I liked most of the movie. I also liked the sword play which shows an unusual dual between one swordsman fighting Japanese style and the other fighting the classical European style. In college I fenced (foils) of course because woman have a hard time with sabers (not enough deltoid muscle they told me). I really enjoyed the duel and the other fighting was good enough for me but I'm a poor judge. I also thought Steven looked nice in a suit and tie. I thought the kids were great too. I was very touched watching him rescue the little hawk.

I'm VERY glad to hear that you enjoyed this, Hallarian. :) I still haven't seen it yet, but it's great to hear something positive for a change.

Serena,

I just got the movie yesterday and watched it. I didn't like the voice overs of the letter scenes, but I enjoyed the movie. It didn't have as much violence as some of his films. THe sowrd fight was pretty good. Now we know not to mess with Hallarian -- she can wield a sword!!!

BB Lady sometimes shows she enjoys the pop-in.. :)

Now, Suzi, I´m very sad to see you are disapointed with OOR, and I´m also touched cause Turkey doesn´t deserve that treatment, it´s my second country in my heart and always will be.

Let´s hope Into the Sun can take him Into the right direction and success...

Hi, najemnik. The dubbing's been an ongoing problem ever since Foreigner; I think Out of Reach is so far the worst one for that.

Simply put, Steven isn't bothering to do any follow-up post-production work so if anything needs to be recorded that isn't dialogue while on the set - like the voice-overs in OOR - or re-recorded in case the sound wasn't right, that's just too bad. Hence, dubbing. Lots of dubbing. Lots and lots and lots of dubbing.

-TD, :mad:

Hey, you!!! I wasn't around yesterday, but it sure is good to see your post today! Hope you and your family are doing well. :) Sure wish you would come around more often.

I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed Out of Reach!! I respect your opinion, as well as Hallarian's, Kathy, Kat, Reservoir Dog, and a few of the others who overall liked this movie. Sounds like you look at it the way I do--just entertainment. I think some people are actually worried about saying they liked it, in the midst of all the negative reviews. Nice to see another positive comment. :)

And nice to see you again. :)

David is a collosal clod, it was not a bad movie...
The story was touching and the little girl was charming and so was Steven...
I think I liked it about the same as I liked OFAK...
But I did like the OFAK swordfight a tad bit better than this one...
The only thing I did not like about OFAK was the dark look to the whole film, dark mood, and some er, dark reality, like the tatoo parlor and the girls therein...
Of course I liked OFAK and OOR better than I liked HTK, but that's just me...

Relax, it's just his opinion. He didn't say it was a bad movie, he said it was the worst Steven Seagal movie. You don't have to insult people because they disagree wtih you. I gurantee 9.5/10 on this site would say that "Hard to Kill" is better than all of Seagal's DTV, but we don't call you a clod, do we?

As you said, an opinion is an opinion, so if I think his DTV filsms are more interesting, that's my right, and if I think the way the reviewer expresses his opinion is cloddish,
then that's also my right...There are ways of saying things, and imo, this guys way stinks...

Another IMDB review

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.

Oh please, he's lost so much weight, this
guy must be dumb and blind...
Anyone can see he didn't even have a gut, at least I didn't see any of it, of course I'm looking at his face so much, but...
What an idiot he's obviously just looking for cheap things to say...

I enjoyed the movie, but I can see how some people wouldnt. Constructive criticism would have been nicer than just insulting him, but if Seagal is losing fans, maybe he needs the wake up call. As far as his weight is concerned, he was no more overweight than he was in "Under Siege 2" but he was a lot slimmer in "Exit Wounds". Apparently, his weight bothers people, and if it causes him to lose money, maybe he will do something about it.
 

Lotussan

I Belong To Steven
I don't think he looked slimmer in Exit Wounds, but whatever...His weight is a non-issue with me.

Actually, quite a bit slimmer
