The Librarians

It took 10 seconds to realize this was utter trash. Forsythe jumping across the ground and shooting while jerking his guns. It looked like kids playing cops and robbers. Not a single clip was exchanged as infinite ammo was apparently available. Fast forwarded to the end to get some more chuckles. A sniper rifle used in the center of a raging battle just to, you know look cool. The gun battles at the beginning and end ( which admittedly is all I saw of this complete dreck of a film ) reminded of the old A Team show where everybody just fired indiscriminately at, I'm guessing air molecules since after thousand of rounds fired only a half dozen people were hit. Strangely enough the only one who seems to be aiming correctly was Erica. And Forsyth as a good guy? That was strange. All of these actors; good guys and bad have been in much better movies. What possessed them to be in this celluloid abomination I'll never know. I can't even begin to fathom what kind of mind would enjoy this except for purely comedic purposes. Avoid with all prejudice.

"Strike Force" or "The Librarians" is a fun action movie that doesn't take itself too seriously. William Forsythe stars as Simon, who is looking for a missing daughter of a wealthy client. He meets up with Sandi (Erika Eleniak) who is also looking for someone-her sister. But there are evil bad guys afoot. The most evil of them all is Marcos Canarious (Andrew Divoff). Marcos likes to kill people. So now, Simon and Sandi have to team up to bring down the villains. The whole cast is great, with Divoff stealing the movie. There are also cameos by Ed Lauter and Burt Reynolds. If you are looking for a good action film, watch this and have a good time.

I heard the stories of the ravers in the movie and thats great but that is only 1/100 of the movie. The problem with this movie is the cheesiness. I never really got the plot or why the guy was stealing girls. That makes no sense but hey...why they were in a club randomly was curious also. Many parts of this movie make no sense but overall I was interested. It was confusing on many levels...maybe I am just not indie enough for this movie but judging from the B looking end scene they ran out of money, just cut some stuff in, and forgot about the plot. Its low budget and appears so. I like the fact that they used little special effects which were bad, but they used none that were quality. I would say this film is the quintessential bad script, with alright production. It is definitely not as random as many movies I have seen but the pieces of the puzzle just don't make sense together. In effects, I would give exception to the final battle when all the effects went 1950's on my ass. Sparks out of models and the like. Watch it if you like an unintentional comedy from an action movie. Mystery science theater has a candidate.

I'm not going to bother mentioning any of the plot - this is strictly a B movie on its way to obscurity. The shock to me, though, is seeing what has become of some of the actors in this film. Erika Eleniak, never anything you'd call a thespian anyway, seems to have morphed into Anna Nicole Smith (in her Big period). Daniel Bernhardt - I almost shed a tear. He's always been a favorite of mine because of his martial arts prowess, as seen in the Bloodsport series (also B movies but, if you like martial arts, eminently watchable). Here, he is a shell of his former self - sure, he's older, but doing the mercenary thing and not even looking interested ... I just don't get it. Don't these people invest? William Forsythe is another "heavy" that I've always liked, but his last several roles are what you would call "mailing it in". I'm not going to even mention Mr. Reynolds - his gig here amounts to a throwaway, nothing more. The only winner is Andrew Divoff, as usual a creepy, evil, pockmarked villain with a sandpaper voice that can curdle milk - the best kind! This is a movie you watch for laughs. There's nothing else to it.

William Forsythe and his team of mercenaries call themselves The Librarians because their hair remains perfect while they run around being shot at by people firing machine guns. I suppose. They have just lost one of their small number rescuing a small girl and are commiserating with the satchel of money they got, when old friend Michael Parks reaches out to them. His grand daughter has been kidnapped by Nazi drug dealer Andrew Divoff, and he's not a nice Nazi drug dealer. He's from Argentina! They have to go to Miami, talk to Burt Reynolds and engage in mixed martial arts fights, because that's how you do it, apparently.

Forsythe not only stars in this, he helped write it. Co-writer and director Mike Kirton also includes lots of shots of young people dancing in very crowded discos, because why not?
