Excessive Force (1992)

Cast:Thomas Ian Griffith,Lance Henriksen,James Earl Jones,Tony Todd,Charlette Lewis,Burt Young

Sub- standard action movie is just another cop movie  which has Griffith dealing with his corrupt superior played by Lance Henriksen. James Earl Jones is wasted as a father figure to Griffith's characater.  Pretty stale stuff.

Excessive Force lacks the  fresh element to set it part from thousands of films of the same caliber.In order to be a sucsessful actioner  you need at least dash and spirit in your action scenes. Being derivative can usually make for a mildly diverting movie but they don't work when every cliche in the book of B.movies is repeated over and over so it covers no new ground. A better title would have been "Excessive Bore" . Hideous. D.Jon Hess *
