The only thing "Force: Five" proves is that the chances of finding a good American martial-arts film are about as many as those of finding a good Hong Kong Western. Yes, the film stars real martial artists who obviously know their stuff, but keep in mind that:
a) most of them can't act (Richard Norton is excepted)
b) most of the time they're fighting useless morons who stand around like sitting ducks, waiting to be kicked.
And how about the fact that the doors of the rooms where the "bad guys" keep their drugs-and-guns-for-sale and the dead bodies of their victims are unlocked and unguarded?
Cheap and stupid. But the actors sure know how to kick high. (*1/2)
