The pointless storyline, directing, everything about it just, sucks!


No offence to the people who like this movie it's just my opinion!

True - the ending is interesting too. I hate movies with the quiet good guy who looks like a gorilla in a suit (see also Be Cool), who floats through life without getting shot, and knows surgery on top of everything else.

I have never seen such a crap film in my life. I cannot believe you guys are being so nice about it! The ending is interesting? Who the hell puts down their gun to fight a child-molestering murderer with a sword just out of 'honour' or some *beep* How the hell did the girl know he would be at the embassy?! What the hell kind of agency did he work for? Why is he still able to waltz around like he's the *beep* when he's 120 pounds over weight?! Why one earth does he still use that crappy Browning Colt-wanabe pistol when it went out of date in about 1920. Why the hell didn’t he throw a grenade into the corridor when all those guys were after him in the whorehouse at the end? How come that woman completely ignored the fact that she had a hole in her shoulder for the entire rest of the film after Seagal had sewn it back together? What the hell is wrong with the god damned director??!! This film is an atrocity!

Go to the loo, 'cause all the *beep* is coming out your mouth instead of your a-hole...

And who the hell are all the agents at the start that he beats up for know reason. Im with ya man this movie did not have anything that made sence or a point.

Duuuuude! What the hell??!!! In Belly of the Beast, or Exit Wounds, you can leave your brain at the door. You can't do that here. I needed all my brainpower just to keep myself sane. If the action had been top notch then of course it would have been okay - just mindless excuse for action. But the fact was, the action was mediocre at best. And they tried to make a fancy story line, but they just cut so much stuff out the middle that nothing connected anymore. I just can't enjoy it! Under Siege I & II were films I enjoyed. Belly of the Best, Exit Wounds were also pretty sweet. But this?

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't agree as it happens, but everybody is entitled to opinions, so fair enough. But here is a new one for you guys - I saw Out for a Kill the other day. Try arguing that that is a good film. Go on, I dare you!

I just thought the whole thing was unbelievable. When some *beep* terrorist murders your partner and then your wife, if you just happen to be some insane martial artist, you don't amble and wander about tripping people up and poking people in the neck with a sombre expression on your face - you scream at them with fury in your eyes as you ram a twelve gauge or red hot poker down their *beep* throat. He just had no emotion for someone who should have a whole hell of a lot of emotion. In fact, he never has any emotion. But this was the worst.

And also, I was confused about what was happening. And I thought it was supposed to be impossible to get confused in a Steven Seagal movie. All I want is a simple plot about a bad-ass ex-elite martial artist/navy SEAL/whatever who is now a nature-lover/orphanage-owner/tree-hugger-with-style who takes on an army of bad guys cause they *beep* with his buddies, or nature, or whatever else. And lots of cool fighting and tacky lines. THAT is what I want! And THAT is what we used to get (On Deadly Ground anyone?). But now, they try to be cleaver, but all they actually are is crap.

Yeah, it's when you can't keep up with the story that it pisses me off. I like it short and simple, with kick-ass fighting and a sarcastic hero who can afford to be sarcastic because he knows he is insane at fighting. Now he seems to have risen to the plane of a deity where bullets slide off him people can never hit him. And the stories are so *beep* stupid that they are impossible to follow!
