Movies Submerged NEW SEAGAL MOVIE COMING TO THEATERS!!

GlimmerMan · May 7, 2005

Hey Storm.

Why thankyou. I do wnjoy people thinking I'm a thug!

Ha! I'm a nice guy really. You like the Oakleys? Into The Sun wasn't his best mate, not by a long-chalked pentagram. Basically, every movie he has done throughout the 21st Century has been sub-par.

Ticker - this movie marked the beginning of a steady decline in quality control. I actually think the movie itself is OK, Seagal is generally pretty cool in it, but it suffers from obvious budget problems and Dennis Hopper's accent changes from Irish to English frequently, which is pretty weird. 4/10

Half Past Dead - possibly the best Seagal movie from the 21st Century, but again is marred by budget problems and poor fight sequences. 6/10

The Foreigner - I watched this when it came out and thought it was OK. I tried to watch it again the other day and gave up after 10 minutes. Terrible movie. 3/10

Out For A Kill - looked good in the trailer but was unfortunately marred by poor dubbing, unconvincing effects and badly edited fight scenes. 5/10

Belly Of The Beast - would have been good if Seagal had actually been in it, but they even used a stunt double for his arms at one point. Oh dear. 4½/10

Out Of Reach - to be honest, I can't believe this film even got a green light, it is so damn bad! 2/10

Into The Sun - something of a return to form in comparison to his previous efforts, which may have something to do with the fact that Seagal was actually involved in various aspects of the movie from co-writing and executive producing and supplying his own songs for the soundtrack. I hope the trend continues upwards now, but I fear that time is not on the big guy's side. 6/10

All of his films from the 90's would not get below 8/10 in my opinion, and that includes The Patriot, which I really liked, despite the cheesy 'miracle' cure.

Anyhow - I'm good mate. How are you? I hope this message finds you in good health. I'll e-mail you real soon.

I'm a lot better now thanks. I quite liked Out For A Kill.We have to accept him as he is now,as fans.We'll all get to 50 odd one day!
It's good to still see him making movies.Film studios do not throw big budgets at him these days,but he's still turning them out.

My review of SUBMERGED is up at http://www.yourvideostoreshelf.com.

Unfortunately, it's pretty much a well-directed mess.

I hope it comes to the big screen down under soon..Iam soooo hanging out for another Seagal kick...

hofmae · May 28, 2005

This Movie will not going to theaters anywhere in the world.... And i think the next movies too.

I think that the only chance to watch him again in theaters is "Under Siege 3" all other movies will be dtv. Im sure about that.

Charles Bronson · May 28, 2005

Seagal should stop making direct to make DVD movies....
I thought he is a man of honor...
But he´s just for the money otherwise he would stop making so lousy movies....

hofmae · May 31, 2005

Oh man, what is about Van Damme, Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren... All this guys have 95% DTV movies at this time...

Prisoner 1137 · May 31, 2005

It's called Old *lol, jk*

All of them are good, I don't care if they come straight to DVD because I'll watch them no matter what. I remember when Blade Trinity came out, then I seen about a few months later Snipes made a DTV movie called "Unstoppable" Movie wasn't that bad seeing he did an same version of the chair scene like in Blade Trinity for this movie. The Fighting was cool, I would re-watch it again.

i admit in there early days emmett/furla made some bad films...ticker and out for a kill being to of them but there are an improving production company....for example they produced wonderland and blind horizon both starring val kilmar and both with budgets of around 20 million.....they also have a film being made currently directed by stanley tong and starring dmx and a film starring ll cool j,morgan freeman and kevin spacey which as a 30 million budget so its not all bad news...and by the way they produced belly of the beast as well.

out for i kill was not so bad i found it good but the last part was i bit to easy just trowing i sword its was better i very dificult fight well thats what i think

Who's the real hot girl in Submereged that kind of had that whole Angelina Jolie sex appeal thing going on?

Hi, this is my first post. I hope not the last. I'm a fan of Seagal, and I live in Uruguay too. Then I can add a bit of information than most of the Seagal's fans don't know about this country.
In first place, THE MOVIE START IN AN EEUU EMBASSY IN THE URUGUAYAN CAPITAL.
In that place, there's too a revolution, and the film show the uruguayan flag. It's weird that the cartels show "Revolution" when the uruguayan official language it's the spanish.
Second, the movie show differents places, all with names similar to real places in Uruguay, but the places have no way matches with the reals. For example, "Salto Bravo" (in Uruguay there's a places called "Salto Grande"). Or "Diablo" (in Uruguay there's a turistic city called "Punta del diablo").
Third, there's NO mountains in Uruguay, there's NO jungle in Uruguay, and the rural people generally is not blonde females, with clothes of central europe.
Fourth, the ruins in the movie remember the Maya ruins of central America, but in Uruguay there's nothing similar.
And fifth, the most important detail, is INDIGNANT thah someone called your country a "Banana republic", domitated by a cartel of drogs, with a dictatory regimen. Nothing of this is true. URUGUAY IS A COUNTRY DOMINATED BY TURISM AND BY EXPORTATION OF RURAL PRODUCTS.

Sorry by this message, and understand please, is not pleasant that the world know your country in this way.

Greetings, Alejandro.

Welcome to the board, Alejandro. Your irritation is quite understandable. One of our members is from Turkey, and she was very upset by what they did with important Turkish symbols in the movie "Out of Reach". It seems very odd for someone of Steven's standing and apparent respect for all cultures that he's done two movies that are so apparently culturally disrespectful.

Of course, I blame the writers of both those films, for failing to do their research.

Hello Alejandro,

Welcome to te Steven Seagal Unofficial Site..

I am sharing your feelings.. Like Ms TD said I lived same things before.

Mr.Seagal and his film editors are prejudiced approach to my country Turkey and my people in the film Out Of Reach..

Our consolate was used a market place for selling young girls and children. Also they used Turkish Flags there was no reason. Our flags are used unproperly.. He was also the producer in Out Of Reach so if they want, they could at least made a research about Turkey and Turkish people.. But they didn't !!! Because for they we are not good people.. May be he is thinking we are not human and we deserve all bad things Also he sees and thinking some countries as potential terrorist and criminal...
I understand some countries and people are not very important for him before Turkey, and now Uruguay.. I personally didn't like the prejudiced approach of a person who claims that he is someone who likes humanity and people. I am sorry !!

Poor scripts, poor production companies, poor directors and crew.. Results: poor movies... !!!

Yes, I am Steven Seagal fan and I like him but I don't believe his humanism anymore...

Please don't upset my friend may be one day he visits your country and I hope he learns what is reality.. !!

Hello!

Hi, I'm live uruguay, and don't like very much the Steven Segal movies, I'm grow watching his movies, I respected him like artist. I don't understand like he was able film this movie, and I start to change my mind about him. He have the responsablity about his writers and team. I think he did this movie for money.

Terrorism is a very sensitive problem, and I think must be treated with seriousness and knowledge. I watch this movie laughing with my friends, but I don't have fear for terrorist. The USA and Europe must be afraid for this problem for the way they abused of little countrys without posibilty of other answer. Sadly allways die inocent people or colateral damage like the government identifies them, and not the leaders, the only ones responsible of the deaths. Good luck for everybody!
