I finally got round to watching Out for a kill, and....
I didn't think it was that bad.
I have had a bit of a break from posting on here because I offended some people by calling Steven a fat slug, for that I appologise. So I thought I would wait till I had gotten up the guts to watch it before I posted again.
After reading what you lot thought, and a thread comparing it with HPD and the foreigner, and mostly coming out on top or in the middle, I was looking forward to seeing it.
Well, the direction was bad, and the film badly put together (just like the foreigner), Oblowitz, butting in too much detail, were he should just get down to it. Some FX were very shoddy, why they had to do a blue screen for the two cops standing in a field I don't know.
But what really stands out is the fighting. I have said this all along, what are Segal films all about, Action and fighting. His last few has had little fighting and when it did, they used doubles. I was overjoyed to see steven not giving a **** about his excess body weight, and actually getting down to the actiona nd fighting himself, proving he still can do it.
This is all I wanted, for steven himself to do some work, no matter how crap the film is itself, for him to do the fights and plenty of it, was worth the money in itself. I had previosly called him a fat slug, because he seemed lazy, by not doing his own work, but in this film he has proved me wrong. Overweight he may be, but who cares, he still kicked arse.
If HPD had had this much Seagal fighting in it, it might have ranked up with his best, but it didn't. But I do hold out hope for his next few films, all have good directors and that is what makes or breaks a film.
It's good to be back
