Shadow Force

But, as I've been writing it, I realized that I see so many shitty movies I spend way too much time trying to remember the shitty plot of Shadow Force (an actual 25 movie) I just need to also document my pithy
negative · AI labelView post →Took myself on a date to see Shadow Force last night. Movie was good, I looked good. 10’s everywhere 😍
positive · AI labelView post →Very surprised SHADOW FORCE made it to movie theaters. Hope Omar Sy and Mark Strong enjoyed their Columbian vacations (and Strong doing his American accent), Kerry Washington works super hard in it, Jahleel Kamara is a delightful little boy, this movie was so cheap, I expected commercials.

neutral · AI labelView post →Watched a movie on Amazon called Shadow Force. Kerry Eashington was in it. How did this get made?? The premise wasn’t bad but the story was horrible. It never went anywhere and the worst tropes. No action for an action movie. I wasted 100 minutes of my life. I’d like them back please.
negative · AI labelView post →I honestly thought Shadow Force was a streaming movie until I saw it listed at my local theater.
neutral · AI labelView post →The irony of Shadow Force being theatrical, and Joe Carnahan's new film with Ben Affleck and Matt Damon The Rip being a Netflix film (maybe it will have a limited theatrical release). What a bizarre time we live in.

neutral · AI labelView post →“Lionsgate’s romantic mercenary thriller has as much flavor as month-old Valentine’s Day candy, and is as enjoyable as chocolates filled with bullets.” I did not like SHADOW FORCE, a movie I’m sure some of you still don’t even think is real. My take, for @avclub.com:
negative · AI labelView post →I'm at AMC to see SHADOW FORCE. Once upon a time, a new Joe Carnahan movie would have been a big deal, but there's not much hype around this one.
neutral · AI labelView post →I'll be talking movies on "Radio From Hell" (@radiofromhell.bsky.social), Friday at 7 a.m. on X96. I didn't see "Shadow Force," an action movie with Kerry Washington. I have no idea what it's about or if it's any good. Good luck to those intrepid enough to seek it out. 3/3
neutral · AI labelView post →So, "Shadow Force" is finally out on BluRay (YAY, MORE MARK MOVIES!!!) and it's on its way to me... but it comes with ID check??? What the hell, Amazon? It's not an 18+ movie??? 😐 Ah well. At least I'll be seeing the mail lady again. It's been a while 😂

neutral · AI labelView post →Big step up from Shadow Force for Carnahan. Affleck and Damon are both great, banger of a third act and its a movie filmed primarily at night where you can actually see what's going on!
neutral · AI labelView post →346: Shadow Force (Lionsgate) Must be a Shadow Force going around if no one was there in theaters to see this boxd.it/csicUf
negative · AI labelView post →Also, I just grabbed these bad bois at the grocery store so that I'm gonna have something to nom while I watch the movie 😋 (I still have a whole bunch of other Mark movies to watch but "Shadow Force" is his most recent one so it'll be watched first!)
neutral · AI labelView post →I had such a chill laid back Sunday that didn’t even feel rushed. Watched 3 diff movie genres: Nobody, Shadow Force (Kerry Washington did SUCH a good job as a badass special ops) and Priest. Also my honey bear changed the oil in my car and I made red beans and rice.
positive · AI labelView post →It's at least the best film of 2025 thus far about special ops agents who go AWOL and have a kid only to come back years later when they’re discovered. (Yes, there’s more than one.) My ★★½ review of Shadow Force (2025) on Letterboxd: https://boxd.it/9RAzg5 #ShadowForce #Filmsky #Letterboxd

