Shadow Force Ratings & Reviews
- jrjonesmichael1 de junio de 2025Really movie with the right amount of action, humor and family values.
- gj64j625 de marzo de 2026I enjoy crap movies, they are fun. This does not qualify as a crap movie, it's somehow at the same level as AI slop. Just don't.
- Hgroves17 de junio de 2025Not bad but definitely not an A grade movie. Maybe a B+
- erikrem23 de enero de 2026Great action flick! Typical Kerry Washington cry face, but if you can get past that, she’s an amazing actress. Fight scenes were extremely well orchestrated. Suspenseful. The little boy who plays the son is going to be a big star someday, he crushed it. Lionel Richie soundtrack is a HUGE bonus for me!
- jackmeat3 de junio de 2025My quick rating - 4.8/10. Shadow Force wants to be a high-stakes, family-driven action thriller, but it often stumbles under the weight of its own contradictions. While the film stars the talented Kerry Washington and Omar Sy as former elite operatives turned fugitives, the story doesn’t give them enough grounded material to make me believe in their so-called legend status. Instead, we’re handed a middling mix of sentimentality, spectacle, and logic-defying decisions. Washington’s Kyrah and Sy’s Isaac were once the leaders of a covert multinational special forces team known as Shadow Force. Their love, forbidden by the organization, led them to defect and go underground to protect their young son. Years later, with a price on their heads and their former allies turned enemies in pursuit, the family is forced back into action. On paper, this has the potential for an emotionally charged, action-packed ride. In execution, it's far more uneven. Take for instance one of the most glaring examples of style over sense—a pop-up hatch in Kyrah’s car roof designed for a gunner. She’s been operating solo for years, so the addition makes no practical sense outside of giving us a cool action beat. The problem is that these beats often come at the expense of logic. Another head-scratcher: shooting a grenade to make it explode. It’s flashy, sure, but anyone with a basic understanding of explosives would tell you it’s wildly unrealistic and only barely possible under extremely specific conditions. These kinds of moments pulled me out of the story rather than drawing me in. And then there’s the odd way the film handles its protagonists. For supposed elite fighters, Isaac and Kyrah spend a surprising amount of time getting their asses handed to them. Rather than showcasing their superiority, the repeated beatings they take undermine the idea that they’re the best of the best. It’s hard to root for heroes who seem constantly outmatched. What Shadow Force does get right is its casting. Washington and Sy are both charismatic and capable of delivering strong performances, even when the script doesn’t always help them. The standout, though, is Da’Vine Joy Randolph as “Auntie.” She provides the comic relief this movie desperately needs, effortlessly lightening the tone when it threatens to drown in its own seriousness. Action-wise, the choreography is passable, with a few sequences that manage to be engaging, though the film takes a while to get there. It’s a slow starter, and even once the ball gets rolling, there are long stretches of family talk, scenes centered around bonding over music, heartfelt speeches, and motivational chats about the mission. While intended to ground the story emotionally, these moments eventually start to feel repetitive and drag down the pacing. Ultimately, Shadow Force feels like a movie at war with itself—torn between being a gritty action piece and a heartfelt family drama, yet never excelling at either. It’s entertaining enough for a one-time watch, mostly thanks to the cast and a few decent action scenes. But it's not the kind of film that lingers in your memory. For all its firepower, Shadow Force never truly hits its mark.
- Figueiragames26 de julio de 2025Good movei about spys
- craig.pulliam5 de junio de 2025Actually liked this movie more than I thought. My guess is the budget dictated a lot of how it looks but there are some good moments with solid writing and the shootout choreography was good too.
- idle Stoev1 de diciembre de 2025a 100% meh 😐 ... you dont want to watch it at some points, but you overall you want to see what happens in the end
- skyfather9422 de agosto de 2025Poor acting, some pretty crap CGI in parts. Disappointing
- Kristian Odland30 de junio de 2025Do yourself a favor, DO NOT watch John Wick right before watching this. It has a cool concept, but not the greatest execution. The director must have had a fever for red flares, and the only cure was MORE red flares.
- Wesley B1 de octubre de 2025Interesting premise but it doesn't quite get it right
- jamesbay7139 de junio de 2025Expected it to be unoriginal, did not expect it to be painfully boring!
- Leyon Palmer8 de junio de 2025Could have been longer and added a little more context in terms of the story line. Few funny moments but overall, a fairly good watch
- DavChar2 de junio de 2025Great action scenes, great chase scenes and over the top fight scenes. While the movie is clearly unbelievable, it is definitely a fun ride.
- MacBobby Chibuzor2 de junio de 2025Really enjoyed this movie tbh.
