Holy Crap! The best movie ever?

I just finished watching this for the first time in ten years and I'll be damned if this wasn't one of the greatest movies I've ever seen! I mean, you go into a Seagal picture expecting, well, just another Seagal picture, but this one takes the cake. Words cannot describe how badass this movie is. Seagal busting everybody's balls, discussing orafices and ointments with the sheriff, playing the guitar??? Call me naive or mentally challenged or whatever, but that's just good old fashioned cinema.

I liked it too. I think it's the best Seagal movie.

I think this is his best movie storywise.Yesh he does what he does,but there was actual heart and sould into this movie.His character didn't go around non-stop kicking the crap out of everybody.He actually was a good character which was rare for a Seagal film.This was in my opinion his best character in film simply because he had to really act the part out and he played the character really well.Kris Kristofferson was great as the villain which helped it even more.I know some people might say Above The Law and Under Siege,but this to me just seemed perfect for him.

I saw this movie today for the first time and thought it was a pretty cool action movie. Of course its cheesy, but thats what makes it so awesome.

It has a good story I must admit. One of his best. But what happened?? the last good movie I saw him in was 'Machete'!!
