Details

Seagal stars as mob kingpin Mr. Alexander, an old-school boss who rules his criminal empire with both nobility and brutality. For a simple prison hit, he sends his best enforcer and protégé Roman Hurst (Foster). When the hit goes wrong, Hurst is forced to pay the price of his failure: banishment in the city that he almost once ruled. But a war is brewing for the soul of the city between Alexander, a cold-blooded gangster known as 'The Iceman" (Rhames) and a merciless Mexican cartel. Hurst, with the help of an ex-con restaurant owner (Trejo) who has a few hidden moves of his own, will rediscover his own will to survive the coming conflict and to wreak vengeance on those who have wronged him.

Logan By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
Michael Ledo Mr. Alexander (Steven Seagal) is an ex-government agent who learned "things" in the mountains of Thailand. He is now the crime boss over the city of Albuquerque. Iceman (Ving Rhames) has recently got out of prison and is challenging Alexander, who simply wants to be bought out honorably. In what passes for a Seagal subplot, Roman Hurst (Bren Foster)who works for Alexander, gets double crossed by Iceman and is forced to retire, losing the use of his hands- somewhat, but he can still slow motion kickbox. He now lives in a room off a diner owned by Alexander and run by Jimmy Peanuts (Danny Trejo). The waitress (Jenny Gabrielle) becomes a focal point, because that is where the crime boss likes his girlfriend to work.The plot, like Seagal is straight forward. Trejo supplies us with a surprise, but the plot is not twisty. The tough guy dialog is cliche, using lines like, "You broke the code." Seagal is a bad guy who kills people, but commands with over doses of corny respect speeches. At one point Seagal sits down and describes his gun collection, giving us the advantage points of each piece, topping it off with "Isn't that amazing."I found this to be a better quality Seagal film, as he is not in every scene and shares with Rhames and Trejo.
Uriah43 This movie concerns a former government assassin by the name of "Alexander Coates" (Steven Seagal) who has decided to relocate to Albuquerque, New Mexico and start his own criminal business there. After and long and successful career he now considers retiring but finds that another ambitious crook by the name of "Ice Man" (Ving Rhames) wants to take over and has no intention of letting Alexander leave gracefully. Likewise, another minor crime boss named "Constantine" (Ivan G'Vera) also wants a piece of his business as well. Therefore, realizing that war is just around the corner, Alexander calls out to a former, down-on-his-luck protégé named "Roman Hurst" (Bren Foster) to help him out. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought this was a fairly good movie overall with plenty of action to keep things moving along at a reasonably fast pace. Admittedly, it's not a great movie by any means but it managed to keep my attention just the same. On a side note, I should probably mention that this movie has a prequel by the title of "A Good Man" which might be of interest to those who enjoy films of this type. In any case, I rate this film as slightly above average.
becky878 This movie rocks! The quality is way better than most of his films and it has some real star power. Steven isn't even the main good guy. He is a bad guy boss, and he is black Steven Seagal - one of my favorites. The newer the Seagal movie, the more he talks in a nearly offensive black person accent, or what he thinks black people sound like. I don't think he realizes how funny he is. I love Seagal for his comedy as much as his ass-kicking. Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo are great in this movie as well. The dialogue between Steven and Rhames during a few of their scenes is spectacular. I had to rewind a couple scenes because I couldn't understand the jive talk Steven was laying down to Iceman (Ving Rhames). There is a part where someone gets stabbed and then a few scenes later is found bleeding out, and he is just talking normal and smiling with a knife sticking out of his heart. They even use scorpion stings to heal people with voodoo magic because that makes perfect sense. There are just so many amazing scenes that embody the Seagalisms I watch these movies for and it also has the fighting. So it is the best of both types of Steven movies, just without much fighting from Steven. Overall, the action and production quality is way above many Seagal films, and the supporting cast is really good surrounding Steven. You will love the one liners in this one. Very highly recommended!
Mohamed Fahim I'm a martial artist fan and practiced some styles as well and a huge fan of Action movies. After several films I stopped Segal's films as they are dramatic and we don't get a feeling of watching a movie instead of watching a South Asian Drama in a television but bad time I had to watch this, that time I understood even I can make far better films than this.Director, Is this a story? Just adding Marlin Brando's "God Father" voice is not sufficient to make a film to be successful. First of all watch some action/martial arts movies or at least "God Father" fully and try to understand what a film making is. In which world when the commandos in operation change the holding position of the Machine Gun? This much of a biggest DON cannot figure out the person who was with him genuinely for years actually made the mistake or not.Producer, form a group of fans like us (At least 5)and we'll make a 100 times better movie. Director please do not produce any more films and Segal, please don't act in Action movies, you far better suitable for family business oriented films, you have a huge future there, better consider it and you won't regret it.
