There are some good ideas floating around in SHADOW FORCE, and the film has its laudable moments. However, the plot is a barely-comprehensible mess, and the action scenes are often poorly-staged. Jahleel Kamara is the standout performance of the film, and all scenes with him work better than the others. This film feels like it was sabotaged by a production problem (running out of money, argument over final cut, footage lost, cast member becoming ill, or something similar) that necessitated cobbling together something perhaps different from what was intended. It might also be something cobbled together to fit business needs (Colombian production incentives, career goals of Kerry Washington, Da'Vine, Method Man), but the end result feels compromised and unworthy of an audience's time.
