La forza della natura

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.

Generous with a 4 only cos of Gibson, otherwise this film is a total time waster. In fact, revisiting Hard Rain starring Christian Slater is much better than this lousy film. I dont kno why Gibson agreed to do this film. This movie belonged to Bruce Willis, Seagal, Van Damme, Cage, etc.

The lead actor Emile Hirsch has a double chin. The lead villain David Zayas shud hav at least remove his goatee to delete his Dexter image from our minds. He ain't convincing at all. In fact Lance Henrickson wud have done a better job. Kate Bosworth is looking haggard. Stephanie Cayo with her make up n style is looking too hot for a cop. Gibson is totally wasted.

Ther is a scene where aft all the commotion n firing, characters have plenty of time to stitch the wound n chitchat. Ther is no hand to hand combat, no good gun action sequences, no tension or suspense, the ending with the uniform is predictable n laughable n to be honest ther is no planning or proper heist. Its jus plain burglary.

All thru the film I was waiting for some dog attack scene but wot a dud man.

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

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.

Hard to believe this flick cost $23 million to make. It's very cheaply done.

It's also very poorly written and completely implausible. In fact, some of the scenes are downright stupid.

Mel Gibson is barely in the film. Or at least not as much as the other characters. But he's decent . The other actors not so much.

What it comes down to is this -- it's a really horrible script. The guy who wrote this is really amateurish. In a better writer's hands, this could have been a good movie.
