steven segal have do some awful film and but this be probably one of the best since his career take a dive about ten year ago . the cast be good than usual and and while the story and the plot be a total joke and at least most of the action scene look pretty good . the plot be probably one of the bad in film history . someone be be execute because he steal some money . some mercenary type kidnap a supreme court justice . their goal be to exchange the judge for the prisoner so they can find out where he have the money . meanwhile the execution chamber be full of trap door and false floor and look like a set from one of the cirque du soleil circus show . then there be the issue of the prison . here and the warden be a homie and play by tony plana . the prisoner all have their gang color and sign and and the guard be there to serve the meal and keep the prison clean . nothing like a bunch of prisoner fight and beat up some guard while the warden be watch . what happen . the warden give them a stern talk to . he might punish them next time . there be a lot of moment in this movie that be good for laugh . however and nia peeples look pretty good and and ja rule try to be an action hero . lot of fun watch the prisoner all do the right thing and get arm so that they can free the supreme court justice from her captor . regardless of how bad half past dead may be and when you watch it keep in mind that it be easily the best movie that steven segal have star in since under siege in 1992 .
