Forced to Kill

About This Movie

Forced to Kill is a gritty thriller that dives into the underbelly of desperation and moral conflicts. The pacing feels quite tight, as we follow a down-on-his-luck gambler whose debts spiral out of control. What’s distinctive here is the shift of responsibility to his wife, who becomes an unexpected but resourceful protagonist. The atmosphere is heavy with tension, particularly when the stakes escalate with the kidnapping of their daughter. The practical effects have a rawness that enhances the film's authenticity, making the violence feel immediate. Performances are solid, though the unknown director's style is a bit uneven, hinting at a unique vision that doesn’t always land but is compelling nonetheless.
