I totally agree.
This is how i think the are as the best.
Force Of Execution.
Mercenary Absolution.
A Good Man.
Now, in which order should they be watched ??
lol.......yeah...good question....I suppose 'A Good Man' would be first because he's still in his 'hired merc' phase........which seems to carry over to 'Absolution'....until the end when they kill the head of the operation......then I guess he was fed up and just became a crime lord in "Force of Execution'...which ends with him(Alexander) retiring.....of course these movies would be a good case for a 'fan-made' version....where they take parts of all 3 movies and try to fit them into a somewhat chronological order...
PS: I read something about the 'behind scene's' feature on the "A Good Man ' DVD where they say that Seagal came in and added the whole beginning merc part and it completely changed the idea of a trilogy from that point..but that the writers just didn't bother to change his name in the movie...so as far as a 'flow' to the movies....also there is supposed to be some kind of 'few years ' gap in between 'Absolution' due to the fact that Seagal was given Byron Mann as a 'gift' to be used for 3? years after saving some guy.

....Seagal was accused of making unauthorized changes to the script
(“including dialogue”) in a lawsuit filed by Kill Master, one of the
production companies, and sales agent Nu Image. Seagal was also
accused of losing the production millions of dollars in reshoots by
showing up late and leaving early from shooting. The suit also involves
another movie, Mercenary For Justice, which he allegedly only showed
up for under threat of lawsuit, and brought a rowdy entourage who
“continually harassed, intimidated and threatened the production and
members of the production team with requests and demands that
were inappropriate, outrageous or not contractually required.”
Of course, these Kill Master guys could be full of shit. The movie is
obviously better than Submerged, so how out of line could Seagal
have been? At least he dubbed his own dialogue. Seagal denied all
the charges and claimed the lawsuit was a pre-emptive attack on him
because he wasn’t fully paid for Mercenary For Justice, and had
accused the production of fraud, allegedly spending $5-$7 million
less than the budget on the books. His lawyer also disputed the
claims of the interfering entourage.
One of Kill Master’s claims was that they had pre-sold the movies
based on certain plot elements that were now in jeopardy due to
Seagal’s unauthorized script changes. A plot description on
All Movie Guide mentions a casino heist, but changing a casino
to a warehouse sounds more like a budgetary issue than a rewrite
(backing up Seagal’s side of the story). The summary also says
that Harlan “has powerful psychic abilities and can punish a man
simply with the powers of his mind,” something that I sure as fuck
didn’t pick up on if it was supposed to be going on in the movie.
Movies Unlimited’s synopsis mentions that “when Seagal has a
supernatural experience while incarcerated, his life is forever changed.”
That doesn’t happen in the movie either.

PS: so it's possible that even tho' it was originally planned as a 'trilogy' ....Seagal himself
may have change d it while it was in progress.
