Force of Nature

This is really not good and I'm ashamed that Kate and Mel were in this thing. Their agents need to be fired for allowing them to go down to this level.

It's worth a watch if you appreciate 80's action flicks. I've noticed the low viewer ratings... we've been spoiled over the last 20+ years with modern special effects. Although it's somewhat similar to "Hard Rain", it's a decent story with decent action. If it came out in the 80's or 90's it probably would've been a blockbuster.

The idea is great but get lost many times, the characters are not so interesting, but at least the visual effects are convincing and as a whole is a great fun.

Force of Nature is a fictional story around an art heist in Puerto Rico during a Category 5 hurricane in an evacuated building except for a few people that are holding back including retired cop Mel Gibson and his daughter played by Kate Bosworth. Emile Hirsch played a cop who is called upon to investigate an African American living in the same building who is played by William Catlett. The local cartel headed by David Zayes hunts down everyone who got into his way. Why does Mel like to play dead or loves to die in his movies, he is getting pretty good at it. Mel's character was not the main story surrounding thus flick but rather Hirsch. Overall it was an ok movie just nothing to remember, it reminded me of Hard Rain with Christian Slater and Morgan Freeman but on a smaller scale. Skip this one.

I was expecting a lot more, but .. it is very entertaining , also kind of funny. Action comedy! Lots of action, also a couple of boring moments which didn't make sense... but I think that is the point of this movie. ;)

Where to start!! Let's start with Mel Gibson. Its seems now a days a lot of these low budget action films are casting once great actors from the 80s and 90s in small roles to entice fans. Bruce Willis being a prime example! Gibson doesn't have a great deal of screen time in this film. The main stars are Emile Hersch and Kate Bosworth. It centres around the occupants of an apartment complex during a hurricane refusing to leave, and to make matters worse there are some nasty men now looking for something in one of the rooms. Enter Hersch the hero cop trying to get everyone out with the help of Gibson's daughter Bosworth. That's it!! You could of put Danny Glover in the apartment next door and called it lethal weapon 5. I wanted to turn the movie off afte 30 minutes but the wife insisted we finished!!
