Seagal should get in shape

Even though Steven Seagal has made movies who are much worse than this, this is still far from being his best work. I wonder if the whole movie was made just for self-ironical reasons (remember, Seagal fortunately has a lot of self-irony). The main problem is that Seagal is too fat too be a real action-star right now. Some of the fights in this movie still are pretty cool, but there are just something that isn't there. Maybe it's because some of the fights are so overdone so that everyone know that it isn't Mr.Seagal doing most of it anyway? The worst part about the fighting is the roundhouse kicks. Even though they're rather cool, they're as far from the typical Seagal fighting style that it's possible to be. And you never see Steven's face when these are performed..........................

The story is standard, but that's totally OK. No one cares too much about that anyway in a movie like this. This is in fact one of Seagal's best movies after "Exit Wounds". That doesn't mean that this one is any good, because some of the others are pure garbage.

Not that great really

Starting with the upsides the soundtrack is okay and Monica Lo looks gorgeous. Plus the film starts off promisingly, and the film moves along reasonably. However, there are many things wrong with this film, starting with the non-existent plotting, routine action and clichéd script. The direction is plodding, the love subplot is so trite and slows the film down considerably and there are parts where the cinematography is shoddy. Then there is the acting, which really wasn't great. Steven Seagal looks unkempt and gives a lazy performance here, while the supporting players except for Lo are unexceptional at best. Overall, disappointing and not recommended. 4/10 Bethany Cox

Hero Steven Seagal battling nefarious fanatic terrorists who kidnapped his daughter in Thailand

Thailand, 1994 Jake Hooper (Steven Seagal) is a tough CIA agent , along with his buddy Sunti (Byron Mann) undertaking a mission when accidentally murdering an innocent woman . Jake returns United States , while Sunti becomes a Buddhist monk. Ten years later , Hooper working as a security agent , when his daughter Jessica (Sara Lane) and the senator's daughter are abducted while were hiking in the jungle of Thailand. Then, an Islamic fundamentalist band reclaims the kidnapping . Jake goes to Thailand to release the prisoners , there he takes contact with Leon, a CIA agent assigned to case.

The film displays several gunshots , struggles, bloody killings and lots of violence when fights and murders happen. It's exciting and tense, at time lackluster action movie, but the fighting and gun-play are well done in this routine actioner . The film is produced by Avi Lerner and his production called Milennium along with Trevor Short, Danny Lerner, usual financier from Steven Seagal and Jean Claude Van Damme movies . The picture belongs to last period of Seagal career, when he's doing middling and low-budget films, direct-to-video and many of them are deemed semi-turkeys stinkers . Following the tendency to oriental action cinema , Seagal -also producer- hired Asian directors as Mink (Into the sun),Leong (Out the reach) , and Siu Tung Ching. These movies aren't on the level previous successful and big budget movies, such as : Under siege I , II, Glimmer man, Exit wounds, Fire down below , Executive decision , among them . The motion picture was middlingly directed by Siu Tung Ching . He's a cool director of Jet Li vehicles , and filmmaker of the¨Ghost Chinese story¨ saga , besides being an excellent stunts choreographer in movies as ¨House of flying daggers" , "Hero¨, among others . The story is occasionally entertaining , but only for Steven Seagal fans.
