Just my curiousity, but does Seagal have a beef with the CIA in real life? I mean, in "Belly of the Beast", "Above the Law" and this movie (to name a few), he's ex-CIA and always complaining about how bad the CIA is. I want to say it's just the script, but this trend is too common so I want to think otherwise
shareI think he was pointing a finger of blame at them as to how shady and out of step they really are as an organization, one only needs to know that they had pre 9/11 intelligence on Osama Bin Laden that could have taken him out before the big disaster.
Master card player? Resort casino owner?? or SS car enthusiast??? Make your best guess!
Seagal started his career by intimating that he had actually worked for the CIA and that many of the stunts in his first big movie (Above the Law) were actually things he had done during his work with the CIA. Eventually several retired CIA agents came out on record saying that Steve had worked for the CIA only in his dreams. This may have something to do with it.
shareBut they would say that....
shareI'll second that.
by the way Mike Ruppert has had similar problems with the DEA and CIA. He was in law enforcement and had quite a career until they booted him out, and tried to kill him. He's been on record with the same stuff Steven S. has been saying for years. Mostly what steven s. claimed in his first movie. Regardless of whether Steven was actually in the CIA, he knows his facts.
