Well ... Actually, Bad.
If you liked the other Seagal Movies, then this one won't be worst not better.

Seagal continues to push his economies of scale in B action movies, actually econo-movies of scale. (mass production of cheap action movies).

On the other side this movie is enjoyable because of its many continuity goofs.

By the way has anyone noticed, in other Seagal movies recently. Seagal uses a hair-do double for his showing his back scenes.

Whenever Seagal is showing the back of his head on a still scene, it is not him, it is a younger double with greased and nice combed hair. When the scene switches back to his face, you notice the difference with his messed up hair piece.


Let's take a look at what i mean. (maybe i'm wrong)

I wonder if in the cast-credits the guy is listed as Seagal Hair-do double ?

hehehe

Yeah I noticed this. Cant really understand why if he's there for the front why not the back. Going bald doesnt make sense as his hair looks thick enough to cover any bald patches.

ive noticed the bad body doubles for years, its such a shame oh sorry SHAM, that he cant be bothere nor arsed to get a body double that even resembles him. heck segal is far chunky aroudn the shoulders and face than his BD yet consisitantly its always the back shots that are BD'D.

and now as ive pointed out in tonights posts or i shoudl say my review, the fact that in a fight scene in the house near the end, its plainly cgis with his face on a body double with a fake belly lol

Is it really a Seagal film when all we see are brief shots of him raising his hand up, cleverly spliced with footage of a double doing the actual fighting with the occasional cut back to Seagal pulling a sour-look face and moving his hands slowly for a second?

Who are you talking to? Me?

I haven't downloaded it at all. I haven't even seen this one but I just know what to expect. Segal's not even in half of the movies he does nowadays, it's all shots of his double.

reply

What surprised me is how incredibly fat his fat face is in this shot.

While from behind the head itself looks a lot slimmer.

I did notice the use of body doubles in a few scenes when Segal's character had his back to the camera. I wondered why they did that as it didn't/doesn't make sense to me...expecially when the body double is obviously much smaller than the actor.

Does anyone know the reason for using a body double for shots when an actor's back is to the camera? I understand the reasons for using body doubles for stunts and nude scenes.

reply

I assume it's so that they can reshoot a new take of the other guy's dialogue without needing to get Seagal back for the scene.
