You really pull for Steven Seagal in this one. He is out to get revenge after his wife has been murdered and he's nearly been murdered, and he succeeds.
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 time.
Hard to Kill? More like Hard to Watch! Just another one of Seagal's easy to fall asleep to movies brimming with out of date 90's retro feeling. Oh yeah?! So Seagal... A.K.A: Mason Storm... cue pun, is an undercover cop, uncovers a cunning ploy to act some crooked senator elected. But wait, oh yes the crooked senator guy, you know... the baddie from Die Hard 2? No? Yeh no one remembers him. Anyway he get's some dirty cop's to go and kill Seagal and his entire family. So Mr Storm ends up in a coma... wakes up seven years later... cuts his hair and don's the exact same waistcoat he wore seven years ago... and goes out for revenge... Exciting stuff right? It would be except it's shit. I've seen better acting in nursery nativities and less inaccuracies too. For example if you fire a sawn-off shotgun and then stick the barrel in someone's mouth... chances are it would fucking burn! And i'm pretty sure anyone in their right mind could out run a bed-ridden coma patent as he pushes himself around with a broom! Oh not in this movie! I'm pretty sure this movie was directed by a 5 year old idiot! I know I can give these movies stick sometimes... mainly Kickboxer, but it's because I use Kickboxer as my control group, as in its a good movie for the wrong reasons! But this movie doesn't even try. A future echo of all the lazy shit movies Seagal has yet to make. Kelly LeBrock has no acting talent in this movie and was generally badly cast, the baddie... William Sadler didn't even get a full showdown in what is meant to be your typical action movie. No instead he's hiding in the closet! Hmm. There are only about 6.5 Fights, 2 shootouts. ...and a whole lot of nothing else to keep you interested either. Funnily enough this didn't get a DVD release in the UK, probably because a certain Mr Akido expert is still trying to keep the fans he has! Or a Miss LeBrock who was brought up in England is ashamed of her OTT English accent. Pretty poor show all around.
I had recorded this, while sleeping, and never watched it, have several videos like that, I watch, when nothing on television, as often is, now that I have no satellite service, so use the free antennae reception, so someday, ALL TELEVISION RECEPTION WILL BE PAY TV??? THAT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL. Local television stations very rarely put on a film to watch with free YV by antennae, which all of us, should complain about, as truth is, reality, with inflation, high utilities, gasoline, food, groceries, cable, satellite reception is being dropped by necessity. All should be raising caine about it, right??
A police detective Mason Storm (Steven Seagal) wakes up from his coma spent all this time in the hospital for 7 years. Mason uses his knowledge of acupuncture and other meditation techniques to bring back his strength and train himself again. Mason contacts O'Malley to tells Mason that his son is a teenager named Sonny Storm (Zachary Rosencrantz) is still alive as Mason's son was send to private school.
Steven Seagal and his wife at the time kelly lebrock(weird science)team up to bring you more seagal action. "i'll take you to the bank .... the blood bank" lol
I've never seriously watched a Steven Seagal movie for more than a few scenes, but if they're anything like this film, I only want to watch more! - "I'll take you to the bank... the blood bank."
Ah Seagal.If I need a pick me up,all I have to do is watch one of his late eighties to mid nineties heyday movies.They're just so fucking ridiculous that it puts a smile on my face.Here Seagal is put in a coma for 7 years and when he wakes up much ass kicking,wrist snapping and squinting ensues.
One of Seagal's earlier films back when he was entertaining. All of his films before Under Seige were fun to watch - he just beat the crap out of his co-stars and acted like a badass. It was fun to watch him break arms. The movie basically sucks, but it's fun to watch.
this one had more of an old school kung fu movie feel due to the extended training sequences. a new caliber of violence here, revenge goes well with snapped arms.
