Toxin

For some reason I always enjoy seeing Vinnie Jones. I don't know why. His movies and performance are getting worse every time, but I still watch them. And the movie has Danny Glover, of Lethal Weapon fame. How could this go wrong?

Easy. Vinnie is a minor thug of no consequence, Glover acts worse than a wooden plank - not kidding here, there were planks that didn't make me cringe in this film - and the hero of the story is Taylor Handley, from Dawson Creek, playing a bad ass soldier coming from Afghanistan. Yet it goes further than this: the CGI is painfully bad, the dialog is pathetic, the direction is worse than non-existent, it's suicidal and the acting of everyone involved is abysmal. I mean, the best actor of them all by far was C.S. Lee, Vince Masuka from Dexter. That should tell you how bad the whole thing was.

And yet, if this would have had an intriguing premise, brought something new to the table, added at least some element of tension, horror, drama or at least comedy, inadvertent or not, I would have been OK with its existence. Instead it is a completely worthless enterprise. More effort has been put into fake comments on IMDb than in any part of the film.

Bottom line: avoid it like you would a toxin that is actually a virus that grows spores on the walls of buildings.

Well, Danny Glover's in it and he's not a good guy but it's an okay movie. Good Time Waster not as bad as some of these and it's got an interesting topic and it's done really well. Kind of like a serial killer movie without the serial killer and a virus instead bumping people off. Really not as bad as some of these reviewers are making it out to be. Just watch it and then judge for yourself.

Did not want to dislike 'The Enforcer'. It was not a bad, if not new, premise and Danny Glover and Vinnie Jones have given dependable performances in the past. It had potential to work, and would have done with effort being obvious and like those in front of and behind the camera had their hearts in it.

Neither of which can be seen with 'The Enforcer', something that is really quite unforgivable. Have seen far worse films, recently and ever, but that doesn't stop 'The Enforcer' from being a very bad film with few redeeming traits and a lot of things done absolutely terribly. There is not much to add to what has been said very well already and the review is at the risk of repeating what has been said. Just for the record, 'The Enforcer' was watched with an open mind and not without the intent or want to dislike, let alone hate, the film, quite the contrary. Just in case there is yet the tired, overused and abused accusation of being close-minded and following the herd, have actually gone against the general consensus quite a few times.

CS Lee and Margo Harshman give 'The Enforcer's' best turns, being the only two actors in the whole film to actually be trying.

This cannot be said for Glover, who is very wooden and like he didn't want to be there, this is one uncomfortable and half-hearted effort from him. Even Jones phones in. Taylor Handley is in no way believable in the heroic role, no spark or charisma. In all fairness the characters are clichéd and are never engaging or easy to get behind, didn't care or endear to any of them. The chemistry is static, likewise with the barely existent direction. The script is from start to finish is a cringe, weep and toe curl-fest.

Furthermore, the story has no tension or suspense whatsoever, is very lifelessly paced and executes a not particularly new if intriguing idea with no imagination or originality. Basically non-stop indifferent dullness and predictability that takes itself far too seriously to be fun. 'The Enforcer' has a very dreary, one-note and less than slick visual style with well below average efforts. The music is monotonous and forgettable at best.

Altogether, very bad. 2/10 Bethany Cox

I should had turned it off the moment i heard "What took you so long"/ "Yeah is nice to see you too" I can't believe that dialog is still used. I honestly felt like i was watching the bloopers version or perhaps the deleted scenes all roll into a movie. I hate to be so critical but I have to admit that when I saw the budget of this movie was 500K it did bother me. You could feed so many families and instead you make this movie. I do feel bad for the camera director in this film. He was probably biting his tongue from saying anything the whole time he was filming. I'm sure at one point he asked himself "Why did I sign up for this?" after all the camera work was practically the only decent part of this movie. Even Danny G's acting wasn't convincing. I dont believe i could've kept my mouth shut if i had been involved in this project. How on earth did this film cost so much. That's what I want to know?

Review: What a complete load of rubbish! The acting was awful and as soon as the annoying teenagers came on screen, I completely lost interest. All I remember was this stupid virus that was killing everyone but apart from that, I haven't got a clue about the plot. Danny Glover, who was playing a doctor who was making the virus, has really gone downhill lately and Vinnie Jones plays the usual cockney hard man who is working for the baddies. My expectations for this film were pretty low from the get go, so I'm not surprised that it turned out to be so awful. I won't go on about the film anymore because it just not worth the time or effort. Rubbish!

Round-Up: This awful movie was written and directed by Jason Dudek, who brought you Open Mic in 2001 and Legacy in 2008. Its not really surprising that his movies are unheard of, because if there anything like this one, I doubt that they will ever get an audience. Maybe he should just stick to watching films except for making them? Same goes for Vinnie Jones! 

I recommend this movie to people who are into their drama/sci-fi/horrors starring Taylor Handley, Danny Glover, Vinnie Jones, Margo Harshman, Beverley Mitchell and C.S. Lee. 1/10
