Indian Express rating:**
In the opening credits, you’ll find a line which states the film is 'inspired by' the Tamil original 'Kaakha Kaakha'. There’s more than inspiration here; several key scenes and sequences are replicated, and much else is similar. But ‘Force’ doesn’t deliver as much punch, even as it recasts John Abraham as an action hero.
For those who haven’t seen the original, there is some fleeting enjoyment to be had in ‘Force’. An action flick these days usually sports a hero with sculpted abs, and Abraham is completely solid on that score. As a bonus, the villain (Jamwal) is equally well-muscled and strips well. There are fights and chases and gun battles. The bad guys are the easy-to-hate drug smugglers and peddlers. The good guys are the Narcotics chaps, who believe in old-fashioned vengeance. And the girl (D’Souza) is sweet and virginal but sassy, making the first move, instead of just waiting for it to come to her. But `Force’ is not a tour de force it could have been because Abraham doesn’t cut it all the way.
