Diagonaldi Very well executed

Actuakers One of my all time favorites.

PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Leofwine_draca Seagal's second film after his excellent debut NICO: ABOVE THE LAW isn't in the same class as that film – but then it doesn't feature Andrew Davis's assured direction or the same level of realism when it comes to the scripting. Instead, this is more of a by-the-numbers B-movie, similar to dozens of such films that populated '90s era video rental shelves, usually starring the likes of Jeff Speakman and Lorenzo Lamas. However, it's far from a lost cause and I'd define it as one of Seagal's better outings, certainly more enjoyable – and latterly, well-made – than most of the films he's made during the 2000s. Director Bruce Malmuth is a sporadic talent at best, having started out with Stallone thriller NIGHTHAWKS back in 1981 and finished with 1994's Lundgren actioner PENTATHLON, but he has a certain flair for visuals and well-staged martial arts bouts.Even this early on in his career, Seagal's acting is sub-par, and he seems quite wooden – probably on the same level as an actor like Sam Jones or Roddy Piper. He doesn't have the same level of intensity that we saw in NICO: ABOVE THE LAW or OUT FOR JUSTICE, or it may be that he's playing a weak character who we learn nothing about – apart from his coma (check out the amusing false beard). Still, Seagal looks like a thespian when compared to his then-wife Kelly Le Brock, here playing a love interest. Le Brock is absolutely awful, and that's being kind.The film is fairly well placed and contains plentiful action, kicking off with a store robbery and then mixing it up with shoot-outs, the odd car chase, and some hand to hand combat. Seagal breaks a few arms and legs here and there, although the violence isn't dwelt upon as it was in the same year's MARKED FOR DEATH. Still, this is a film with a formula that follows a simple pattern: action-lull-action and so on. William Sadler makes for an effective bad guy, even if he is underutilised, and Frederick Coffin is sympathetic in support as the loyal cop buddy. It's not a great film by any means but those looking for solid if undistinguished thrills won't be disappointed.

SnoopyStyle There is some good stuff here. But we do need more Seagal action. The best thing is maybe the super hot Kelly LeBrock as a nurse. Can we get a sponge bath? Steven does some Eastern Medicine stuff, does some fighting, and you know.... Seagal needs to expand his acting skills. Or else they need to cover the bad acting with a funny sidekick or a lot of big action. At least they got LeBrock as a distraction.Mason Storm (Steven Seagal) films Senator Vernon Trent (William Sadler) in a compromising dockside conversation to corrupt cops. Then they come after him. His wife was killed, and they think they killed him, too. Unknown to them, he was only in a Coma. Seven years later, he comes out of the coma, and the senator comes after him again. Nurse Andy Stewart (Kelly LeBrock) is caught in the gunfight, and she helps Mason escape the hospital. This time, Mason need to take down the senator once and for all.

julesdil Awful this hard to kill action film was a waste of my time , for a start it does a annoying soundtrack some boring action that is so tame , and acting which fails to be good. Every bit of the plot is standard a group of hit men kill segal although he is still alive then he kills them , then when the action and revenge scenes come it is so tame , only a bit of blood and a group of tame shootouts and the typical , gun , fight , odd quote , just miss it. I think people just don't agree but they should because many others will hate this film and haaa they should make a good action film , this uggggg get the bin out . overrated 15 certificate for moderate violence.

Boba_Fett1138 Oh yes, of course this movie is ridicules and in a way also a bad one. But it's simply true that movies such like this one are simply fun to watch.The movie simply serves its purpose, you could say. It's just being a dumb action flick, in the vein of the '80's genre movies, that uses a simple and straightforward concept and features plenty of action in it.The fact that this movie so often picks a simple and straightforward approach also ensures that it's being filled with some incredibly dumb moments. But it really is not annoyingly dumb but more dumb and simplistic in a fun and innocent kind of way. This is certainly a movie you could sit down for and simply have a good time with, without having to worry too much about the story or all of the different character's motivations.It's a revenge flick. as plain and simple as that. Not a spectacular and original one in any way but then again, it also most certainly is not as bad as some other generic and predictable genre movies out there. At least this movie still has plenty to offer, entertainment-wise.It has some pretty hard action in at times, which is always neat to see for an action genre lover. It's not like there's an awful lot of blood in this but a lot of gruesome stuff gets implied, which does work out effective for this particular movie. It's not something I normally like in an action movie. I mean, don't just imply! You should either show and do stuff or you shouldn't do it at all. But yes, it still does work out well for this movie, since it all got done in a convincing way, with the occasional gruesome sound-effect of a limb that gets broken. All of course done by non other than Steven Seagal himself!Luckily this is not really a movie or type of role that requires Steven Seagal to do an awful lot of acting in it. He mostly relies on just his natural charisma and fighting skills for this movie and there is nothing wrong with that, as long as the movie benefits from all of this, as it does in this case. I'm most definitely not a Seagal fan but I really did like him in this particular movie and it's definitely true that without him this probably would had been one awful genre flick!Of course there is nothing too brilliant or original about this movie but it most certainly is a decent watch!6/10 http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
