My review
The plot:
It is a very decent plot for this kind of DTV action movie. However it could be done better and more detailed, I am quite satisfied.
Action:
Steven performs most of the fights and uses aikido. That is really a great aspect, which is positive for the film. The fights are extremely brutal and cool, although the camera is sometimes too close. The stunt-double is well hidden and a common viewer might not notice him either. The shootouts are only average and the final one in the Russian house is too long and not realistic.
Cinematography:
The director Keoni Waxman made a decent job, but his performance is far away from Roel Reine's performance. The editing and camerawork are decent throughout the movie, but in the fights it is sometimes too fast edited. The music is surprisingly nice, but I can't compare with PW, where the music was simply great and awesome. The stunt-double is there, but not much visible. The voice dubbing is noticeable, but it is not that bad as in Attack Force.
The cast:
For a DTV it is decent. The Chinese actors are cool and the Russians too. I think, that it is better than in The Keeper.
Overall:
Steven Seagal still holds on the track. Although it is a B-movie and worse than The Keeper and Driven To Kill, we must be grateful for this. It is worth for seeing. My ratings for Steve's latest movies: UJ 72%, PW 80%, KS 60%, DTK 71%, A Dangerous Man 70%.
Steven is still able to kick asses very well, so I hope that BTRH will show some cool action scenes. I trust, that he is preparing for Under Siege 3 now and is gonna to make it in 2010. In 2011 it can hit the big screens.
