I watched Fire Down Below last week. I thought it was okay. Obviously the scenery was great, and the fight scenes were pretty good. The movie reminded me a lot of On Deadly Ground, though smaller in scope and in budget.
Last Seagal movie you watched?

Fire Down Below Spain-1997 (On Deadly Ground 2-En Tierra Peligrosa 2)
Steven Seagal has been always committed with the environment. He has 3 movies demonstrating the importance of the subject for him:
On Deadly Ground-1994
Fire Down Below-1997, and
The Patriot-1998

Man, I don't watch TV at all, but if TV here had a constant diet of good Steven Seagal movies on, I'd probably spend a whole lotta hours watching them. Although, my girlfriend's grandpa watches Seagal on TV all the time. I think he was watching Driven to Kill recently. Love that one. The Patriot, for me, didn't age that well. There was a good chunk of the movie where I felt like not much was really going on. That being said, I did like the plot, and some of the scenery.

That's a cool grandpa!!!
I only use de TV to play videogames, these days revisiting 'The Callisto Protocol' and 'Resident Evil Revelations 2 (Raid Mode)', awesome lol but my wife is addicted to the fake news, she knows every f channel (I call her the Queen of Zapping) so she shout at me from the living room everytime she finds a Seagal movie, and of course, I always go running to watch Seagal with her!!!!

Man, I can't stand those talking heads on TV. It's all just propaganda these days. It sounds very Seagal-ish of me to say, but truth is like a mirage in this day and age. I still have my old GameCube games. Sometimes I'll play some old James Bond titles, or the old CoD titles. Anyway, today I'm gonna sit down and watch Out For a Kill. I love that one. Some of the effects in that movie are totally absurd.

I think I'm like one of those old dogs you can't teach new tricks. I don't have the attention span or motivation to learn a new game. Luckily, I don't bore easily so I can just play the same old games over and over. I treat it as a nostalgia trip, or just perfecting my technique.

haha yeah OFAK-2003 is so funny to watch, the cheap Matrix slow-mo bullets & explosions, the final decapitation, part of the script is ridiculously funny (Professor Robert Burns lol)...some fights are AWESOME, the casting is good; and I very much like the concept of the killing associated to the tatooed Kanjis in the forearms, and how Steven reads all of them at the end of the movie.
That's what I love Seagal's DTV, in my opinion are so underrated, you can enjoy the charisma and talent of Steven, his brutal style (nobody kills like Seagal) and have a good laugh at the same time with the absurds FX, body doubles and plots/script lines...Is no disrespect, is direct-to-video world, and I love it!!
Enjoy!!!!

Yeah, it's great for perfecting the technique, good point! I love revisiting Resident Evil games, for example, to do what you mentioned, that's part of the reason why RE remakes are so successfull!
Have a great end of the weekend, you old dog gamer and 'Seagalist'!!

Just got done watching it. Man. That was wild. The car chase with the Matrix bullets. Him fighting the guy in the barbershop while sitting down. The dubbed in voices. The sword throw at the end. Haha! Loved it.

Awesome! Getting ready to rewatch The Foreigner tomorrow. Another one of the best films of his straight to DVD era. Just gotta pick up some snacks after work. No Steven Seagal movie is complete without some chips and soda.

What do you like more about 'The Foreigner'? It was a DTV hit at the moment, the most DVD rentals in the first semester ever (2003) if I remember correctly. The same director did 'Out For A Kill' , btw.
Did you like the sequel, 'Black Dawn' (2005)?

I dunno if I liked The Foreigner more. But I certainly enjoyed it nonetheless. The scene where he blows up the train station is great, as is the scene where he throws the exploding CD at that guy. My only criticism is that the plot felt slightly convoluted. As for the sequel, having watched all of Seagal's movies, I don't really remember it. So I'm inclined to say that the sequel wasn't terribly memorable. Overall, I think Out For A Kill was better on account of the fact that there were more fight scenes. But The Foreigner had some cool explosions. I also really enjoyed the fight at the end in the farmhouse.

Last one I watched was The Glimmer Man about 3 weeks ago with my brother as he'd never seen it. We had plenty of drinks during watching it, it's not a bad movie to be honest, it's a fun one.

Agree, The Glimmer Man is good, the fights are awesome, was the first movie where Steven added Wing-Chung to the fights, and amazing Karate blocks as well in the final fight.
Love that movie, one of my favs together with Under Siege 2
