I'm not sure what else you want the guy to say. That's basically what he would say in real life. It gets the message across clearly as possible (very important) and it intimidates the enemy. I can see how you think it's bad dialog, because "or we will kill you" is such a common, blatant phrase. Regardless, I feel it's a good line and it's sort of straight-forwardness fits well with the situation.
Yeah, it feels both corny and real at the same time. If you watch cop shows, you know they say crap like that all the time. Of course, cops irl are both corny and real at the same time as well, so it fits.

Reminds me of that scene in the bathroom in Reservoir Dogs, during the cops monologue. "Put your hands on the steering wheel or I will shoot you in the face."
