Summary: Seagal reaches new low
Seagal reaches a new low in "Out of Reach" in which he plays a guy with a past (we don't know what exactly) who hangs out in a forest and looks for injured animals so he can heal them while communing with nature. He also corresponds via snail mail with a young girl in a Polish orphanage. When she is sold into slavery, Seagal has to travel to Poland where, of course, he gets to hang out with a babe, shoot it out with a bunch of heavies, and do some hokey martial arts stuff as well as try to act and conceal his big, fat gut. A sorry attempt at film making, "Out of Reach" has too many deficits to list here. Suffice it to say this B-flick is probably not worth your time and will probably be the last Seagal flick I'll be watching. (C-)
If Seagal wasn't planning on retiring after "Submerged", he just might have to. I feel very sad that this movie is not well recieved. I actually enjoyed it, but many people didnt, and the fewer sales they get, the lower the budget on the films will be, until they stop making them altogether. OOR had a 20 million dollar budget as opposed to the upcoming "Submerged" which only has 15 million.
