7/10
Quite good...
27 March 2024
I happened to stumble upon the 1982 movie "Forced Vengeance" by random chance here in 2024. And with it being an older Chuck Norris movie that I hadn't already seen, much less actually knew existed, of course I opted to sit down and watch the movie. And oh wow, well I didn't know that Chuck Norris had made and recorded a movie in Hong Kong, prior to watching this movie. So that was quite a nice surprise.

The storyline, from writers Franklin Thompson and James Fargo, was good. It was an entertaining movie to watch, despite it oozing with generic early 1980s action and martial arts movies tropes. But hey, that just made "Forced Vengeance" all the more enjoyable in my opinion.

"Forced Vengeance" is brought to life on the screen by a good cast ensemble and some good acting performances. Of course you know what you get with Chuck Norris, and he does carry the movie quite nicely. It was also quite a nice treat to see the likes of Michael Cavanaugh and Bob Minor on the cast list.

There are a fair amount of action and fighting scenes throughout the course of the movie. Just as you would expect from a Chuck Norris movies. And the action and fighting is nicely brought to the screen, as it is nicely choreographed and executed. So that definitely added something good and enjoyable to the overall impression of "Forced Vengeance".

If you enjoy Chuck Norries movies, then "Forced Vengeance" is definitely a movie that is well-worth sitting down and spending 90 minutes on watching. I was genuinely entertained throughout the course of the entire movie.

My rating of director James Fargo's 1982 movie "Forced Vengeance" lands on a seven out of ten stars.
