Written and directed by Joe Carnahan, the brand-new action drama Shadow Force has officially opened in theaters, although it was unable to break the top 5 in its opening weekend box office ranking. From 2,170 theaters, the movie managed just $2.1 million from its debut weekend, a considerable underachievement for a film boasting a reported $60 million budget. Unable to make an impact despite featuring a strong, eye-catching ensemble cast that includes the likes of Kerry Washington, Lupin star Omar Sy, The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy's Mark Strong, Academy Award winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Cliff "Method Man" Smith, and others, it seems that the poor beginning to financial life isn't reflected by the movie's audience reception.
