5.0 out of 5 starsGRIFFITH'S BEST SINCE KARATE KID III
By Terry Silver on February 4, 2004
Format: DVD
Action superstar Thomas Ian Griffith takes on evil Italians and corrupt cops in this edge-of-your seat thriller. In perhaps his best role of all time, Griffith crafts a fascinating character unlike any ever seen before: a cop frustrated with his work and alienated from his wife. When Griffith uses excessive force to get a confession, a web of intruige and sinister alliances is slowly revealed to him. The film also features a supporting cast of seasoned veterans such as James Earl Jones and Lance Henriksen who both deliver solid performances. With plot twists you will never see coming, touching moments which will leave you in tears and the one of best guitar-solo and saxophone soundtracks ever written - not to mention explosive, glass-breaking karate action, "Excessive Force" is a 90 minute visual feast of pure adrenaline! A must-see film for any fan of good cinema.

4.0 out of 5 starsShoulda Been A Star
By Stanley Runk VINE VOICE on January 12, 2004
Format: DVD
Good action movie. I actually saw this in the theater(yes, it did have a theatrical release!) back in the day. This was about the time when cheap action and horror films were starting to disappear from theaters. Excessive Force would be straight to video if released today. Pity, coz it's pretty fun. Thomas Ian Griffth never became the next Seagal or VanDamme-something the producers were obviously trying to do with him-but he really does the action tough guy thing wonderfully. He even had a hand in the script. He's got the look and the moves, he's even a decent actor. He went on to do some direct to video action pics, and played the lead vampire in John Carpenter's Vampires. You may also remember him as one of the villians from Karate Kid III(the guy who teaches Daniel how to break noses). Other than that, the guy is virtually unknown. The plot doesn't offer anything groundbreaking in terms of cops/robbers action, but it's a cliched film done well. It's got a better than average supporting cast of James Earl Jones, Lance Henriksen, Tony Todd(the Candyman himself!), and Burt Young(Paulie from the Rocky movies). These guys must have also seen potential of the script to want to appear in it. Good supporting actors, a good script, and a good performance from the lead raise this otherwise by-the-numbers action movie up a few notches to something quite entertaining.

5.0 out of 5 starsWell it's about time
By Nathanael D. Robinson on August 19, 2003
Format: DVD
This is one of those good action flicks in a long list that have taken way too long to make the DVD transfer. This is quite possibly an action fan's best introduction to Thomas Ian Griffith. Once you become acquainted with this film, you will soon realize just how underutilized this man is in the Hollywood Action scene. He combines impressive moves with decent acting chops and just comes across as a pretty cool cat. In addition, this was a fresh action film. It didn't rely on lead spraying alone. Character developement and a few twists combined with awesome casting--James Earl Jones, among other familiar and welcome faces--was obviously important in the overall spectrum of this movie. It wasn't just thrown together. We get a cop who winds up caught in the crossfire of the shadey politics of his own police precinct, finding himself alone in the struggle with no one to trust after his partner is brutily murdered. This film poses the question, "how well do you know your friends?" This is one you can share with fellow action fans that may not have had the pleasure of viewing. Griffith's movies are few and far apart but they're all worth watching. Support this man! I'm looking forward to seeing his work on the sequel to Timecop.

3.0 out of 5 stars"Above the Law" meets "Rapid Fire"...with Some Problems
By Michael Seahorn on February 11, 2010
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
One of the more lamentable cases of Hollywood banishing a promising action hero before his time is that of Thomas Ian Griffith, a man of satisfactory charisma and considerable physical talents who seems destined to be remembered as a villain in a lesser Karate Kid sequel. Despite continuing a small-time starring career for several years following "Excessive Force," his chances of being the next Seagal or Van Damme were dashed when his first major movie bombed and he was shelved into DTV releases and the odd supporting role in films like Vampires. True, this movie isn't ever going to be considered among action's greats, but it's solid and enjoyable enough to credit Griffith as a truly regrettable loss.

The story: following a $3 million mafia drug bust, the police team headed by Officer Terry McCain (Griffith) is targeted by a scorned underworld boss (Burt Young, Rocky series) who suddenly winds up dead. McCain's teammates die around him as a new police chief is instated (Lance Henriksen, Aliens), and before long, he comes to suspect that the offense is coming from inside the police department. With the mob and crooked cops gunning for him, McCain must rely on his detective work and skills as a martial artist to survive.Read more ›
