Review by: Taran Adarsh Site: BollywoodHungama Ratings: 4/5

FORCE borrows from the masala films of yore that popularized Indian cinema in 1970s and 1980s. Love, romance, deceit, treachery, revenge, loads of action... FORCE has it all. Sure, you may find the plotline clichéd and predictable, but if the film manages to keep you hooked, if the twists and turns are truly interesting, despite the predictable path the story undertakes, the purpose is served. Thankfully, FORCE gets it right!On the whole, FORCE is an engrossing story of vendetta and the execution of the material makes it stand out in the crowd. The film has the requisite amount of zing and force, so essential for action movies that talk of heroism. If you are looking for a sensible masala film with substance, FORCE should most definitely figure on your agenda. Recommended! Read more

Review by:Rajeev Masand  Site:IBNLive Ratings:2/5

The film goes from a legitimate thriller to a typical revenge drama without much warning, when Abraham's character, ACP Yashwardhan, and his anti-narcotics unit take out a major drugs kingpin in a carefully planned operation, but fail to account for his bloodthirsty brother. That vengeance-seeking sibling (played by an impressive Vidyut Jamwal) goes on an unstoppable killing spree, targeting not only the cops who finished his brother, but their wives as well.The only moments that work in this film are the relentless action sequences; and while John Abraham looks good when he flexes, a little loosening up in the dramatic sequences might have helped.I'm going with two out of five for director Nishikant Kamat's 'Force'. This film is brawn porn, at best. Read more

Review by:Nikhat Kazmi Site:TimesOfIndia Ratings:3.5/5

A remake of the 2003 Tamil blockbuster Kaakha Kaakha, Force is a heady cocktail of high powered action and breezy romance that ensure there's never a dull moment. Director Nishikant Kamat too goes the Rohit Shetty-Abhinav Kashyap (Singham-Dabangg) way and tries to create an old-fashioned action film which sticks to the tried-and-tested formula of pitching the hero against the villain in umpteen high testosterone sequences of pure mara-mari.And for punctuation, there are the romantic interludes where the macho superhero, awkward with emotions, tries his best to forge a strange new relationship which demands a totally new passion from him: one that has nothing to do with battering heads and smashing vehicles.Go for it, all you Gods of War enthusiasts.

 Review by: Dailybhaskar Site: Dailybhaskar Ratings:3/5

The story is simple and quite predictable, but what’s commendable is the velocity at which the events occur. The first half keeps the viewer engaged with an adequate amount of action and romance. Post interval, few scenes make you sit on edge of youe seat and the action packed drama reaches its peak. However, it surely brings back the memories of hit action movies of the recent times- Singham and Dabangg with its high voltage action sequences, probably emphasising on its Southern inspiration.3Ups and Downs: For people, who demand three things in any movie- Action, Action and more Action, John’s Force is a tailor-made option available, considering the other releases this week.The movie is dragged in bits and also predictable, excluding a few twists. John’s fans will get to witness his great physique, action and drama. The female fans of John, who can’t put up with extreme violence, don’t need to force themselves! Read more

Review by:Sukanya VermaSite:Rediff Ratings:2/5

Watch: Only if you're desperate to catch some big screen action. Even if you've already seen all the prominent stunts in the promos. Even if it's predictable to the extent where you can tell the exact angle of the next jaw to get punched.  Nevertheless, John doing some Ethan Hunt-inspired mountain climbing or the closing combat between a shirtless him and Vidyut is one hundred per cent brawn porn.Do not watch: Here's the thing. For a genre that works purely on moronic logic and one-note screenplay, Force never had much to accomplish in the first place. But its complete lack of individuality or snap makes it a boring, banal, blah and bleak experience. Read more

  Review by: Komal Nahata Site: Koimoi Ratings: 2.5/5

What’s Good: The action and stunts; the songs; the acting.

What’s Bad: The seemingly uni-dimensional nature of the film; absence of emotions and comedy; the sidelining of the romantic track.

Verdict: Force has taken a good start. Its action will see it sail through comfortably.

Loo break: Not really.

Watch or Not?: Watch it for the deadly stunts. On the whole, Force will be liked by the youngsters, especially guys. In the final tally, it will prove to be an above-average fare, thanks to the impressive start all over. Read more

Review by:SuperGoodMovies Site:SuperGoodMovies Ratings:3/5

‘Force’ is a remake of the blockbuster Tamil film ‘Khakha Khakha’ that starred Suriya. Yes the story has been tweaked a little but the basic plot is the same. Nishkant Kamat handles it well and gives you a clean entertainer that is not over-the-top in any case. It’s real and believable unlike other Hindi action films where the lead actor is seen bashing 20 goons on his own.Plus Points:ActionGenelia’s performance John’s flawlwss physiqueMinus Points: in parts Final Word:Definitely not worth a miss .Read more
