Ringo Lam Unleashed In Hell
Steven Seagal's upcoming movie (that's supposedly 'In Production') is looking very promising. Ringo Lam was said to be the directing leader for the Seagal's upcoming feature presentation of 'Unleashed.' For all those unfamiliar with his work, I strongly recommend watching 'In Hell' (a.k.a. The Savage) starring Jean Claude Van Damme. I just finished viewing the film, and all I can say is that if Van Damme keeps going with his movies in that direction, he WILL be a reincarnated success. Unlike Steven Seagal, Van Damme has always shown to be more of a fighter than an artist, and 'In Hell' shows no art; well no martial art that is. 'In Hell' was very well directed and Van Damme has shown a new side to his acting (very dramatical at all times) thanks to Ringo Lam.
For those who have lost faith in Jean Claude (or for those who had none to begin with) go and get the movie and see the rehabilitated "muscles from Brussels." DO NOT rent the movie expecting a non-stop thrills of action keeping you at the edges of your seats, because that is not what the movie is about at all. The movie actually takes a serious view and brings light upon those who do not know of the conditions and the inhumane treatments of prisoners in Eastern European prisons (Russia in this case). This is a Seagal-type movie with a well defined script and a narrative portion that keeps you watching right until a dramatic finish.
Van Damme's latest movies were not of the quality he once used to make (80's and early 90's) similar to Steven Seagal's (keep in mind I haven't seen Belly of the Beast yet). But 'In Hell' reintroduces you to the man you once knew of being compationate to the sport and to his career, who is looking to a future of success and recognition (maybe not so much in the sport itself, but in acting). Van Damme has my respect for doing such a piece of work, and Ringo Lam has my patience running short for 'Unleashed.'
The DVD of 'In Hell' shows Ringo Lam in action, and portrays him as a director not to mess with. This is a director who asks for perfection, and nothing less PERIOD! Those who opposed him, feared him, but that's what made 'In Hell' a total success (in my view). Steven Seagal deserves nothing else but perfection, and Ringo Lam alongside the Sensei will make a team that producers will throw money at (or should for that matter, because I would if I could afford to invest).

.Seagal starts work on Into The Sun on 15th March;then he goes straight on to Submerged in June.I just can't see him being able to fit Unleashed & Glory in this schedual.
