“The Enforcer” (** out of four) was a sleazy pulp-action melodrama about a recently released underground enforcer (Antonio Banderas) who finds his conscience in crisis when he realizes his sadistic boss (Kate Bosworth) is running a cybersex trafficking ring and he has to risk his legacy and career by attempting to save a young girl (Zolee Griggs) caught in the middle of this ring. Banderas’ usual slow-burn charisma and solid performance from Mojean Aria as his loyal sidekick help keep this watchable but they are overtaken by overall plot unpleasantness. Bosworth is miscast; 2 Chainz is solid as a thuggish pimp but he oughta “watch out” for better scripts and roles next time.
