Force of Execution is a 2013 direct-to-video action crime film directed by Keoni Waxman, written by Richard Beattie and Michael Black, and starring Steven Seagal, Ving Rhames, and Danny Trejo. The movie marks the fourth collaboration between Steven Seagal and Keoni Waxman (following The Keeper, A Dangerous Man, and Maximum Conviction), and the fourth collaboration between Steven Seagal and executive producer Binh Dang (following Into the Sun, True Justice, and Maximum Conviction). The film is set and filmed in Albuquerque, New Mexico.^[2]

Keoni Waxman said "The movie is a different tone than the previous films – a crazy, violent ‘grindhouse’ style... There isn't as much gun play as Max Con but we wanted to go old school and make a sort of ‘western kung fu movie’ on this one."^{[2][better source needed]}

Synopsis

A crime lord is torn between his legacy and his desire to leave the life of crime that built his empire. A new villain tries to use the town's anti-hero network to climb to power. The crime lord must rely on his assassin protégé, who has his own troubles. In an epic battle of under-bosses and crime lords, only one will survive.
