by the way i saw hpd last night and i give it a 6/10.it was a good action film if you like shooting and explosions but if you want to see seagal fight then your better of watching marked for death or nico.seagals fight scenes reminded me of the fight scene seagal had with the russian in glimmer man when he kicks him into the spike....all you could see was seagals hands move fast and his face.seagal was still cool in the film and looked like he could kick the s**t out of anyone and is still 50 times better then vin diesel.there was about 20 people in the cinema when i was there and it holds about 80 so it was only a quarter full.

Hi everyone (it's my first message but I'm a long time reader :) )

I saw Half Past Dead last night too, it was the release date in french theaters.

And I would give it a 6/10 too, maybe more when I see it in english (it was dubbed in french with a different voice than before)

I liked the relationship between Seagal and Ja Rule, I like to see Steven interact with people without kicking their ass :D

There was a nice amount of action and humor, but too many people shooting with 2 guns. It's a bit ridiculous when even a FBI agent uses two guns.

I was a bit disappointed because I wanted Half Past Dead to be at least as good as Exit Wounds, but it's not.
But way better than "The Foreigner" (I really didn't like that one)

Thanks ;)

By the way, the french title for Half Past Dead is "Mission Alcatraz" :p

Most of Steven Seagals movie titles are translated in France, sometimes it's funny :p

welcome klok...I really like your avatar...:D I liked HPD myself, but Exit Wounds absolutely rules! (ok, maybe Fire Down Below rules a little too...;) The point is, you have come to the right place...:D

Here is a little piece I found about HPD, it comes from Jet magazine online...


Half past dead (rated PG 13). (movies to see).
Author/s: Sylvia P. Flanagan
Issue: Nov 25, 2002

Sascha Petrosevitch is a widowed undercover agent posing as a tough, international car thief who has many friends on both sides of the law. Career criminal Nick Frazier has been like a brother to him. One night on a job, female FBI agent E.Z. Williams intercepts Sascha and Nick. Nick refuses to surrender and the Feds open fire. Sascha takes seven bullets for Nick--saving his life. Sascha's heart stops for 22 minutes--"half past dead" and he's almost pronounced dead before he is revived. To maintain his cover, Sascha is sentenced with Nick to the newly refurbished, high-tech prison Alcatraz. Meanwhile, legendary prisoner Lester is charged with robbing an armored vehicle and stealing $200 million worth of gold. And disgruntled prison bureaucrat-turned-criminal mastermind Donny has assembled a commando team to infiltrate Alcatraz. Nick and Sascha must stop the invaders before they murder the Supreme Court Justice who is present for the impending execution. Starring in this action-thriller are Steven Seagal, Morris Chestnut, Ja Rule, Mo'Nique, Nia Peebles, Michael "Bear" Taliferro, Kurupt, Bruce Weitz, Claudia Christian, Matt Battaglia and many more.
