After watching the movie Submerged i thought it was pretty good for an action movie.Plenty of money spent on the budget to make it a first rate action movie.I have one question why was Stevens voice was dubbed by another actor.The thing here was the inconsistincy of the voice over.Half the time it was stevens real voice and half the time it was the actor hired to dub his voice.It didnt fool me for one second.The actor,didnt get it quite right though with certian speech inflection that only steven has and it was easy to spot when the dubs occured.It was a little annoying at times when the dubs were mouthed in.Overall if you can forget about the voice dubbing it was one of stevens better movies lately.
one of seagals best dvd movies, the action was incredible should have been in the theater, i thought that it was a really good cast i would definately recommend this movie to any true seagal fan
Seagal turns out yet another mildly impressive
B-movie, which could have been better. However, Submerged
is a lot more enjoyable than his previous B-movie releases.
It's also nice to see that Seagal's voiceover was handled a little more meticulously, but still leaves one wondering why they needed to hire a sound-alike in the first place. As usual Seagal is in his Terminator form taking out his antagonists with ease (I don't recall any fight scene in which he was harmed). Another B-action star, Gary Daniels, gets to go toe-to-toe with the Aikido master, unfortunately Seagal polishes Daniels off without breaking a sweat and begins ranting in a humorous tone. Be on the lookout for Seagal's "shotgun kick" in which he sends the unsuspecting villain plummeting to his death. The story is entertaining up until the crew manage to get off of the submarine and it's here where the movie begins to drag. This was an enjoyable film but not one that can be watched repeatedly.
When i first heard about this movie 6 months ago, I had little hope. It is directed by Anthony Hickox who has directed some really bad movies. The premise was originally to be about mutants being on a sub and Steven fighting them off. But they changed it to a more logical plot(very happy they did). Submerged stars Steven Seagal, and Vinnie Jones. They are the most important actors in this film. Basically Steven is a independent agent who has his own private crew and they take out the bad guys. He is called upon to deal with a scientest who created a mind controlling drug and has used it to take out the US Ambassador. Steven and the others know that something else is going to down and they must hurry and stop it!
Submerged is better then Out for a Kill, Belly of the Beast, Out of Reach and Into the Sun(which we all thought would be good). Into the Sun had a budget of $35million. This one had only $15million. But the ACTION WAS GREAT! There were 5 times more action then Into The Sun. The plot was better and so were the characters. I was happy to see such good actors. The CGI werent tops. but they got the job done. There is a good amount of action to keep the fans pleased. I know I was. Submerged is rated "R" for Strong Violence and Language. Probably the best movie he has made since Exit Wounds. In my opinion only, if this movie has a bigger budget and more known actors, this could have been Under Seige 3! It was that good. Sit back and enjoy!
