Hands down the worst movie I have ever seen. The script, the action, the directing, the acting - all terrible. And yet, every time I see it on TV i can't stop watching it. One of the worst and most compulsively watchable movies ever; in particular, the final speech by Seagal is absolutely absurd and hilarious. Favorite quote - "There is no 'I' in 'Team', 'Team' is spelled 'T-E-A-M'" (as the 'bad guy' tortures an innocent old man), or something to that effect anyway. Haha.
shareNOPE.....good movie
shareI just watched this again recently- I was appalled at how terrible it was. The funny thing was, Seagal was a terrorist in this movie! He was clearly a psychopathic villain, and I found myself hoping that someone would kill him. He brutally murdered a bunch of people for the simple fact that they worked for an oil company, yet the only vehicles he drives in the film are full sized Suburbans and Yukons. When he actually needs to get something done, he forgoes the dogsled for a snowmobile. What a hypocrite! I can't stand the sight of him anymore.
I once dated a midget- I was just nuts over her.
Basil Poledouris(Robocop, Conan The Barbarian)wrote a music score for this turd? Oh, Basil, how could you?!

Seagal was clearly a terrorist in the movie. He didn't want to go to the proper authorities? He had evidence on the evil oil company.
He never tried to bring anyone in for trial, he just started beating the hell out of everyone, shooting them or worse. The worse part was the moronic speech at the end. Look, we have to have oil to power our economy- period! I have yet to see a car powered by solar panels or a dam windmill!
Seagal does better when he plays a cop like in Marked For Death or Above the Law. Under Siege (the first one) was okay but the sequel was laughable. Now he turns out two movies a year it seems that are direct to DVD...
this movie is far from "the worst movie" ever.
theres ALWAYS someone who makes a post like this in damn near every thread.
3.5/10? please... it's better than that i seen movies rated much higher than this that are worse than this.
this is a good for tv movie ;)
i say 6/10 myself.
Yeah, folks from the anti-Seagal brigade just love to inform everyone how Steven has never made a decent movie in his entire career!!!
shareHis only good movies are the Under Siege ones. The rest are crap just like your taste in movies.

My taste in movies in none of your business. You're not a Seagal fan, obviously, all his movies, except those you mentioned are rubbish according to you, right Mr. expert? I suppose all his real fans who enjoy them must have crappy taste just like me then, huh!!! You moron.
shareSo you like crappy movies?
shareNot his best but better than anything Van Damme ever did.

He probably released more toxic fumes into the atmosphere during the making of this film than the Hertz fleet could over the course of a year. I wish that somebody would assess the environmental impact of a blockbuster movie (landfills of paper waste from refreshments and merchandising tie-ins, emissions from cars commuting to and from the theater complexes, etc.) and put one of these rich, hypocritical "environmentalist" stars on the spot.
Seagal originally wanted to make his closing speech 20 minutes long, which might have rivaled the atmospheric effect of bovine gas emissions.
" I suppose all his real fans who enjoy them must have crappy taste just like me then, huh!!!"
Yes.
Seagal's best movie and one of the best I've seen. What matters is the message behind it. Nevermind that the main character had to have military/CIA background again:P We are one with nature.
shareThe tears roll down my face and, as I reflect on the impact, I realize, my life will never be the same... But enough about football. The movie seems better when you're hung over and drifting in and out of sleep. About the only thing moving about this movie were the credits.
shareI've enjoyed this one more than that piece of *beep* Spielberg movie called War Horse. This is definitely a bad movie, but it's so bad it's good. War Horse is just bad.
shareIt's funny I was huge Seagal fan when this came out and went to see this 3 times in theater! It's one of those films that has alot of terrible momments but also has some good ones. In my theater on opening night, which was almost sold out, the part where the oil rig is about to blow at the end and jennings leaves and tells other to stay, then they all get up and leave too got big laughs an clapping. Also the fight scene where Seagal hits the guy in the face with pipe is the single best shot in any Seagal film. I think with a little editing this could have been a good film.
shareI love this film. It's total crap, but it's fun crap.
I just can't get over the concept of trying to pair an environmental awareness film with a ridiculously violent action movie. The two just so blatantly cannot compliment each other that this film deserves an award for even trying. I mean Seagal sticks a knife through a man's head, and then expects us to care about his thoughts on fossil fuels! Great fun.
