Some movies are born bad; some achieve badness through lack of care or budget. Some seem to aspire to it and Michael Polish has had a long enough career to know the difference.

The material's exploitation of a fictional Puerto Rican hurricane for cheap and contrived white-savior thrills pushes it into the realm of ugliness.

"Force of Nature" plays by the timeless rules of pulp fiction, and only when the eye of the hurricane passes over and an eerie, tense calm takes hold does the movie strike a note of originality.

An appalling film packed with excruciatingly embarrassing acting, horribly dated sound design, a nonsensical attempt at creating a catastrophic atmosphere, awful editing, impressively lousy action, and one of the worst screenplays ever put to screen.

Personally, I liked this film better when it was called Hard Rain starring Morgan Freeman and Christian Slater, but not really.

An odd mix of snappy and silly, of culturally aware and culturally clueless, this thriller may pass muster with a few viewers, but others will likely find it problematic in more ways than one.

Not worth it, not even as background noise. Poorly written and they have an A list celebrity just to kill him off. Waste of time.

Didn't care for this. Looked very low budget. The story was frustrating. Not well written at all.

Mel Gibson could have did way better than this. He did better in a movie with 50 cent

Honestly, it's really a bad movie. The acting is horrible, the sequence of events is pretty bad, and the reiteration of questions that have already been answered was really annoying. It's not the worst movie in existence, but don't watch it. It's a waste of time

Mel Gibson has got to be embarrassed by this flick. Aside from Mel, the actors were not believable at all. In fact, the lead role was 100% not meant for Emile Hirsch.
