Why do I torture myself....?

Got this film today and thought it about time to give old 'untouchable' Steve another chance, didn't fancy Against the Dark as Seagal's last encounter with vampires, or were they drug addicts? In Attack Force, raised more questions than it answered.

Long story short this film sucked some serious butt, the fightscenes were few and far between, and were all edited like crap with things constantly in the way of the camera. Seagal didn't seem to change expressions for 90 minutes (i've seen more emotive range from a brick wall), the editting over all was rubbish. I'm sure it wasn't as bad as the infamous 'Kill Switch window scene' but there were shots were Seagal walked past the same 2 people 3 times. And to top it all off, the ending scene before the credits was just the opening in reverse!

I wasn't expecting cinematic revolution, but damn this one hurt in the wallet department.

I share your sentiments. Not really a big Seagal fan myself except for his handful of best 90's movies, but from time to time I try to watch one of his newer movies in the hope they're at least mediocre. This one clearly wasn't even that.

Can't be more agree with the OP!

Prostitute: What the *beep* are you doing?
Johnny: I'm gonna kill a bunch of people.
