Rijndri Load of rubbish!!

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

opinion ated Is that his real hair? Is his fighting skill really so bad the director has to hide it by flashy fast camera work that is unintelligible? Several of the reviews don't hide the fact that this is utter rubbish. Well reviewed. This movie is full of protagonist macho bravado egotism (and lazy acting) but low on any form of skill and storytelling art-form. Some flashback scenes of a troubled ex-soldier, a superhero boss that clearly doesn't need backup (but yells for it anyway after taking out the end bad guy who was made to look middle-eastern by the way for what storytelling reason only Steven Seagal would maybe somehow know...if someone were to explain it to him) does not make a movie. After watching this on free to air ask yourself; 'Would I buy this for my collection?' then sit down with your mates to watch it... Buhahahah..!! This movie is certainly a waste of ones time.

sacredheartband The premise isn't bad - though nothing new: well respected, kick ass cop, leads a detective/strike team against the scum and villainy of Seattle.Seagal - though I'm a fan, I get incredibly frustrated at his mumblings, dubs and can't be bothered style of acting - is OK in this.What let's it down is it's lack of detail, the rushed script and the one dimensional and somewhat stereotypical characters.But the fights are excellent, the cast - though a little weak (and of course they're hardly stretched) - do an alright job.As 45 minutes of action/drama, made for TV - it'll do. Does it have much of future? I can't imagine it - but it keeps me entertained for a little while on a Weds eve. CSI:NY it ain't, but with the right producers, and a better cast, it could be along those lines...

edwbur i have been a fan of seagal for a long time. i have almost all of his movies and he is my favorite action star. this movie deadly crossing is a 2 part straight to DVD episode to his new show true justice. he plays Elijah Kane. the leader of a special undercover unit. this movie was also written by Steven seagal. it is a solid action movie. being a TV show, it looks and feels like a movie. not in a bad way. seagal look awesome in it, and you see some of old seagal that we all know and love. and he put some new seagal in there that most of us including me love. it has a very strong supporting cast and each cast member has there own moment in the 80 minute movie. also there are no voice overs by seagal. in his straight to video movies he has done that. the ones that come to mind most are kill switch, submerged, and attack force. however his other straight to video movies don't have voice overs and if they do, its only a sentence or two in one or two scenes. this movie only had one scene of voice overs by seagal and in the scene seagal didn't talk much at all. the 2 part movie is currently released on DVD in england. i got it from ebay and i suggest you do to. warning, make sure you have a region free DVD player or the DVD will not work. great movie and its worth the time and money. the 2nd and 3rd episodes of true justice are being released in england as one movie called street wars on April 25. I'm defidently getting it from ebay. but for deadly crossing only see it. for street wars. if you like deadly crossing. see street wars. trailer for street wars is on youtube.

lee nicholson (dolemite72) Another month another Seagal release. Which wouldn't be a bad thing, except that 'Deadly Crossing', is in fact, a two episode compilation of Sensei's latest TV show 'True Justice' (Which although a bit of a con, may either gain interest, or warn off potential viewers) Sadly to say, i don't think it'll gain Seagal any new fans, but the (ever-forgiving) die-hard Seagal buffs, may find something to enjoy here.Seagal stars as Elijah Kane, head of a Seattle unit of undercover cops, that use 'Unconventional methods' (Tm) to take down various bad guys (usually Russians) from Crimes (usually drug deals) in a variety of 'glitzy' locations (usually strip clubs) The plot (already hard to follow, due to the fact that it's been edited from two 'open-and-shut' episodes to resemble one full case) is strained even further, by not giving Seagal enough screen-time and instead concentrating on secondary characters (who mostly resemble 'Sunset Beach' rejects) Seagal looks in OK shape (we've seen him look heavier) but seems to constantly doubled in any shot that shows him from behind (i'm not entirely sure why this is?) But there's no audio dubbing of his voice. The other actors (as mentioned) seem more like 'models' and 'clothes pegs' rather than characters...but Seagal interacts OK with them.Now being a TV show (and more importantly not a H.B.O TV show) the profanity and nudity is non-existent The fight scenes (despite the expected 'erratic' shaky-cam) still contain a few 'trademark' Seagal moves, but lack the brutality of recent fare (like Driven To Kill or A Dangerous Man) Some of the more basic stuff looks doubled, yet more of the better moves are Seagal (he even throws a kick or two) but rarely does any scene last longer than a few frames (fights or otherwise) One plus point, is that the production values of this show looks more professional than some of Seagals movies (of late) The one big annoyance being the whole 'sped-up' and 'Fast Zoom' camera techniques, that punctuate the beginning of nearly every scene (seriously guys....move on, 'Nypd Blue' finished years ago) Any fans expecting this show to be a C.S.I rival, can think again. The plot occasionally has a bit of police procedure and cop-lingo.....but little running time goes into solving the case, other than receiving tip offs, or being at the right time at the right place. Hopefully, this show will have more genuine 'detective' work, if it intends to have a second season.As a whole, 'Deadly Crossing' should have been released in a £5 price bracket, as it's not a genuine movie, yet is rather misleadingly advertised as one. Casual punters paying full price for a TV show, may resent and unjustifiably overlook any future projects, due to feeling shortchanged with this one. Optimum DVD (who seem to be releasing most of Seagals recent offerings) don't even offer up a trailer (despite a trailer actually existing) and the cover art features 'Helicopters and explosions' (very 'Out For A Kill') despite the fact that none are featured in the movie.After the (dissapointing) Born To Raise Hell, this release is a misleading misfire, and it's deception/pretension of being perceived as a genuine release, won't win any Seagal new fans (nor help drum up any interest in future stuff) I'd have sooner Seagal knocked out a genuine 'quickie' dtv movie, than to follow up 'Machete' with a TV show (but hey, i guess these decisions are way out of his hands) Big Lee gives this movie 6 (and a half) out of 10
