Harlan Banks (Steven Seagal) is a world-class thief who has always picked his own jobs and tried to pull heists that would leave him room to help out others; he also has powerful psychic abilities and can punish a man simply with the powers of his mind. But the work keeps getting riskier, and at the urging of his girlfriend, Banks has decided to pull one final job, going in with some men who are planning a 20-million-dollar casino robbery in Las Vegas. Banks is double-crossed by his new partners, and while he gets away with the money, Banks also ends up behind bars. Now his fellow crooks want the cash and will do anything to get it, but Banks isn't eager to part with a hard-earned dollar, and with the help of Ice Cool (Anthony Criss, aka hip-hop star Treach), he busts out of prison to claim what's his. Along the way, Banks uses both his hands and his mind to even the score with the men who betrayed him. Today You Die's spectacular chase footage was shot on location in Las Vegas. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

...there's no denying that these movies are getting awfully routine and predictable.

One hell of a cool kick-ass thrill-ride. A full-throttle thriller that packs a full-clip of explosive action and teriffic buddy humor. A sharp, stylish, frequently funny and action-packed thriller. One of the better Steven Seagal films i have seen in a very long time. Anthony 'Treach' Criss and Steven Seagal have great chemistry, making them a great team to watch.

I once had this dream where Steven Seagal and Nick Mancuso were both in the same movie about a modern day Robin Hood in Las Vegas. And Seagal's character has a girlfriend who's psychic or something and arbitrarily explains her pointless visions that have zero relevance to plot. Oh, and Treach plays his street-wise black friend. Oh, and Seagal is so cool and street-wise himself that he can easily fit in with the various prison ethnic groups. And as if that weren't enough the "writer" of this film bookends the plot with some thing about a children's hospital going out of business (running low on sick kids?) which is supposed to help us forget about the previous two hours in which Seagal levels several buildings and kills or mames several hundred people (some of which are cops). and then I woke up and Today You Die was on television. I could actually feel my brain cells withering up and dying sad deaths as I subjected myself to D-grade Seagally goodness.
