Summary: "May the Rogue Force Be With You"
Review: A band of killers feeling they are serving humanity go out annihilating criminal organisations because they believe that the justice system is too slow - there is too much red tape. Rogue Force, or Counterforce as it is named in Australia, is a great movie and I would recommend it to all. I by-passed the profanity and violence to actually see the believable and action-packed plotline. This movie I imported from the US because we can only see the rentals here in Aus. I am a big Robert Patrick fan and am so pleased the powers that be have seen that he is an actor of substance and deserves roles of this calibre (so to speak).

Summary: Rogue Force
Review: An amazing piece of work. It is uncanny how much more impressive movies that actually pay attention to tactics and methods used by law enforcement are than your standard hollywood flic. Great fight scenes, perhaps a slightly stale plot but the sheer brilliance of the action sequences makes it a must own.

Summary: Awesome !!
Review: Great movie. Its about a SWAT team that gets fed-up with their hands being tied at work, and the outbreak of crime, and want to set the record straight. They accomplish this by going out on their own, and adminishering a little bit of street justice, or vigilanteism if you will. If you like shoot-em ups, this is the one for you.

Summary: A diamond in the rough!
Review: I happened across this film one day when I was bored, and decided to rent a few movies at the local big name video rental store. I do this from time to time, that is, rent unknown films to see how they are. I was REALLY surprised.The film involves an FBI investigation of possible vigilante cops. A bunch of slime are being killed on the streets in what appears to be military-style executions. The opening scene shows exactly what I mean, as a drug-lord/pornographer and his gang are wiped out by a group of MP5-toting paramilitaries, who turn out to be SWAT cops. The acting is excellent, and the action sequences are top-notch. I can't believe this wasn't released for the theatres. It would have probably done well. Michael Rooker and several other fairly well-known actors make up an excellent cast. I purchased the DVD when it was available, but alas, is now out of print. If it becomes available, I would suggest that anyone get a copy, you won't be disappointed.

Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: I loved the movie. Robert Patrick and Michael Rooker act their parts well. Excellent props and you could tell that SWAT helped with the movie; the tactics were carried out realistically. Lots of action; one action scene after another. This movie will not bore you. I like how at the end the FBI lady tries to be a hotshot hero, and then...well, you'll see. I highly recommend this movie.

Summary: A surprisingly good Independant movie!
Review: 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!

Summary: tactics are sound...
Review: If I were a member of a specops unit, going against a trained SWAT team, I would know how they think, and would change my tactics accordingly.... the OPFOR should have set AP explosives at the most likely breach area, and coordinated overlapping fields of fire...
Rating: 
Summary: Highly recommended ... to be reproduced
Review: 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.

Summary: One note ripoff of MAGNUM FORCE
Review: This film's story is identical to MAGNUM FORCE, Clint Eastwood's 1973 sequel to DIRTY HARRY. As in MAGNUM FORCE, ROGUE FORCE is about a group of cops who turn vigalante. Then a tough, but "by the books" cop, confronts them. ROGUE FORCE features wooden one-note characters. That's how they're written, and that's how the actors play them. Nobody changes or grows, except for the FBI man, but only at the very end. He suddenly discards his police gear in disgust, much like Eastwood did with his badge in DIRTY HARRY. ROGUE FORCE's stolid FBI agent hero looks and acts more like a meathead bouncer than the smart FBI agents played by David Duchovny, Jodie Foster, and Kyle MacLachlan. There's also a stolid "Tony Danza type" Italian cop who's recruited by the vigalante cops, led by a sterotypically evil Aryan type cop. The Danza type accepts his new vigalante role, without any great soul-searching. No one questions their decisions, no one grows, no one changes. Femme cop Diane Dilascio heroically rushes into a shoot out at film's end -- and accomplishes nothing. The stupid hero cops fail to outsmart the villain cops. Then the villain cops stupidly rush into gunfire and accept their inevitable defeat with stolid blandness. One note all the way. Yes, the final shootout is bloody and lengthy. One star for the elaborately bloody shootout, and one star for Diane Dilascio, who's always cast in one note roles, although her succubus in POLTERGEIST: THE LEGACY shows she can do more.
