Last Seagal movie you watched?

Decided to rewatch 2006's Shadow Man for the umpteenth time. Another one that changed A LOT from inception to delivery, from something unique and maybe more in line with the tone/pacing of The Patriot (?) but ultimately dialed back to another super-layered, multi-Govt incompetence, kinda-Spy Actioner. I actually find myself liking Shadow Man more as the years go by. I like the opening scene of him teaching in the dojo (even if he's a tad cruel to one student) where it's clear he's a natural teacher and in his element here. The drug house fight is good for the era, and I still crack up in the drug house scene when he says, "Can you fill a prescription?" and "That's syphilis!" And Eva Pope pulls her weight respectably, sometimes the female co-stars are more about being picturesque than a performer, and I felt Eva pulled both off well.
I'd place Shadow Man somewhere in the middle of his DTV era efforts.

Last year, a director's cut was announced to be releasing and was even put up for preorder over at: https://yippeekiyaymothervideo.com/products/enter-the-pyuniverse but it's since been pulled. Maybe they'll decide to go forward with it again sometime. They have the rights to distribute Albert Pyun's works since his death I read in an interview.

Good news, I wrote them and they said the Ticker release is still moving forward. But since it's a small, in house release they got sidetracked doing another of Pyun's films, but Ticker is still on the menu.
