That was a cruel and selfish thing to do.


Blinding that mob boss wouldn't make him any less dangerous. He'd still be able to use his financial influence to have people killed. Only now, he'd be embittered and likely even more deadly because something of value was taken from him and can never be returned. If anything, he'd be more aggressive as a result. He might not be able to wield a gun himself, but he can more than afford to have others kill on his behalf.

Not to mention that intentionally blinding another person would be an inhumane thing to do in and of itself. In what world did they ever think it would be justifiable for the hero to do such a thing?

Yeah, he'd be really p!ssed off that he couldn't enjoy any more seedy strip shows, haha...

Indeed.

And what was the first thing that the boss man did? Feel around for his gun. If he could have still seen he would have gone to his associate, got his gun (which had not been fired) and gone out of the room killing anything he saw, and try and kill the father and daughter. By blinding him, Jack Foster, was protecting his escape, the boss man could not call up his men to go to the airport and kill Jack Foster and his daughter (or the taxi girl).

Killing him would have been the more logical thing to do though. After all, the man is still a rich and powerful villain. Being blinded, he could still order a hit out on Seagal and the family. That is, unless he was arrested off-screen or something.

I'm wondering in what world do you live? What you see in this picture is a small part of a bigger picture: the REAL LIFE in Bucharest and ex-soviet republics.

I was admit i was surprised but at the same time liked that he did this, a bastard like him deserved this, he lost his men, he lost his eyes, he has nothing now more or less... I think its good kharma.
