Nonureva Really Surprised!

Protraph Lack of good storyline.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

vmalast Awful, just awful. I honestly couldn't finish it. Ya, I know it's pure fluff. Just an ego stroke for Mr. Seagal. I've seen better action on a kindergarten playground and, better acting. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to finish gouging out my eyes.

namashi_1 'Half Past Dead' is high on action & energy, thus, delivering what it promised: Tough Entertainment. 'Half Past Dead' Synopsis: A man who goes undercover in a hi-tech prison to find out information to help prosecute those who killed his wife. While there he stumbles onto a plot involving a death-row inmate and his $200 million stash of gold.'Half Past Dead' is time-pass entertainment. Its nothing legendary, but fairly engaging nonetheless. The Action-Sequences are energetic & leave a pretty good impact. The Screenplay is fair. Don Michael Paul's Direction is good. Performance-Wise: Steven Seagal is apt for this role. Ja Rule is okay. Morris Chestnut is sincere. Others lend the required support. On the whole, 'Half Past Dead' is certainly a watchable action flick.

dunsuls-1 The only bad part of this film is Steven Seagal,who now is old and fat so 1star off.Otherwise pure fantasy rush like the older more fit Seagal flicks.Who cares about plot in a good Seagal flick? Here he plays a DEEP FBI undercover agent,Sasha Petrosevitch, who becomes tight with Ja Rule as Nicolas 'Nick' Frazier as a way to get to the guy that killed his wife.Along the way they wind up in Alcatraz now run by Tony Plana as Warden El Fuego who is about to execute Bruce Weitz as Lester McKenna who is to die for a gold robbery of 200 million that left 5 federal agents dead.From there the plot really goes wild as you'd expect in a pure action flick.Add Morris Chestnut as bad guy 49er One / Donald Robert Johnson and Nia Peeples as sexy badass 49er Six and Seagals boss Claudia Christian as Special Agent Ellen Williams and a once really sexy from my youth Linda Thorson (tv series the avengers) but now a older woman as Judge Jane McPherson and good supporting actors, what more do you want??Oh even a closing credits for laughs scene with Kurupt and Mo'Nique. Released in 2002 it only runs 98 minutes.I can't get Ima bang by DMX out of my head.

gangstahippie I saw Half Past Dead back in 2003 and I forgot about it.I've been getting into Seagal again recently and I watched this film a few weeks ago.Most of Seagal's films were Rated R.This is his only PG-13-rated film to date(though "Fire Down Below" was a very tame R, could have easily been PG-13).I was surprised at the low score.Sure this film is no "Above The Law", "Under Siege" or any of Seagal's earlier works, but it is a fairly entertaining action film.It was better than "Fire Down Below", "On Deadly Ground" and the majority of his straight to video fare.The film is about an FBI agent who goes undercover in a new Alcatraz-like prison.A man who buried a large amount of money years ago is to be executed.However some terrorists break into the prison and force the man to tell them where the money is.Part of the film involves the terrorists(led by Morris Chestnut who previously was in Under Siege 2 and plays a fairly good role) playing mind games with the police officers and the hostages, one of whom is a supreme court judge.The other part involves Seagal, Ja Rule and the other prisoners trying to save everybody.Half Past Dead is a fairly underrated and decent enough Seagal film.Too bad that after this, he was reduced to crappy straight to video fare.
