Tactical Force is a movie that only exists because Steve Austin and Michael Jai White wanted to blow their money on a high-tech game of Cops and Robbers. They wanted to run around with big guns, blow stuff up, and kick the crap out of bad guys. I want to believe that they were planning this big elaborate Cops and Robbers game, and one of their friends, who happens to be an aspiring action director, asked if he could show up and film it. Austin and White looked at each other and asked, “What about the plot? I mean, we're just chasing bad guys around a warehouse in the middle of nowhere.” The director told them not to worry about it, that he would work something out. The director then went home, watched a bunch of The A-Team, and wrote the screenplay in one night. This would explain the abundance of goofy action film tropes,...

Writer/director Adamo P. Cultraro’s “Tactical Force” opens inside a grocery store during a daring albeit poorly planned armed robbery. In order to dispatch one of the goons who has taken a handful of civilians hostage, a Swat officer — portrayed by professional badass Michael Jai White — takes down one of these nefarious villains with a 1965 Red Ryder Bb gun. If that sounds like your idea of a good time, then this might be the greatest direct-to-video actioner to grace your high-definition television screen all year. However, if you laughed aloud and/or openly mocked this bizarre little scenario, perhaps you should move on to greener cinematic pastures. After all, it honestly doesn’t get much better than that. Unless, of course, you count the copious amounts of slow motion. Which, for the record, I don’t. To tell you the truth, it’s this level of absurdity, this blatant...

The Battle Of Algiers: The Criterion Collection (1966)
Synopsis: One of the most influential political films in history, The Battle of Algiers, by Gillo Pontecorvo, vividly re-creates a key year in the tumultuous Algerian struggle for independence from the occupying French in the 1950s. As violence escalates on both sides, children shoot soldiers at point-blank range, women plant bombs in cafe’s, and French soldiers resort to torture to break the will of the insurgents. Shot on the streets of Algiers in documentary style, the film is a case study in modern warfare, with its terrorist attacks and the brutal techniques used to combat them. Pontecorvo’s tour de force has astonishing relevance today. (criterion.com)
Special Features:
High-definition digital transfer, supervised by director of photography Marcello Gatti (with uncompressed monaural soundtrack on the Blu-ray edition). Gillo Pontecorvo: The Dictatorship of Truth,...

The embedded trailer for “Stone Cold” Steve Austin and Michael Jai White’s latest straight-to-dvd action opus “Tactical Force” may not look like much, but it features one of my all-time favorite action movie cliches: a police captain yelling at his officers for causing too much property damage. Despite the numerous times I’ve seen this bit, it truly never gets old. Plus, you’ve gotta love that tagline. “This drill just got real.” That’s Hollywood magic right there, my friends. Real Hollywood magic. Specifically, here’s what the film is about: A training exercise for the Lapd Swat Team goes terribly wrong when they find themselves pitted against two rival gangs while trapped in an abandoned Hangar. Adamo P. Cultraro’s “Tactical Force”, which co-stars Michael Shanks, Lexa Doig, Darren Shahlavi, and Steve Bacic, arrives on DVD and Blu-ray on August 9th, 2011. The trailer resides below. function getVideo...
