Donald Seymour This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
swedzin And here's another one. Another of those Steven Seagal's straight to DVD films… boring, with no acting, no interesting characters… not even interesting fighting scenes. Seagal is in his usual appearance, big, fat quietly voiced guy, who goes around and does nothing… just nothing. This is one of those rare films where Seagal ends up in the jail and he hangs pretty good there, as most of his characters, he is untouchable. He escapes to find guys who put him in there, on the way out he joins forces with Ice Cool (Anthony Criss) and that's it… a thief who seeks vengeance, like in the most Seagal films… nothing new. It's interesting to see appearances of Kevin Tighe and Nick Mancuso here… but don't expect that they saved this film. So, if you want to put yourself to sleep, here's another one of those films
Scarecrow-88 Steven Seagal is a thief who specializes in robbing wealther drug dealers, giving to the poor and unfortunate..heh, Harlan, the Robin Hood. Anyway, Harlan wants to go straight for his girl, Jada(Mari Morrow), so he takes on a job as the driver of an armoured car for a Max Stevens(Kevin Tighe, wasted in an underwritten role). Max intends to have the millions for himself and his unscrupulous associates, with the intent of using his loader, Bruno(Robert Miano)to bring him the money, but Harlan has other plans. Escaping the police, hiding the money, and ditching Bruno(who had a loaded gun pointed at Harlan's head threatening to shoot him if he didn't drive)after evading capture by ramming a huge dump truck, Harlan passes out. Charged with the murder of police among other things as a result of the damage caused by the high-speed chase, Harlan is imprisoned and many wish to know where the money is. Harlan joins forces with an inmate, Ice(Treach), a leader of one of the many gangs in the prison, breaking out with the plans of finding Max and eliminating every member of his corrupt entourage. Soon DEA agent Rachel Knowles(Sarah Buxton) becomes part of this scenario thanks to her boss, Saunders(Nick Mancuso)who claims there's drugs involved. Also injected into the plot is Harlan's desire to save a children's hospital about to close and Jada has mysterious dreams regarding Max.Seagal and Treach cut up with each other speaking in gangsta, while Buxton spends time trying to help Harlan, uncovering the possibility her boss is in cahoots with Max. Mancuso's character is an odd duck, allowing Rachel much leeway despite the threat she is to his career. Tighe shows up for five or so minutes tops, which is a shame. Seagal's Harlan escapes prison and finds each and every rich associate of Max's, inevitably discovering his whereabouts after cracking a few skulls, snapping some wrists, and breaking some bones. Treach speaks in his rapper speech and Seagal tries to answer him in kind, providing some unintentional laughs. As you'd expect, a lot of people get shot and Seagal doesn't break a sweat. It's interesting seeing Seagal in prison, among the convicts, helping Treach out when a group of "Eses" plan to take him out.
davoshannon Almost as if there was an unexpected explosion in whatever department is supposed to handle plot and character development you can almost see bits of "what might have been" scatter all over the place. Bit like the fairly realistic blood spatters from (mostly) shoulder wounds in one shoot out.Seagal always manages to get interesting co-stars. In this case I nominate Mari Morrow.And it gets a bit sentimental at the end. Quite touching, especially after such a spectacular explosion in the final warehouse the whole damn county would have been declared a disaster zone. All good fun.But you can't deny you keep watching them, and part of the fun is that Seagal seems to insist on doing exactly what he feels is right. And even if it goes directly to video, how many stations carry his films?. Dammit I watched a 2005 film tonight on an Irish channel. It all means royalties.So lets all get crazy!.
kittyboomboom Anytime a movie contains an action star that is incapable of combing their hair and performing their own stunts you have a comedy goldmine on your hands. Steven Segal has definitely fallen from grace but I enjoyed every minute of it. There is no real reason to review this movie or have any expectation of artistic merit because whoever made it obviously had a limited budget and imagination or quite simply didn't care. To start his hair was distractingly awful sort of a Count Chocula meets Dolemite and if there was a stylist on the set they must have called in sick everyday of what I would imagine to be a 2-week shoot. I mean seriously, it looked like nasty black astro turf and I could not really figure out if it was in a ponytail or just pushed back whatever is going on I think it is safe to say that he needs to give it up or get better plugs. My friend said that it looked like that "spray on hair" but I thought that was way too kind. I don't really remember a whole lot about the plot but there were two key scenes that made me laugh out loud. The first one would be when he and his "woman" were riding past a children's hospital and there was a big yellow sign saying "Going out of Business" now call me stupid but I was under the impression that places like that were privately owned and when there is no funding patients are referred to other facilities and/or physicians and that was that. I was half expecting a fund raiser a la Breakin' 2: Electric Bugaloo or at the very least a yard sale featuring medical supplies at discount prices and old Stevie doing the best he could to get top dollar for the kiddies. I know that its sick and sad to laugh at the children who were not business savvy enough to keep their own hospital open but it's not real and therefore doesn't matter. The other scene of interest was when after the big rock 'em sock 'em car chase he lays the gun wielding bad guy on the sidewalk and proceeded to come down with the worst case of indigestion I've ever seen. I can't recall how he got so messed up so bad but him calling his "woman" to explain that he was set up and proceeding to groan and lay down were too much for me. Please pass this man some Bean-O stat! The bad stunt double(s) cheap sets, laughable dialog and leather trench coat (in several fight scenes no less) were also worth the price of admission (rental). I would say that he should be banished from making movies or at least get a haircut but I do not think that there is anyone else around who would be so endearingly awful and hilarious all at once. I say he should be paired up with the Ying-Yang twins set in either a check cashing spot or car wash. I know I know - you can't wait either....
