not so much.

What it comes down to is this -- it's a really horrible script. The guy who wrote this is really amateurish. In a better writer's hands, this could have been a good movie.
