Film Review - Shadow Force
May 08, 2025
“Shadow Force” is a generic title that immediately brings to mind all the bland B-movies being cranked out for streaming and VOD services these days. The types of films that feature terrible action sequences, paycheck-focused stars, and paint-by-numbers screenwriting, leaving the subscribed left with empty calorie viewing experiences that are immediately forgotten. The picture is the latest from co-writer/director Joe Carnahan, who’s been doing okay with bruiser entertainment in recent years (“Boss Level,” “Copshop”), but he stumbles with his attempt at a superspy saga. Perhaps the flatness of the title is actually a proper fit for this thoroughly uninspired endeavor, as Carnahan doesn’t have freshness or ferocity to share in the offering, which plays almost exactly like every other actioner in the marketplace, and a few of the helmer’s previous efforts.
