Was this any good?

Just watched this. Yeah this was overall a very disappointing film after stuff like Driven to Kill and The Keeper.
Good Points:
- The fights were great (although editing was still a bit meh) and Seagal pulled some of his coolest moves in a while, although no-one put up much of a fight
- I enjoyed the score – found it genueinly exciting at times
- The villains were cool, although Darren needed more fighting IMO
- The very end scene with the chess set in the park was a nice ending I feel (then they had to ruin it by splicing in a stupid irrelevant gunshot)
Bad Points:
- Seagal seriously needs to lose weight, he’s lost all credibility as an action hero. This was his fattest ever! Also his character wasn’t very likeable.
- Film had a really cheap look to it throughout
- Dubbing!! Steve’s voice is dubbed a lot in this. Very distracting.
- Slowed down/sped up shots and editing were very annoying and distracting.
- Very one sided fights, Seagal barely gets scratched – removes all the tension.
- Subtitle style was annoying and jumpy.
- Weak plot, needed fleshing out a lot
- Stupid love scene with a girl young enough to be his granddaughter.

You’d think that given he wrote the script he’d a least care about the film enough to go back and do voice overs, but apparently not.

I’d like to see a film where Seagal is a broken man again, like Pistol Whipped. He would acknowledge his weight and age and get beaten badly to near death at times. Also, give him a budget of at least $15,000,000 and shoot in 2.35:1 aspect ratio which, IMO, always looks more impressive.

But yeah, crappy film, hope his new TV series is better. (3.5/10)
