Die Hard Seagal fan!
Yeah, that's right Bridget and I don't like the story, Steven had only a supporting role in this movie, it's a shame :(

CLEMENTINE is a syrupy melodrama that plays like one of those HK films from the mid-80's, lots of 96fps fades, slow tracking shots and hideously overwrought music. The film centres around a sickeningly cute little girl and her father. The script is very soapy and Steven Seagal appears in this film (for a matter of minutes) as a favour to somebody; there can be no other explanation. The climatic fight, featuring Steven in a semi-villainous role, is poorly handled, with an obvious body-double in the long shots.

Yes, Steven is allowed to negate his bad-guy image at the end, but it's not worth it. Tough one to sit through. It's a cameo, no more a Steven Seagal film than PRINCE OF THIEVES is a Sean Connery film.

Additional:

The official UK R2 DVD from Soulblade has the kind of grammatical, syntax and spelling errors one associates with HK DVDs. Very poor job.

I agree it's probably the worst film Seagal appears in, but there are some good action sequences. The problem is the limited screen time that Seagal recieves in this film.

My review

I think, that this is not Seagal movie at all. Although it is a Corean movie, it looks quite good. There are some good taekwondo action fights, but the best scene is that one with Steven in the cage. The story is quite bad. Overall 40%.
