5.0 out of 5 stars
AWESOME!, February 14, 2000
This review is from: Renegade Justice - Rogue Force [VHS] (VHS Tape)
This is the coolest movie I've ever seen! The first time I ever saw this was on HBO (this movie *I believe* also goes by the name, 'Renegade Force')...and after that, I would stay up until all hours of the night just to catch it again! First of all, I love Robert Patrick!...If you liked him in Terminator 2, than you'll love him in this! He plays a disgruntled S.W.A.T captain, who uses his team to clean up a town full of prostitution and corruption, but ultimately goes over the edge and loses any of the values that he has....although he is SUPPOSED to come off as a cold vigilante, you can't help rooting for the bad guys in this...the hero to his anti-hero, Michael Rooker (guy from Days of Thunder)...is also somewhat of a prude...which helps you not feel guilty about the chaos that stems from the his 'rogue' squad of swat team members' brutal killing...but asside of that, this movie is still AMAZING...the weapons, equipment, costumes, and manuevers in this are great (This movie used actual FBI equipment, guns, and advisors)...this film is extrememly violent, but almost in a mezmarizing way...the action scene's in this are so amazingly exlposive, and so soberingly realistic, that it will make any other movie with swat teams in it look like Pokemon...if you like automatic weapons and explosions, then this is the movie for you! If you like any movie concerning law enforcement, or just great action movies in general, then this is the movie for you! Buy it, no matter how much it costs...you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

Highly recommended ... to be reproduced, December 13, 2004
The film has a nice idea, I knew it as soon as I saw its poster. S.W.A.T vs. HRT, what a brilliant action sequence would be seen in the film! But it failed. The producer had to write it out that real SWAT members and tactics were showed in this movie, or I would not know that!
There was 1 out of the 3 stars for the idea.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A surprisingly good Independant movie!, June 30, 2001
This review is from: Renegade Justice - Rogue Force [VHS] (VHS Tape)
I thought this move might just be another cheap,boring,repetitive action move with bad acting and poor action.But,although it's not brilliant,this is a pleasing film! Michael Rooker & Robert Patrick are both very good in the lead roles and Louis Mandylor shows great potential in a fine support performance.The film was made under the supervision of real SWAT teams and therefore the film's realism content is outstanding. It has very good action blending with genuine drama. I have to say,it also features the coolest and most interesting opening credits I've probably ever seen!
