Gripping story with well-crafted characters
Absolutely brilliant
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

View MoreFORCED TO KILL is another straight-up action flick from the hard-working team at PM Entertainment. This one features an exceptionally wooden actor in the form of Corey Michael Eubanks, playing an ordinary guy with exceptional fighting skills who is forced to fight by a small town's corrupt law enforcement department.Michael Ironside is the chief villain here and he delivers his dialogue with his customary growl and is, inevitably, the best thing about this movie. The rest begins as a drawn-out tournament-style fighting flick before moving into the usual chase thriller territory for the second part. Rance and Clint Howard play in support alongside Don Swayze, making this a film for less-well-known family members of famous figures. The action's okay but the film stalls in between, although the ending's over-the-top fun.
View MoreJohnny (Corey Michael Eubanks) is a repo man. He's driving the latest repo when he's kidnapped by some hill folks. His partner is murdered. The hill family is headed by Rance (Rance Howard). Dwayne (Don Swayze) and Neil (Mickey Jones) are the muscles. Heather (Kari Whitman) is abused by all the men. Johnny manages to escape and flag down Sheriff Wilson (Michael Ironside). Sadly, Wilson is the one with plans for him to fight in an illegal country tournament.I don't expect Corey Michael Eubanks to be much of an actor and he's not. The problem is that a lead actor needs a good deal of charisma. Van Damme has it. Corey does not. Corey may be a great stuntman. He has a terrific roundhouse kick but that's about it. I expected Ironside to be in more of the movie. After an explosive opening, he disappears for 30 minutes. This is a B-movie through and through. They even have a Playboy Playmate. Its main problem is the lack of charisma from Corey.
View MoreAt least it doesn't pretend to be intelligent.It doesn't have Brad Pitt, but it does have Corey Eubanks, Don Swayze and a lot of other mean muscly guys giving each other a realistic thumping. Luckily, all these thugs only take on the smart-alec hero one at a time. If they had ganged up on him, he would have been dead half an hour into the show. I hope I haven't given away the ending.
View MoreGreat movie!!! A bunch of redneck hicks look for a fighter to use in a ultimate fighting tournemant, its great. They take his wife and he ends up fighting for his life. Good fight scenes!
