After Salman’s Dabangg and Ajay Devgn’s Singham, now bollywood hunk John Abraham's time for hard-core action film is a remake of a Tamil movie Kaakha Kaakha, Force will absolutely find takers among the action junkies who love nothing better than to watch the unbeatable hero bashing up bad guys by the dozens.
The film revolves around the hard ACP Yashwardhan (John Abraham) from the Narcotics Control Bureau who believes in staying away from relationships as he believes attachments will be a chink in his armour. However, Fate has something different in store for him and Yash keeps bumping into the bubbly Maya (Genelia D'Souza) on various occasions while in the quest of justice. After a brief courtship, where Maya wins the heart of the die heart Yash, the lovers plan to get wedded.
In the meantime, the ruthlessly brilliant Vishnu (Vidyut Jamwal), the younger brother of drug kingpin 'Anna' Reddy (Mukesh Rishi) uses an 'informer' and orchestrates a plan to have all the competing drug gangs destroyed by Yash's special unit specially handpicked for combating the drug mafia so that he can become the undisputed drug lord.
However, when Reddy himself gets killed by Yash and his team during an operation, Vishnu vows to take revenge for his brother's death and therein begins a cat-and-mouse game between the team of cops and Vishnu's gang, the latter leaving no stone unturned to target the cops and their families in a without hesitation cruelty.
After a few murders, beatings and close shaves with death, Yash lastly manages to corner Vishnu and kill him in a hand-to-hand combat, though losing Maya in the process to Vishnu's bullets.The final scene shows Yash going back to being the unbeatable cop that he was and doing what he does best... battling crime.
One of the strong points of the movie unquestionably remains John Abraham's muscular physique and screen presence. Though he seems expressionless on many occasions, he yet manages to carry off the strong but silent tough cop role realistically. Genelia as the bubbly Maya also pulls her weight though the chemistry between her and John is not that clear.
Vidyut Jamwal as the cruel Vishnu is an enjoyable surprise package. A ruthless drug lord who doesn't play by the rules and is bad to the core, he reminds one about the era of old school movies when the villain was a match for the hero. Granted that Jamwal needs to work on his diction, but his menacing screen presence and looks compensate for the minor flaws.
Other actors like Mohnish Behl, Sandhya Mridul and Raj Babbar perform pleasingly. Kamlesh Sawant, who seems to be destined to play cop roles (Khakee) because of his looks and strong Marathi accent, does a good job as an officer from Yash's team, eliciting chuckles with his cynical humour at times when viewers get tired of seeing the grim Yash playing the stoic cop.
Director Nishikant Kamat also deserves praise for the pace of the film, which doesn't drag at any point and hurtles towards the climax with inspiring speed. However, the love tale between Yash and Maya could have been developed more.
In general, Force is absolutely worth a watch.
