Editorial Review:
Steven Seagal (Shadow Man, Black Dawn) is back in this high-octane, action thriller! When MARSHALL LAWSON (Seagal) loses his strike-team in a cold-blooded and seemingly random attack, he takes it upon himself to investigate the suspicious circumstances of the brutal killings. Soon he uncovers CTX Majestic, a covert military operation so secret, that now the military wants Marshall eliminated. Resolute in his pursuit, Marshall engages in a merciless battle with a drug dealer operation that appears to be secretly funded by a rogue arm of the military.
Attack Force Reviews:
Attack FARCE 
2009-12-04 - ZERO STARS FOR ATTACK FARCE!!!
I'm a Steven Seagal fan, but this movie is so pathetic and sad!!! Absolutely no action at all!!! Seagal's lines are dubbed which stinks and the fight scenes are in slow motion. Avoid this Seagal movie like the plague!!! The only good thing in the film is the hot chick who kills people. Even when the killers murder people - the action is slowed down which means that it did not take place at all because we never actually see anyone get cut up!
The acting is terrible which is why Attack Farce is a complete joke! This film is more like a comedy man! I always laugh when I hear someone else dubbing Seagal's lines!!! lol. It is always halarious to hear different people do Seagal's lines & the people sound absolutely nothing like him!!!
This movie is a complete waste of time. I was fast forwarding most of the time. The final "fight" scene is so weak and lame.
Avoid this Seagal disaster and check out his better films such as: The Keeper, Out Of Reach, Kill Switch, Urban Justice, and Pistol Whipped.
ZERO STARS FOR ATTACK FARCE!!!
Attack Farce
2009-11-09 - I just saw this movie, and in the very beginning, I hear Segal's charecter saying some lines which led me to believe there was going to be a sinister body double that was plotting against the good guy Segal. I was shocked to realize that it was actually a voice dub! I thought to myself, why would they voice over his original dialog, and why would they use another actor instead of having Segal do it. Then I looked up the movie on Wikipedia and found out that there were script changes made after the movie was shot and the voice overs were made to compensate! What a joke. This movie sucks ass. Steven, I think you need to go back to China or Japan or wherever you went to get your inspiration and meet up with your master again, or maybe go to a retreat in the Caribeaan and go on a macro-biotic diet for a few months!
Yeah, this was pretty bad.... 
2009-09-06 - Despite the bad reviews, I decided to rent this one and see if it might make a good Sunday afternoon movie to nap too. However, the movie was so bad that I couldn't even sleep to it - LOL!! There is extensive dubbing of Seagal's voice, and the "actor" they got to dub Seagal's voice isn't even close. Not to mention that I'm not talking about his voice being dubbed when he's not facing the camera or something somewhat undetectable. There are 5-minute long conversations with the camera facing him where the entire conversation is dubbed. It's like watching some dubbed Asian flick from the 70's and not in a good way!! I'd say about 40% of his lines were dubbed in this way - really bad!!
The story seems interesting on the outset - a drug called CTX has the capacity to give people super-human strength, so the military is interested in it for their own purposes, there is a "drug-cartel" that is also interested in apparently trafficking the drug, there is a rogue military group interested in the drug, and the French police are investigating deaths as a result of the drug. However, the story doesn't really go anywhere from here and the scenes where people are fighting it out are so confusing you are not sure which group is killing which group, you just see that a bunch of people are dying.
The drug has a sort of side effect I guess which makes peoples eyes turn into something that looks like it was stolen from Men in Black. You know, where Will Smith's character chases that guy down on foot at the opening of the movie - remember that? And his eyes are like the gills on a fish, blinking. That was okay though. What was really funny is that the drug also makes people have a metal knife that protrudes from their hand, which they use to slice open their victims. How exactly does that happen?! How does a drug make you grow a metal knife shaped object coming out of your hand? LOL, stupid!!
The ending was really bad - of course there is a big fight and everyone dies but Seagal and his little Japanese sidekick, but so what! Does that mean the military has given up on trying to kill Seagal? Earlier in the movie he killed a similar kind of military death squad and they just sent another death squad after him. So now that he killed this second squad, they are just going to give up?! The whole part about Seagal's character being part of the "good military" and the "bad military" was trying to kill him, was a little ridiculous and hard to follow.
You don't see Seagal using any of his Aikido really, it's just fake digitally-enhanced fighting scenes, though there were a couple of decent military-style shoot-outs. But overall this was one of the worst Seagal flicks I've ever seen, though still better than "Kill Switch" or "Against the Dark." But I'm guessing this is one Seagal would like to have back or at least take his name off of, then again sometimes I think it's just a paycheck for him and he really doesn't care anymore.
Revenge is a dish best served cold, or in a buffet line 
2009-07-25 - After watching Into the Sun earlier we had the opportunity to make it a double feature Saturday when Attack force also came on tv hours later. Being the Seagal fans we are this was an opportunity we simply couldn't pass up. It kind of felt like an old school Saturday when we used to spend our evening watching some hilarious flicks, except 2 key members were missing. None the less it brought Sid's mind back to the good old days which is always a welcomed occasion.
In Attack force Seagal plays Marshall Lawson and has unleashed his finest mullet to date. This thing is good, we want to be friends with it. It pretty much looks like his ponytail also gained weight forcing to stretch wide for a full mullet/Myers effect that cannot be contained. Aside from his mullet Marshall lost his strike force/competitive eating team by a group of government tested freaks. Marshall discovers the military secret and has to take on the US army along with the super warriors in a battle royal of hilarious proportions. Throughout the film there is a very strange dubbed effect going on. Sometimes Seagal's mouth will be moving but a different voice is heard not matching up with his lips. The voice sounds nothing like Seagals, much like the Pesci voice in the edited tv version of Casino. Awesome! 1 star right there for it's b dubbed goodness. You can tell a lot of effort went into this one.
Attack force earned itself 3 stars in our eyes despite mostly terrible reviews from the masses. Both this and Into the Sun got bashed but actually turned out to be pretty entertaining. You just have to love what Steven has become. He has pretty much become the obese version of Johnny Cash because he wears black everything in every movie he's done since the early 2000's. At least he was somewhat understandable despite the dubbed issue. Try to watch anything he does now and you'll need to hire a translator to understand anything he say. This one would have been enjoyed back in the old days filled with laughs, especially from Santa.
The Worst Segal Ever!!!!!
2009-04-01 - Being a Steven Segal fan I sat down to watch this movie and it is 2 hrs. of my life I will never get back! The dubbing of Steven Segals voice is unbelievably bad and the plot was nonexistant. DO NOT!!! I repeat DO NOT!!! waste 2 hrs of your life on this film or rather disaster.
