Plot summary

Sandi (Erika Eleniak) goes underground in Miami to search for her sister, Amanda, who has gone missing after running away from home. Sandi gets a job in the strip club where her sister was last seen and this brings her face-to-face with a local crime syndicate's leader (Andrew Divoff). She discovers he was involved, but can't find any evidence. In the meantime Sandi's father (Michael Parks) hires a group of mercenaries called The Librarians, Simon (William Forsythe), Toshko (Daniel Bernhardt), and G-Man (Amaury Nolasco), to find his missing daughter. With the help of his old friend Irish (Burt Reynolds), Simon runs into Sandi at the strip club and together they try to find Amanda. As Sandi and Simon get closer to the truth and each other, the danger and the heat will rise!

Reception

David Johnson of DVD Verdict wrote, "Suffice it to say, Strike Force is every bit as stupid and forgettable as its insipid title suggests."[3]

gollark: "A T-shaped tile appeared! Which column do you want to put it in?"
gollark: That could be a heavserver feature!
gollark: Most things can.
gollark: Ideatic.
gollark: Don't worry, under rule something I won't* spoil it. However, I do not consider posting contextless images which don't appear to imply much of a long-ago-released series "spoilers".
