Some New Negative Reviews From Amazon:

Time 2 retire Steven

I am really disappointed by the last 3 outings of the once exciting, but now old,overweight and hairpiece wearing Steven Seagal that it makes me actually laugh watching him destroying his past legend over an over again.This movie is pure garbage, please have some dignity and retire.

Very very bad

I won't go into a summary of the plot. I admit I rented this without even reading what it was about, just because it was a Seagal movie.

I didn't have high expectations. Even so...

After about 30 minutes I gave up.

First off, for those of you who actually watch it, what's up with the super-dooper fakey spy plane in the beginning? The planes in "Team America" looked more realistic than this garbage.

Also, they can afford to have a helicopter to shoot scenes in, but the background is so obviously computer generated? What a joke.

And once again I wondered what the heck was going on when every scene that required a voice over dub by seagal was done by somebody who sounded NOTHING like seagal.

Fighting? Not in this movie. Lots and lots of shooting though. For so called best-of-the-best professional soldiers, they couldn't hit the walls of a barn if they were standing inside the barn. There's one scene in which 200+ of the baddies with automatic weapons and a TANK are being held off by like 4 or 5 goodies with automatic machine-pistols. They're in a tunnel, like 100 feet from each other, firing hundreds if not thousands of rounds and like nobody gets hit? What a joke. One of the boring-ist scenes I've ever had to sit through. That's about when I called it quits.

This movie is garbage. It's pure poop. It's too bad also, because even though everything since "Exit Wounds" in my opinion was poop, "Into The Sun" I thought was actually pretty good.

I'll keep renting his movies just in the hopes that someday I'll actually enjoy one of his movies once again. So I suppose they'll keep churning out this poop because people like me will keep renting them. I'd imagine that they'll rent good, but I can't imagine any of his newer movies are being actually purchased. I guess his career is over, and I should get over it. But I'll keep up hope for now that someday, somebody will actually put this over-the-hill out-of-shape former-bad-a** into a decent movie.

Until then, we'll always have "out for justice" :) Anybody here seen richie?

Have another doughnut Steven, you fat Ba$tarD!

WOW, Steven is done! His career is over with! I kid you not. I have always said that I think B-action movies are way worse than B-horror movies and this is proof. It has generic explosions, bad acting, bad actions sequences, and generic noise FX. I just recently rented a new Jean-Claude Van Damme movie thinking Jean was getting a little washed up, but he is not even close to being as bad as Steven in this movie! Steven is poorly groomed, he is fat and looks like a drunk. In many of the scenes in this movie he is sitting down so he doesn't get out of breath. I was laughing all the way through this. I said to myself "if he starts doing his karate he does in all his movie, I am going to fall out of my chair laughing" (because he is too fat) and sure enough he did! You would have to see it to believe it. He goes to karate kick a guy and literally looks like he has trouble lifting up his fat leg. He also wares super baggy cloths to try and hide his weight and it actually makes him look even bigger. This movie is awful! I should add that it also has some of the worst one liner's I have ever heard. Don't expect no "go ahead... make my day" kind of stuff! Here is an example of one of the lines in this movie: Steven looks at a girl and says "some sick s*** went on in here alligator!" Not to mention Steven's poor attempt at sounding like a rapper gangster with is poorly constructed Ebonics street talk. He sounds illiterate.
Verdict: rent at your own risk

Well, NOT trying something or not watching something on the advice of anyone else is not very wise, Littledragon. ;) People need to form their opinions, eh? Good or bad. :D

Would YOU not do something just because your mother said you wouldn't like it? ;)
Didn't think so. :D

Now Lolli you aren't about to purchase it because of my little comment are you? Doing the opposite out of spite? :)

Now correct me if I am wrong but wasn't this movie suppose to be Released like a month ago? It still hasn't submerged or should I say surfaced :) in my Blockbuster. We have a very nice wall of Previously Watched Films where I wouldn't mind purchasing it for 6 dollars. I mean realistically speaking 40 dollars is unreasonable for these lackluster efforts. But not to start another argument. Do as you please and I will do as I please.
