Story: Force of Nature starts when Federal Agent Falk (Bana) receives a call from his informant Alice (Torv) needing help. Alice had been on a hiking trip with co-workers Jill (Furness), Lauren (McLeavy), Beth (Stringer) and Bree (Ansell). However, she doesn’t come back with the rest.
As Falk starts his investigation, he starts to learn more about the problems between the women on the trip. Each interaction reveals more events of the trip as he races to close his own case. However, the truth becomes more challenging than he ever imagined, taking him down a dangerous path.
Verdict on Force of Nature
Force of Nature is a crime thriller following a Federal Agent searching for a missing informant. She went missing during a work trip and the mystery about her connection to her co-workers is questioned.
This movie takes us into an interesting mystery with plenty of twists and turns. It is a following, but more just the returning Agent on his latest case. This can hold things back, as it feels much more like a television show than a movie. The mood atmosphere and mystery of the truth keep us on edge. With most of the twists coming along expectedly. It continues to have strong performances and we would love to see the next case of Agent Falk.
