Driven to mediocrity
2009-12-20 - This movie actually turned out to be pretty decent, but I was really concerned the first 20 minutes or so into the film that this might be another "Submerged" (2005) or "Attack Force" (2006) because I couldn't understand if Steven was trying to fake a Russian accent or it was just another in a long line of bad voice overs! Actually, I'm still not sure, but as I am not planning to re-watch the movie, you can figure it out for yourself if you like. Plus, it looked like the beginning of the film spent some time on the cutting room floor in post production because some of it made little sense in setting up the rest of the film. Having watched both "Attack Force" and "Submerged" previously where basically the whole films were cut-up post production, you can see why I was concerned!

But about 20-30 minutes into the film it started getting much better and the story actually flowed pretty well. I'm just not a fan of this storyline too much - Russian mobsters. Nice strip club scene by the way though, thanks for that! LOL

This film reminded me a lot of two of his other films: "Shadow Man" (2006) and "Black Dawn" (2005) though those films were set in Eastern Europe and have more of an espionage-quality to them. This film was less entertaining than those two, but did have some pretty good fight scenes and not a lot of annoyingly obvious stunt double work as compared to some of his other direct to videos. All-in-all a decent effort and one that I can recommend for Seagal fans.

Final Grade: C+

Straight to the Dumpster
2009-12-12 - I thought Seagal wasn't making movies any more. I was right. This isn't a movie. It's hard to imagine where he still gets financial backing from. Ever since above the law and the first under siege movie he's been coasting and cranking out one clunker after another. I own over 2000 DVD's but I won't be buying this one. It's not worth a nickel.

How Many Abducted Daughters/Nieces Does He Have?
2009-11-10 - How many seconds in the opening minutes did the camera stay focused on a string of pearls lying on the floor? Answer: A little less than 6 seconds. An indication of boredom to follow!
How many times can a person make money off of retreads? Answer: Over 30.
How many times have Seagal's movies involved him having a family member killed/abducted by bad "whatevers"? Answer: Most of those 30.
How many weapons in Seagal's movie arsenal? Answer: Lost track.
How many times does he intersperse gun play with fight scenes using his stiff as a board "move your hands around" and pan the camera? Answer: Almost every movie.
How many of his movies have "kill" or some variation of "death" in the title? Answer: 8.
How many times did I fall asleep and not even bother to finish the movie? Answer: 1 and that's sufficient to resolve my mistake.

Steven Seagal is the best!!!!!!!!!!!
2009-10-27 - You losers. Steven Seagal is the best, this is his best movie in last five years. Very true to life in way that Russian mafia works, perfect movie, go rent it or buy it like I did. Honestly, Steven Seagal would kick everybody's behind, including Bruce Lee, Chuck Norris, Jeah claude Van Dam, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, and Arnold. Yeah, how I know this? Because I am also an expert in Aikido, Jujutsu and Kenjutsu. I know what works. Kung Fu is joke, Japanese occupied Chine in 5 minutes back in the days, art of samurai is clearly superior to Kung Fu and all others. Five star film, go see it, and if you don't get it, go learn something about Samurai and Ninja for real. Here is a tip for you - learn from Japanese sensei, not American. Good luck to you. Grasshopper. Hahahaha!!!!
