A Força da Natureza

This is ok to watch but only if you have exhausted your options. If you are looking for some action sequences supported by a good cast and and a good overall story, then this might be fun. The story is actually fine, the actors are also fine and the acting is fine. However, there are big problems with the dialogue and some action scenes, which sometimes make you think you are watching a B-movie with A-list actors... The director decided to create good action sequences but very boring and rather useless in-between conversations. The moments where there is no action, sometimes make no sense. If you are willing to go past that, then you 'd end up with an ok film experience. This film is kinda saved by its good cast. Also the hurricane concept is not really present as you would expect it to be, judging by the way they promoted this film. 6/10

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 is one of those movies where you keep wondering how the hell it made it through quality control. Is there even such a thing, or did someone just have some money to launder, because telling a good, or even just a coherent story definitely doesn't seem to have mattered. Some cliché bad guys, a flimsy reason for them to shoot at some good guys and of course a stupid nazi subplot shoehorned into the mix because there can't be a Hollywood movie where we aren't reminded of that, can there? It's boring and tedious, there is no suspense, the characters are lame and nothing they do makes any sense. You don't care about any of them, so when the guy and the girl in between gunfights connect through small talk about their previous lives, it's nothing but awkward. Mel Gibson was just a side show too.

Absolute waste of time. Stay away.

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.

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.
