Justice armée

Maaaan, this is such a bad film I almost deleted it from my device before watching it all the way through, however, having got 2/3 of the way through I owed it to myself to see if it got any better.......but it didn't. I was watching it on the train to work and was praying no-one saw me......it was embarrassing to watch.

I thought it was meant to be an action film but it was mainly people just shooting people in the head. The acting is bad, the script was awful and the sound effects (dramatic scenes overlayed by music) were laughable.

Stonecold and Michael Jai White should've steered clear of this after reading the script. Definitely won't be recommending anyone wastes 90 mins of their life watching this tripe!!!

first of all i like cast of Steve Austin and Michael Jai White playing and working each another role again like Tactical Force (2011) witch was underrated movie then this and well written then this movie. i love Steve Austin in a lot of movies like Expendables, Recoil, Hunt To Kill, Package,Tactical Force the rest are good like Maximum Conviction, The Condemned, a lot of movies he he did was good but this Chain Of Command AKA Echo Effect witch has lame name of movie, Action scenes were not much like not much of fights with Michael jai white and Steve Austin the lead role Michael Jai White did a lot of great movies like Blood and Bone, Undisputed 2, Falcon Rising,Universal Soldier: The Return, character of him did some staff like fights were good and all that and Steve Austin was not in it that much witch is sad i know he can do better movie then this i know he can do better role movie then this he was just talk's about Business that's it expect for ending he's shooting gun lame even acting was not bad at all but the CGI and all fake effect is like movie is not complete well low budget movie we all know that but it's like not even completed at all.

Plot: (Michael Jai White)James Webster was solder come home from his duty to see his brother, soon he's brother was murdered. James was search for the perpetrators, but discovers a conspiracy that cuts deep inside the U.S. government drug trafficking with SWAT Trucks.and (Steve Austin)Ray Peters was Business man who got mission to take down James Webster (Max Ryan)Lt. Ross friend who knows James for years they worked each another before, but Ross is turning Against Him behind his back working with Ray. James is putting his friends all in danger to find out who murdered his brother getting buy accident but James Friends knew what was going so that's why they got involved. but movie is just noting special Steve Austin is just talking about getting James Webster and getting pay check doesn't do anything until of end of movie Steve Austin doesn't fight or anything but lame just towards end it's Michael Jai White and Max Ryan fighting like 30 seconds that's it witch is lame knife fight. that's end i know this movie could have done better just get Steve Austin movie for lead role someone should just give him better role for better movie. i mean i know better movies with Steve Austin then this crap movie i didn't like as much mostly i don't have problem with Michael Jai White as lead it's just movie didn't do much needs more action more of showing characters not just Michael Jai White i have enjoyed cast and action but some of action scenes are lame but rest were good and fun scenes but there wasn't much just half of movie was good and then half of it is bad turns out to be like one of bad movies i didn't like as much i know Austin could do better and Jai White Max Ryan is actor i didn't care for as much actor from Death Race (2008), The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (2003), Kiss of Dragon (2001), The Foreigner (2003) with Steven Seagal. he did make good movies but for this not much at all just didn't do much not i care for reason i watched this movie is for Steve Austin and Michael Jai White but lead is Michael Jai White that's all mostly it's for fans like me but i just kinda got disappointed of this movie there wasn't much but if your fan of Jai White and Austin it's worth of try, not's worth of watching again and again 4.10 movie could have done it better i know Austin and Jai White could do better movies then this.

Micheal Jai White is one of the top direct-to-video action stars thanks to films like Undisputed II and Blood and Bone. His great martial arts skills are always complemented by his good acting. So how and why he got wrapped up in this amateur production is beyond me. Seriously, this flick is so flat and displays all of the style of something you would see on Hallmark or Lifetime. Even worse, director Kevin Carraway has very little insight on how to properly film and edit a fight scene (look for one shot where you can see the safety mat on the ground). Not allowing White to show case his abilities is just downright criminal. Add in a perfunctory plot and Steve Austin doing his best not to look off camera to spot a bank to cash his check and you have one of White's worst films in years. I understand he has to work, but I just wish it was with better people. I have no doubt White's forthcoming Never Back Down 3 will correct this.

Now - seeing Steve Austin I wasn't expecting top class acting, but was looking forward to a good action film.

What I wasn't expecting was the acting of the other people (Michael Jai White included) to be so pathetic that it actually made Steve Austin look good! Right from the off you could tell this is a low budget film, most of the supporting cast seem like they have been picked fresh from acting school (or the street!) and are just literally reading their lines rather than acting. For an action film I don't think anyone was actually told how to hold/fire a gun (Jai White was meant to be some kind of Special Ops soldier but his handling of a pistol didn't portray that!)

Overall a very poor film in every respect - action film with little action and such bad acting it was embarrassing!

I've watched a fair few films with bad plots and bad acting but without a doubt, this one deserves its rightful place at the top of the list. Michael Jai White is normally a very good actor but I suppose that he can only work with what he is given and in the case of this particular film, he was given a big pile of ****.

As for Steve Austin. I honestly think that when he was acting in the wrestling ring he gave a better performance than in this film and I think that the best choice of roles for him in future films would involve his being a tough guy villain who couldn't speak.

In the end it probably all came down to good old fashioned $$$'s and the actors were made offers that they couldn't refuse even if they knew that the end product would be an extremely poor, instantly forgettable film.
