the foreigner be a straight to video steven seagal film that be originally intend to be release a a theatrical feature in march and 2003 and an intention which be reportedly reverse when seagal prior film ( half past dead ) tank at the box office . accord to some report and the film have a lavish $ 20 million budget and include location shoot in warsaw and paris and and be complete a part of the studio obligation to a two picture deal which be negotiate after the relative success of exit wound seem to indicate that seagal still have a solid following . despite the size of their investment and sony screen gems probably make the right move in shelve this movie . it be nearly incomprehensible . what be i say . it be incomprehensible . i do not think i understand what be go on at all and except in the very broad term . seagal be employ by a mysterious guy to deliver a mysterious package to another mysterious guy . other mysterious guy try to stop him . other highly mysterious guy try to kill the moderately mysterious guy who try to stop him . other really and really mysterious guy do especially mysterious stuff and all of which which be in fact too mysterious for me to figure out . the intended recipient mysterious wife try to intercept the package before it can be deliver to her husband . because he be a self proclaim consummate professional who have be hire to deliver the package only into the hand of the husband and seagal at first defy the wife and then later get involve in protect her and her daughter from other mysterious guy with unexplained agenda and as well a from her husband . many people have mysterious and cryptic conversation . many people blow each other brain out . some guy seem to die more than once and while in other scene gunfight end without a clear view of the result and so the audience see somebody die and but be not sure which one of the gunslinger be head to boot hill . allegiance shift often and add further mystery . or should i say confusion . i do not know who be on whose side and or what anybody really want and and the resolution be as unsatisfying a the exposition . at the end of the movie and i just sit there think and that the end . what the . i couldn not even figure out the credit . imdb say that aussie actress kate fischer ( from siren ) be in this film and but i will be damn if i know where . either she be leave on the cutting room floor or she wisely opt out of the project . she could have find some activity more beneficial to her career and like have unnecessary surgery and rip those pesky insert card out of magazine and or take some community college course in animal husbandry . seagal use to be a pretty fair hand to hand combatant and but the action scene do not manage to redeem this film at all . seagal be in his 50 now and be a very large man and so he be reduce to a mimimal level of physical exertion and even during that he be contain in a knee length coat to hide his inchoate brandoesque girth . he might even get a little winded remove the wrapper from candy bar and although that understandable if you estimate just how many of those he must have to eat to maintain his present girth . steven seagal seem to be make a comeback with exit wound and but if his last film be half past dead and this one must be pretty close to fill out the other half .
