The plot is terrible, which means the film relies heavily on the action which is, sadly, just as terrible

When you watch a Seagal movie, you expect good action. You expect fighting, not just a lot of shooting like in this flick. And: you expect a rather simple story. OK, I can live with a more complex story even... Full review

The movie fascinated me because of the plot, but once it got underway my fascination took a different direction. I think for the only time in my life I laughed at people getting shot. Segall's Dutch accomplice shoots everyone! He... Full review

This movie seems somewhat promising at first, but quickly spirals into a pointless mesh of betrayal and murder. As just about everyone who's posted before me has said, this film basically follows a series of nameless, faceless people around looking... Full review

This has got to be THE worst Steven Segal movie I have ever watched (even worse than eco-piffle like On Deadly Ground & Fire Down Below). I'll start with the good points..., It's got stylish direction for a DTV movie... Full review

Steven Seagal has starred in some great action flicks down the years but unfortunately this ain't one of em. As other hacks have pointed out on this page, the plot is messy and incoherent and it's difficult most of... Full review

Sadly, it was this very same commercial that kind of renewed my interest in Seagal's work.
Thankfully the movie is short, unresolved plotlines and all, at just 86 minutes.

After the indecipherable mess of a movie came to a close, I watched the theatrical (yeah, right, "theatrical") trailer....the music's so damn awful to begin with.....The villians (if indeed there even are any) are bland and indistinguishable from one another, the plot is completely and entirely non-sensical, and the action bits....... ...
