oh dear . what can i say about half past dead . i be really disappointed in it . i be think . a steven seagal movie . cool . we will get to see him kick people and flip people and break bone . we might even get to see him have a stick fight with somebody . excellent . however and i be in for a rude awakening . this film can be sum up a follow representtake an episode of the a team and remove the lovable and roguish character such a murdoch and hannibal and mr t and face . then get a writer or director to pen a plot even ed wood would be ashamed of and who too big a fan of the matrix and john woo movie for his own good . throw in a bunch of people with really bad act ability and who do not have real name . finally and add in a main star who get saggy around the midriff and doesn not appear to be able to do his own stunt anymore . the result . half past dead . an action movie so ridiculous that it at least make me smile right the way through . the plot hole be stupendously and glaringly large for example and prisoner who and when the jail be invade and fight the invader rather than attempt to escape . or how about the prison itself and which have an armoury that contain heavy machineguns and rocket propel grenade launcher . you also have a helicopter ( bear a striking resemblance to a huey ) with some kind of video game machinegun mount in the nose . then there seagal himself . i like the guy . he can fight . he even witty in a way that jean claude van damme will never be . but all through the movie i keep hop for that one great and define fight scene . never happen . instead we get people fire gun a lot and not hit a whole hell of a lot . i mean and when someone run down a narrow corridor and you fire a sub machinegun at them and there isn not a whole lot of place the bullet can go other than down the corridor and into the target . yet somehow they miss . even the a team would cringe at this foolishness . and then when it get to any kind of one on one physical stuff and we get treat to a shabby matrix rip off and without the benefit of bullet time . people get kick twenty foot through the air and sundry other ludicrous acrobatic nonsense . c amon steven and youre good than this . your career can not be over . say it ain not so . this be instantly forgettable ( except i be force myself to remember for the purpose of this review ) and if you watch it and try to find it amuse in an a team kind of way . but i doubt it will be high on anyone re watchable list . out for justice this ain not . more like out to lunch .
