    Toxic hate

    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

    Not as bad as rating claims

    I often come on here looking at reviews and overall average ratings before deciding on my next film to watch. And I thought I'd give this a try based on having a few known and established actors. And that it has one one the worst average ratings for a budget film I think I've ever seen that I've looked at.

    Yet another example of even if below an average film that the IMDb average review rating seems well off. I mean, what the hell are people comparing such films to in order to give such low ratings?. If you want to see a £50-£100 million plus budget film go and see 1 than watch these budget films yet judge these against Hollywood films with countless times the budget. People should try to judge films far more fairly based on a number of criteria.

    However, that's not to say this is a great film as it's far from that. A reasonable passable effort at best thats made the best use of getting known and established actors on board that clearly carried and probably influenced the performance of the supporting actors. A shame no budget is stated as always nice to try and base a review against its budget.

    At first I thought the film was some ten minutes short (maybe a higher than normal budget to the main stars might explain this). But in reality and on reflection it could easily have been several minutes shorter again due to scenes that had no place in the film and look only to have been put in to pad out the production to get to a minimal film length production.

    Had this been several minutes shorter, pointless scenes cut out and more a one off TV special this would have been and felt a much better production. Overall story is not the worst for these films, but not great either.

    Sadly another film that had potential yet fell well short even if using established and known actors. Acting overall was good to decent, but more a feeling of more a showcase film for upcoming actors and film makers to showcase their talents alongside established actors.

    Complete Rubbish! 1/10

    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

    500K for this... Are you kidding me?

    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?

    Why isn't there a zero?

    The guys that left the other poor reviews were being kind.

    If you are yet to watch this then don't, for the love of God please don't!

    But I'd imagine that you are just here to confirm that the film that you've just wasted an hour and a half of your life watching really is that bad and that other people thankfully agree with you and you're not going mad.

    Apparently I have write ten lines for my review to be considered valid by IMDb. Bugger, there really isn't anything in this film I want to write ten lines about, the other reviews have already captured pretty accurately just what a stinker this is.
