Reception
TV Guide gave the film two out of four stars and stated: "The original Excessive Force was a ridiculous vehicle for low-level action star Thomas Ian Griffith; that film's only virtue was its colorful supporting cast. This film (originally written as a stand-alone project) is easier to take seriously, but lacks much in the way of colorful details to distract from its generic plot. The cast, writer Mark Sevi and director Jonathan Winfrey (a veteran of the Roger Corman stable) do what is expected of them, but their work lacks the spark that would set this movie apart from the countless other action mini-epics crowding the video shelves."[1] "Monster Hunter" wrote: "It’s as forgettable as its star (Randall has numerous credits, but has anyone ever been in so many sequels with the number "4" in the title?) and you'll find yourself sympathizing with the wooziness Harly's head trauma causes her as you struggle through this one. It can't even muster up the perverse entertainment of the laughably bad Thomas Ian Griffith unrelated predecessor, Excessive Force."[2] Scott Weinberg from DVD Talk gave it two out of five stars, stating: "Notable for being the only movie in the history of cinema to use the word "force" three times in its title, Excessive Force II: Force on Force is your ultra-standard lady-cop ass-kick cable flick chestnut. It offers not one whiff of an iota of originality or real craftsmanship, but for what it is, EC2 delivers the goods with only a minimum of unintentional hilarity."[3] Mitch Lovell from "The Video Vacuum" gave it two and a half stars and said: "Overall, I think Excessive Force II: Force on Force is about on par with its predecessor. It doesn't have that film's great supporting cast, but I think it's a better made film than the original. It's not great, but as far as Part 2's go, you can do a lot worse. And as far as movies with the word "Force" in the title go, this is about as good as it gets."[4]
