Critic Reviews

  • Brian Orndorf, Blu-ray.com

    It's a highly amusing motion picture with a distinct '80's action feel, matched perfectly to Seagal's limitations as an actor and his endearing way with limb-snappings.

  • Bill Clark, FromTheBalcony

    Brainless entertainment...and I mean that as a compliment.

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

    One of Seagal's better actioners...entertaining

  • Robert Roten, Laramie Movie Scope

    One of Steven Seagal's best films, but that's not saying much.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    Even Seagal's "best" movie is unwatchably bad.

    Seagal has some good lines in this one, his best along with Under Siege.

    Seagal wakes from a coma (although it's quite difficult to tell the difference) and sets about butchering the bad guys in his usual lumbering, brainless fashion with the help of nurse Kelly Le Brock who decides to tag along as she liked the look of his willy (this is actually… More
