I like Omar Sy, he was fantastic in The Intouchables from 2011.Regrettably, "Shadow Force", doesn't make the most of his acting talents. This is a second rate action film and it really, really shows. Poorly choreographed, lifeless, gun and fight scenes, an unoriginal, implausible story and drab characterisations, let this film down. Sy's as likeable and engaging as ever but no amount of quality acting, can fix this one. In summary, a great actor in a less than great action flick.
