    "Force" Movie Review - a NO nonsense movie- go watch it

    I have seen many Hindi remakes of south films before but "Force" stands out as it sticks to the original script as far as possible. I feel its not fair to compare the original version with a remake as it will be like comparing apples with oranges and hence i wouldn't make an attempt. The movie doesn't deviate from its core script to provide an extra item song or stunt just to make the audience happy nor does it inject lot of unwanted twists and unrealistic stunts. It stands by its script and delivers a good entertainer.

    Even though the promos projected the movie as more of an action film, romance plays a major part in the movie and over shadows the action element. Unlike other action movies where the romance is just to support some song sequences in Force you can feel the romance when the lead pair falls for each other. As John described during the movie promo the action sequences are merciless and very Raw.

    Overall its a no nonsense movie which tries to tell the story of a cop in a way which is close to reality without loosing the commercial elements required for a film. Go watch it if you like romantic action movies and you wont be disappointed.

    Surely Watchable !

    Yes that's true. This movie unexpectedly does really well.

    My expectation before watching the movie (from Rumors & storyline): May be the effect of Dabangg or Bodyguard, I was expecting lots of South kind of action.

    But when I watch the movie, no scene was extreme, really thanks for the action director for not making it south like. & When you have muscular hero & villain, u can expect lots of action between them.

    OK as usual, lets start with review.

    Why to see: Story: Though a kind of regular story, but good direction makes it watchable. Action: Good & watchable action, no dabangg & bodyguard ! John's acting: For the first time I like John's ACTING, & truly he scores !

    Why not: Nothing that wrong with the movie. so u can watch it.

    Bare: Genelia's acting, those who like/love her, can ignore this.

    Thumbs up for action Abraham & team force

    On the whole, FORCE is an engrossing story of vendetta and the execution of the material makes it stand out in the crowd. The film has the requisite amount of zing and force, so essential for action movies that talk of heroism. If you are looking for a sensible fun action thriller film with substance, FORCE should most definitely figure on your agenda. Recommended! Watch it for the hot chemistry between the lead actors,the super performance by the villain and the beef cake JOHN ABRAHAM who puts in his best muscle forward ;)

    Genelia is strikingly sweet and subdued. I genuinely feel that Genelia's an under-rated actress, who's capable of delivering if given an opportunity. Note the sequence when she proposes to John. It's a difficult sequence which Genelia carries off so well. Besides, the on- screen chemistry between John and Genelia is infectious. The villain, portrayed by newcomer Vidyut Jammwal, is a worthy opponent, who is the proverbial Evil pitted against Good. His persona is striking and his performance, excellent. This guy is here to stay and his performance will be talked-about when the movie hits the screens.

    Entertaining!

    Force directed by Nishikant Kamath is entertaining! The movie has a medium-paced first-half and a solid second half.

    The movie is a remake of Tamil-hit Kaakha Kaakha.

    Story:- Critically wounded and lying unconscious in a Mumbai hospital, ACP Yashvardhan(John Abraham) of the Narcotics Control Bureau reflects on his life and his love-affair with Maya(Genelia D Souza). With the assistance of the Commissioner as well as his colleagues, Atul(Mohnish Bahl), Kamlesh (Kamlesh Sawant) and Mahesh Pandey, and an informer, Arvind Shetty, he was able to apprehend drug-dealers in Kutch, Gujarat; Jalandhar, Punjab, as well as in Himachal Pradesh. Unknowingly, he paved the way for Vasu Anna Reddy(Mukesh Rishi) to become the sole drug-dealer and invite his Mombasa-based brother, Vishnu (Vidyut Jamwal), to join him. An encounter with the team kills Vasu, and some of the team gets suspended. A vengeful Vishnu decides to target the entire police unit as well as their respective families, and vows that he will not rest until he has killed them all. He starts with brutally killing Mahesh and his wife, Rachna, and then abducts Atul's wife, Swati - with a motive of forcing the former to do away with the remainder of this police team.

    The story is similar to those of RGV-crime movies.

    The direction is fine.

    The music is plain.

    The action is top-notch.In fact,the movie gets quite violent especially towards the end.

    The dialogs are well-worded.

    Performances:- John Abraham is excellent.Debutant Vidyut Jamwal steals the show with his splendid performance.Genelia D Souza is fine.Mohnish Bahl and Mukesh Rishi are good in their respective roles.Sandhya Mridul is perfect.Kamlesh Sawant is funny.

    On the whole FORCE is a one-time watch!

    "lot of my friends are fan of this franchise"

    A great action movie during the confused time of 2000's when both makers and audiences had a dilemma for moving to new-wave semi-art films or sticking to the good old romantic drama. And good action films have always been outcast in our country, even till now. John Abraham was the best guy during then to carry this torch. Adding to all, we get the mind blowing debut of Vidyut Jamwal who would later be the top action heroes of our country. A lot of my friends are fan of this franchise but had to cut some points here as this was not an original.
