Fuerza irresistible

Is there some type of discrimination going on at U.S police departments ? Just curious because everytime I see a cop drama from America ( Especially one made as a TVM ) it seems no one can become a detective unless they are a family man with just a few months left in the job , and all police chiefs must be black , while all recruits to the plains clothes division must be females who have a black belt in some martial art

Oh and guess what IRRESISTABLE FORCE is about ? That`s right it`s a TVM with a family man who works as a detective with only a few months left in the job , and his chief is black and he`s assingned a new female partner who`s got a black belt in karate . What else can I tell you ? I can`t remember and I only watched it last night . That probably tells you a lot in that case

Stacy Keach plays about to retire former gung ho cop, Harris Stone, who's just looking to cruise along until retirement day. Somehow or other he ends up with Charlotte Heller as his new sidekick, which he is initially quite happy about. What trouble can she cause? Lots. She's an ex-Navy SEAL (played by real life martial arts champ, Cynthia Rothrock) and she causes plenty of trouble. However, Stacy Keach looks bored and Cynthia Rothrock looks more concerned about showing off her martial arts prowess to let the film rise above the ordinary. Stumbling from one disaster to another, they finally end up confronting a group of terrorists who have taken a hostage in a shopping mall. Where else? If you're bored out of your tree and want to waste an hour and a half of your life then watch it. Rating: 3/10

I do not care much for stereotypes, simple dialogs, flat action or false critics.

This is, why i could only recommend everybody, who wants to spend a nice evening with a really funny, witty and action packed movie, to have a close look at this one. You might consider watching it over and over again, smooth action, nice dialogs, a good script and a lot of fun. Earlier movies with C. Rothrock took advantage of her martial arts skills, while later ones were unworthy, compared to here acting talents. This one has the right mixture, combined with an excellent male partner, up to the culminating end scene. There are only so many movies of this quality, so... judge for yourself.

Let's face it, without Rothrock this film would have been as flat as 6 month old soda pop. Rothrock added so much to this film with her lightning fast moves, great charm, and excellent scene by scene presence. No disrespect to Keach but Rothrock could have pulled this one off alone in Die Hard (ala Bruce Willis) fashion. Christopher Neame was not very engaging as the bad guy either.

It was these flaws that cost this action drama a shot at at being full blown TV series. Nonetheless, Rothrock displayed some of her finest moves. Her close-ups were very nicely done as well. Rothrock does not get the credit she deserves as an accomplished action film star. She is HUGE overseas especially in the far east. It's a darn shame that the one chance she had to do a network TV series was ruined by the film makers inability to compliment her with a good ensemble cast.

What do you get when you combine Stacy Keach and Cinthia Rothrock? An explosive combination of martial arts and fine acting talent. Stacy Keach is one of my favorite actors and is a true diplomat of the art of good film making. Cinthia is the type of sweet and sassy babe perfect for her role in this movie. I myself have always been afraid of shopping malls, and this movie really played on my greatest fears in life. All I have to say is wow.
