Forced to Kill (1994)

Disturbing yet enthralling

A Brilliant Conflict

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

FORCED TO KILL is another straight-up action flick from the hard-working team at PM Entertainment. This one features an exceptionally wooden actor in the form of Corey Michael Eubanks, playing an ordinary guy with exceptional fighting skills who is forced to fight by a small town's corrupt law enforcement department.Michael Ironside is the chief villain here and he delivers his dialogue with his customary growl and is, inevitably, the best thing about this movie. The rest begins as a drawn-out tournament-style fighting flick before moving into the usual chase thriller territory for the second part. Rance and Clint Howard play in support alongside Don Swayze, making this a film for less-well-known family members of famous figures. The action's okay but the film stalls in between, although the ending's over-the-top fun.

"Forced to Kill" smacks of a vanity project for writer, producer, and leading man, Corey Michael Eubanks. For almost the entire film the shirtless Eubanks struts his stunt man stuff. The viewer is witness to endless car wrecks, and bare knuckles fighting, along with some horse riding, speed boat chasing, and cliff jumping. Unfortunately all this mayhem is tied together with a script devoid of even a minute amount of logic. It is pleasant to see good character actors Michael Ironside, Rance Howard, and Clint Howard. What is not so pleasant are the crater sized plot holes. Although the sleaze factor is there, the common sense factor is non existent. "Forced to Kill" is nothing more than mindless entertainment, with mind numbing flaws. - MERK

Well, another stupid kick-em-up shoot-em-up film, but a good one. Ironside makes for a great evil sheriff, and Cory Micheal Eubanks is convincing in his round house kick moves. Music and sound effects are especially good for a B film.What I find really funny is in the trailer this film was proported to be the most "relative" film of the year, and that's certainly the case....Cory is Bob Eubanks' son, Pat Swayze's brother is in it, Clint Howard (Ron's little brother) is in it, and Rance Howard (Ron's dad) is in it. VERY RELITIVE.But again, great sound FX and music.Sumaria Vumpage

At least it doesn't pretend to be intelligent.It doesn't have Brad Pitt, but it does have Corey Eubanks, Don Swayze and a lot of other mean muscly guys giving each other a realistic thumping. Luckily, all these thugs only take on the smart-alec hero one at a time. If they had ganged up on him, he would have been dead half an hour into the show. I hope I haven't given away the ending.
