First Words:
Ok, so first, it is not as good as i expected, but its not the worst dtv he made.
Story:
This time the story isn't that weird than in the other movies, but still some kind of weird and strange... Actually i think they just can't make a straight story where everyone can follow easily. But its ok.
2/5
Action:
The Action is made very well. The first 15 minutes are full of shootouts and war-action. All this action-scenes are made very well. Unfortunately, theres not much Seagal in this scenes only all 20-30 seconds we see him with sunglasses shooting around. But after that, there are some really good action-scenes, i think the amount of action is ok, because of the big action-scene at the beginning.
4/5
Fights:
Yes there are some fights with seagal. Not that much (you see about 90% of them in Kotegashi's Trailer). The fights are made like in the last movies short, but this time without any stunt-doubles. One fight is cool. In a toilet, Steven start to punch and kick a guy and throw him into the toilets and so on, really a cool scene. Overall, there are enough fight-scenes to keep someone watchin, but it would'nt be bad, if there were more...
3/5
Dubbing:
Actually i didn't heard any voice dubbing...
5/5
Stunt Doubles:
I never saw a stunt double, so, everything is made very well.
5/5
Acting:
Steven's acting was ok. Was not especially good, but it was ok. But i liked his acting more in Today you die.
2/5
Humor:
There isn't much humor. Only 2-3 cool one-liners from Seagal.
2/5
Special Effects:
The Effects made well. Cool explosions, cool shootouts. This things looked really expensive, and all effects are made cool and good.
4/5
Cinematography:
Was ok... Cool camera angles and so on, only the story is kind of crappy and weird, like always in the last few dtv's.
3/5
Music:
Actually i didn't like the music. The music was a lot better in Today you die, Black Dawn and Submerged. But overall it was "OK". Nothing special at all.
2/5
Overall Rating:
So we have here a new dtv from Seagal. Overall i expected more, but it was ok. The amount of action was cool, and that Steven do his own fights was really cool too. There was no voice dubbing and no crappy effects. But the story was kind of weird, and theres no "flow" in the story... And there are the things i mentioned above. Overall i can say it was entertaining, and it wasn't half as bad as some expected after the problems on the set. For me its better than Black Dawn and a little better than Today you die.
Ill give it 3/5.
