Seagal vs DMX DMX vs Montini SPOILER

This is an entertaining, fast-paced action movie, but the fighting scenes don't make any sense. At the beginning, Seagal single-handedly thwarts an assassination attempt on the Vice President by a heavily armed paramilitary group, he overpowers two burly bouncers with relative ease, but then he can't handle DMX ?? And DMX, who fights so well against Seagal, takes quite a beating from Montini and only survives by resorting to a trick..

Correct, however he had to use a large van as well as his gun to shoot a few militants (not entirely unrealistic), shoots the helicopter's fuel tank, causing it to explode (the likelihood of that happening isn't high, but it's not unrealistic either). The most unrealistic thing in that scene was that he threw the VP over the bridge which he didn't really need to do.

he overpowers two burly bouncers with relative ease

He didn't do it with ease, it took some effort... however being a 7th Dan in Aikudo would mean that he would be a very smart and dangerous fighter himself.

but then he can't handle DMX ??

He does fight against DMX.... it's just that he didn't use weapons or try to actually hurt him... he was more of less just trying to get back at DMX for all the times he thought he was trying to kill him.

And DMX, who fights so well against Seagal, takes quite a beating from Montini and only survives by resorting to a trick..

Actually his fighting was effected because he had concrete powder in his eyes and couldn't see very well!
