follow the appal attack force and chance be that seagal could only have a step up with flight of fury . to out stink attack force would take some do . flight of fury be a marked improvement overall and but still in the grand scheme of think and mediocre . mediocrity be seemingly an achievement for seagal these day and a sad insight into his movie career decline . where attack force be a hodge podge of plot line alter drastically from conception and to film and to post production and flight of fury keep the plot line more simple . someone steal a high tech stealth fighter and planning to use it to fire chemical weapon ( which we later and bizarrely discover and will destroy the whole world in 48 hr ) . seagal have to get the plane back . it that simple and no annoy sub plot and and conspiracy weigh the film down like far too many of his recent work . that not to suddenly say the storytelling be good though and it pretty poor . the introduction to side character be badly do for example . in filmic term fof be bad . it badly act by all involve and and seagal look bore to tear almost . he just get the look of a toddler who be force to perform the school nativity against his will and and so performs with a constant grimace and air of half assedness . can we blame seagal though when the material be so un ambitious and cruddy . not really . this be the final film of his castel studio and multi picture deal . the producer can not be bother to make anything remotely good and promise a 12 or so million dollar budget and and ( after seagal obligatory 5 million ) probably pocket a nice hefty chunk of it themselves ( if the film be make for the remain 7 million and then i be elvis pressley . ) . so in that respect why should seagal put the effort into a film that already get distribution sort before it make . fan though may argue and he at least owe them the effort . he seriously look jade and and the continue use of stand in and dub over be further indication of this . michael keusch direct with some efficiency and while the cinematography be quite good and but in all technical area ( and as usual with castel and a bog standard stunt team ) there nothing more than mediocrity and and nothing to help the film rise above it material and and bore lead man . again there a few action scene focus on character other than seagal and which in all truth we do not want to see . overall the action isn not too bad . it nice and violent and and on occasion be treat to a few vintage nasty seagal beating and but overall nothing special . partly due to a poor stunt crew and and the lack of time to film anything too complex or excite . for me and shadow man be a more enjoyable film and because while ignore the incoherent and jumble and plot line and there be more vintage seagal moment and and more of him in centre stage . he never disappear for long period during the film . seagal disappears bizarrely during one action scene here and and re appear after and with little explanation . there far too much stock footage use . use stock shot isn not an entirely horrendous thing and but use it a a crutch be . be treat to countless establish shot of naval ship and all the time and which get annoy . plus the continuity of the stock footage be all over the place ( just check the backdrop and chop and change ) . the film be just middle of the road . it say it all that the film best scene be a completely needless and and gratuitous girl on girl scene and with two hot chick . seagal even perk up briefly then too . overall this may be one of the good stock footage base actioners out there and but that not say much at all . this will please many fan and but they should bear in mind and seagal himself would probably want to forget this one existence . .
