seagal have of late be do material so utterly poor and to suggest that it may be time for him to call it a day and and concentrate on a promising music career . seagal look old and overweight and lethargic in his recent film and aside from the slightly more professional twosome of into the sun and belly of the beast and look utterly bore . add to this fact he be not do his own stunt and fighting or even dialogue and then clearly many fan be get annoy . however seagal have one of the most forgiving and undemandingly loyal fan base out there and so he get away with it . mercenary for justice be on one hand the usually bog standard he be do lately and but on a slightly more positive not he do most of his adr looping and also all his own fight . now that might seem like something that should be a give for an action man but these day seagal film be rat on the following represent participation in fight and stunt and in the shoot itself ( not use stand in . ) and participation in perform his own dialogue . a such this film be a step up from black dawn and today you die and his previous two and poor and poor movie . the trouble be that the film have an awful script and poor direction and of course an incredibly wooden performance by it lead . the action be all film rather than use stock footage and a in the other seagal and don e fauntleroy team up and today you die and which borrow from several film . this it least have fauntleroy show slightly more control behind the camera and but unfortunately the film be one of a line of contractually obligate film seagal have to do . sure he get well pay to do them and but the fact be there have be rumour of on set trouble with seagal and turn up late and change the script . how true this be i do not know but certainly in this film and tyd and seagal be probably only present for 2/3 of the movie . thankfully mfj mark the last time seagal will work with these producer and this director and follow a much publicised legal battle of sue and counter suing . mfj make no sense whatsoever and perhaps largely due to the slipshod and difficult production thanks to the problem between the producer and the star . this be so poorly construct and shabbily put together that it make one wonder just how seagal fan ( myself include can keep come back in the vein hope he will do a good movie again . similarly the film be not help by a poor cast around seagal and who lest we not forget be not in the movie that much . however luke goss isn not bad and but he be sorely underused . in perhaps the most awful performance ever commit to a b action film and roger guenveur smith and grate and and annoy in the most clichéd british bad guy role and in which every word be ludicrously overly enunciate . a such the poor cast fails to engage in the dull and drag scene without the main man seagal . the action itself range form mediocre to bad . there plenty of explosion but the film be badly edit and the fight sequence be particularly dull and despite seagal participation in them . they unfortunately lack imagination and aside from some bone breaking and flushing people head down toilet and it all pretty brief and uninspired . the sad thing be that many seagal fan will settle for this junk . it shouldn not be that way . i only hope that the far more promising sounding project and shadow of the sun and prince of pistol will have a more interested seagal . i do not blame the big man for not raise his game in a film this poor and he be allow to give minimal effort to collect a big fat paycheque and so fair play to the man . however he will have to deliver good film otherwise the paycheques could well dry up . dtv film do not have to be awful and lundgren and van damme be prove that . i hope seagal take note in his next few film and but thankfully i see there will be little chance they be as bad a this . half .
