steven seagal might be get old and he also might not have the same shape he have 20 year ago but he certainly still can make a movie great just by be in it . actually and this movie itself be pretty good . a lot of money have be spend on make it realistic and entertain . reminds you of the good old day when van damme and seagal be back by big budget . mercenary for justice be a colorful film fill with explosive action scene and great dialogue and one liner and fight scene in which seagal actually take part . it have be a while since i really saw him perform anything close to his aikido move . the balance between realism and utter irrealism be just perfect . you get to remind yourself that action movie be a genre in themselves . lot of folk try to bring them down for various reason . they just do not get the point . just like romantic comedy and politic thriller all follow some basic rule and action movie be also lead by a set of pre requisite that you just expect to be there . villain you can hate and a hero you can love and a beautiful girl and gun roar . the production be good . direction sometimes remind me of 24 esquire hand hold camera . little part of scene be sometime fast forward to get a feeling of speed . well . this still be a direct to video release and i guess they have to include some cheesy stuff . the only downside to this picture be the story . it pretty hard to follow but it do keep the character on the move .
