Force of Nature

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.

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. ;)

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.

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 ...

This movie is terrible. Couldn't even finish it. Thought it had enough names in it to be decent, but it's not. Hard pass.
