Kerry Washington on ‘Shadow Force': Maternal instincts, career climbing, and the joy of creating
In a compelling interview with John Kelly, Kerry Washington opened up about her dynamic new action film Shadow Force On How Motherhood Shaped Her Character in Kerry Washington is a mother who plays no games in her new action film 'Shadow Force'! In a recent conversation with TheGrio's John Kelly where he praised Washington as a 'strong, powerful, wise, multi-talented mama,' Kelly asked how motherhood prepared her for the fierce role she plays in Shadow Force. Washington drew a striking parallel between real life and the action-packed plot, saying: In some ways, every parent is on the journey that Omar and I are on in this film because we're all trying to, like, be fierce and fearless and create healthy boundaries and protect our kids from what's dangerous out there, but also be loving and protect their joy and make sure that they're okay. It just happens that, you, know, Omar and I are playing highly trained assassins. She reflected on the instinctual nature of parental protection, which she could now relate to deeply since becoming a mom. 'It was really fun for me to ask myself, if I was a highly trained assassin… what would protecting my family look like?' On the Uniqueness of the Script Kelly noted that the film blends action, drama, and heart, calling it a 'total package.' Washington eagerly agreed but insisted on adding comedy to the mix, crediting her co-stars Divine Joy, Method Man, and Jahleel Kamara for their comedic brilliance. 'They bring necessary levity,' she said. 'I laughed, I cried two times,' is the kind of reaction that excites her. She expressed how rare it is to find material that allows her to flex physical, emotional, and intellectual muscles: 'I get to be a strong character intellectually, emotionally, and physically is really, really fun.' On Her Career Journey Kelly called Washington's career 'a magical run,' highlighting her success across TV, film, and behind the camera. Washington acknowledged her gratitude: 'I know every day that I wake up, I'm living a life that's filled with answered prayers.' She cited inspiration from Cicely Tyson, who viewed her career as an ongoing climb rather than a destination. Washington aims to keep reaching higher while staying grateful. On What's Next When Kelly remarked that it feels like she's just getting started, Washington agreed. As a producer, she finds deeper purpose: 'I'm not just doing work for myself that is exciting, but I'm creating opportunities for hundreds of other people… That for me is exponentially fulfilling.'More must-reads: 'I didn't know this was news'—Ryan Clark responds to critics' attempts to call him out because of his biracial daughter What to know about Kid Cudi, the rapper testifying at the Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial Tina Knowles wants you to know: Rumi is living her best life on the 'Cowboy Carter' tour

Shadow Force Movie Review: A bland action thriller that fizzles despite a promising set up
Story: Kyrah and Issac, former elite operatives turned lovers, go on the run with their son after their old team puts a bounty on their heads. Hunted by their ex-boss Jack Cinder, they must fight to protect their family and confront their past. Review: 'Shadow Force' is a film that feels all too familiar, offering little new within its overdone premise. It's a standard action thriller that doesn't bother to break any molds. The plot takes too many liberties, never properly explaining key elements, and leaves the audience to fill in the gaps. While the action sequences may keep you engaged momentarily, the film quickly loses its grip, leaving you indifferent to what's happening on screen. Despite the high stakes and potential for a gripping story, the lack of depth makes it a forgettable experience. The plot centers on Kyrah Owens (Kerry Washington) and Issac Saar (Omar Sy), two former elite operatives who worked for a covert unit called Shadow Force. When they fall in love and have a child, they decide to leave their violent world behind to protect their son. However, their past catches up with them when Isaac's identity is revealed while saving their son during a bank robbery. Once their former boss, Jack Cinder (Mark Strong), discovers they are alive, he places a bounty on their heads and sends a team of skilled assassins to kill them. The couple, forced to go on the run, must rely on their instincts and combat skills to survive. From Mexico to Spain to Bolivia, the action-packed journey unfolds with high-speed chases and near-death encounters. The film suffers from a lack of clarity, particularly when it comes to its central premise. The audience is never truly given an understanding of what Shadow Force is or what Kyrah and Isaac have been doing before the events of the film. If their crime is simply falling in love and wanting to raise a family, it feels like a flimsy excuse for a plot. While the action sequences are thrilling, the narrative leaves much to be desired. The few moments of warmth, especially between Kyrah, Issac, and their son Ky, bring a brief sense of emotional connection. Issac's use of French adds an interesting layer to his character, giving a natural, authentic feel to the portrayal, but these moments are overshadowed by a confusing and shallow storyline. Kerry Washington's performance is a major letdown, especially when compared to her past work. Her portrayal feels uninspired and flat, lacking the depth and intensity needed for such a high-stakes role. It's hard to believe this is the same actress who delivered a brilliant performance in her previous film 'The Six Triple Eight.' Mark Strong, on the other hand, brings a sense of menace and gravitas to the character of Jack Cinder, proving to be a strong presence in his role as the antagonist. But it's Omar Sy who stands out in this film. Despite being French, Sy is perfectly at ease in an English-language film, delivering a performance that balances both toughness and warmth effortlessly. His character feels real, and his natural charisma elevates the film, making him the one redeeming aspect. 'Shadow Force' never fully capitalizes on the potential its premise offers. It stays on the surface level, failing to dive deeper into its characters or plot. While it delivers on action, it never goes the extra mile, and in the end, it remains a forgettable, average film.