neutral · AI labelView post →Watching Shadow Force on Prime, a movie I saw advertised in cinema 3 times between late '24 & mid '25. Which never seemed to actually come out. It's weird start for a trashy action movie. I applaud it.
neutral · AI labelView post →Yup, I thought Shadow Force was just okay. It wasn't awful or anything, just real generic. You couldn't pay me to watch that boat movie he made with Zach Levi though. I think you'll like The Rip, Dalia.
neutral · AI labelView post →Shadow Force: Probably the sloppiest movie Joe Carnahan has ever made. This is such an generic and boring action movie that has an talented roped into an script with forgettable characters (including an annoying kid) and poorly executed action sequences, 4/10
negative · AI labelView post →I’m honestly clueless on this years Golden Globes as 2025 was a blur film wise for me. All I remember seeing was Sinners, Wicked: For Good & Shadow Force… or and Thunderbolts*
neutral · AI labelView post →Seeing the 5:30 pm “Not Without Hope” at AMC Aventura 24 in auditorium 23 as movie 344 of 2025. Hopefully Carnahan is 1 for 2 this year (I walked out of “Shadow Force”)
negative · AI labelView post →This Shadow Force movie is a snoozefest!
negative · AI labelView post →#shadowforce was a good movie...I liked it.
positive · AI labelView post →Kudos to the person who applied Kerry Washington's kinky-curly wig in "Shadow Force" because that girl stayed put through fight scenes and a speed boat scene 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾😂. The movie was giving "Mr.&Mrs. Smith" but with true love and a kid. Omar Sy is 🤩.
positive · AI labelView post →I know the movie isn't a masterpiece but I don't care, it has Mark, which means it's automatically a winner in my most important category, which is "does this movie feature Mark Strong". #ShadowForce #MarkStrong
positive · AI labelView post →Da’Vine Joy Randolph, from The Holdovers, was in this. Second underwhelming movie I’ve noticed her in the past couple months. She was also in Shadow Force.

neutral · AI labelView post →Sounds like Shadow Force was pretty much what I figured it to be. 😂 Looking forward to your thoughts on the Final Destination movie. I'm just a bit shocked it's getting such rave reviews. 🤷♂️ But hopefully folks will continue to support Sinners and Thunderbolts* this weekend and for a few more.
neutral · AI labelView post →Shadow Force very much followed the action movie playbook, but it was still a fun and funny movie with some dope action sequences. Kerry Washington really needs to let the curly wigs w/ bangs go tho.
positive · AI labelView post →Idc what rotten tomatoes said… Shadow Force was a cute movie
positive · AI labelView post →What new movie is everyone taking their mom to see this weekend? Clown in a Cornfield? Fight or Flight? Shadow Force? (Hollywood clearly does not care about the moms). #filmsky
neutral · AI labelView post →Shadow Force ⭐️1/2 "One can't say that the cast and crew didn't put in the work to try and make Shadow Force cohesive, as action is serviceable and Washington and Sy try to give it heart. The problem is that on a conceptual level the movie is a fluff supplementing adrenaline."
negative · AI labelView post →Shadow Force ✅ 2/5 Essentially a glorified Netflix quality action movie with a decent cast. Cheesy & weak plot, but Kerry Washington and Mark Strong can make anything halfway decent. Omar Sy’s performance caught me by surprise, with a good script I think he can be really good. #movies #shadowforce
negative · AI labelView post →Spoke with Kerry Washington and Omar Sy for REVOLT about their film, #ShadowForce, what traits they’ve inherited from their parents, the must-have Sterling K.

neutral · AI labelView post →Shadow Force looks like a good movie with a corny name. I almost didn't click on the trailer. Glad I did! Not Omar Sy with a Black family?! 👍 youtu.be/M7LhGytiHFM?...
neutral · AI labelView post →#ShadowForce looks like the kind of action movie that would've been made by Albert Pyun (R.I.P.), and released straight-to-video in the Nineties to become a ridiculously popular cult classic thanks to more and more people discovering it in video stores and on cable. All of which is a compliment.

neutral · AI labelView post →Almost done with the movie SHADOW FORCE on PRIME. I should do a letterboxed... This was a TV show pitch I think. I would make a better Prestige Format series. Some of the stunt work is sloppy and unpolished. Editing saves the film mostly. Much of the story is meaningless filler. I loved it.
