What happens

Excessive Force is a 1993 American action film. It was directed by Jon Hess, written, co-produced and starred by Thomas Ian Griffith and released by New Line Cinema. Despite being panned by critics and becoming a box office bomb, the film had a direct-to-video sequel, called Excessive Force II: Force on Force (1995), that bears no relation to this film and does not follow its storyline. Shot on location in Chicago between March and April 1992, Excessive Force was released in May 1993. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
