Where to watch Future Force
1 1/2 Stars
John Tucker is the notoriously feared leader of the Civilian Operated Police Systems, a ruthless band of bounty hunters formed to restore order in a city overrun with crime. In the name of the law, and armed with an arsenal of weapons, he will stop at nothing to capture each bounty. But when corruption is exposed within the C.O.P.S. organization–instead of upholding the law–John Tucker will be forced to fight it.
Future Force is so unmemorable that I had trouble recalling anything specific when I wrote this review. The haze of memory provides a few details but nothing positive to recommend this low-budget programmer starring, partially at least, inebriated David Carradine, the purveyor of good and bad B-movies. Future Force won’t insult its intended audience, granted they go in with the appropriate expectations, but it won’t exist either.
The poster for Future Force shows off Carradine’s mechanical arm. This piece of tech gives the film its unique angle, and when it becomes automated late in the plot, the special effects are threadbare, which adds to the Corman vibe of the enterprise. David Carradine, himself an alumnus of the Corman system, struts through the film with a distended belly and slurring lines, but he’s consistently the best thing about Future Force.
