    Yes I know!!! Steven Seagal ? what the hell am I thinking of? Well as I grew up on cheesy Martial Arts films, this happens to one of them, so when I spotted it on TV, I left it on for a nostalgic watch.

    What it does show is the changes that have taken place during the time l...( read more)apse to recent days in these type of films, in stunts, effects, acting and even physical builds.

    What I always remembered about this film was the written quote ?The Anticipation of Death is much worse than Death itself?, but it somehow seemed to feel a little more threatening back then.

    My favorite Seagal movie and the first of his that I ever saw, this movie is what made me a Seagal fan in the first place. It's a good blend of action and continuing storyline with a good plot and above-average acting. A good place to start when viewing Seagal films for the first...( read more) time.

    Why can't Seagal make films like this anymore? This is a thoroughly entertaining action flick. This was at a time when Seagal as a cop out for revenge was still new. I just think this has everything you could want in a "Bad" action flick. Outrageous stunts, foolish character name...( read more)s (Mason Storm and Jack Axel) a rather humorous re-training back to full fitness montage. Some fantastic action film scripting on show here as well. "That's for my wife, F*** you and die!" and when Seagal realises that William Sadler characters catchphrase is you can take that to the bank. He coolly quips "I'll take you to the bank, the blood bank!" The gorgeous Kelly LeBrock is sadly no more than eye candy in this. But there is nothing wrong with that.

    Heh this guys name is Mason Storm. Good tuff guy name I guess. But anyways, if you've seen one of this guy's films, with the exception of Under Siege, you've seen them all. Big deal.
