The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;
Decker is an ex-DEA agent who takes action one night to save a girl from an abusive boyfriend. She approaches Decker with a proposition, help her steal $2 million from a car guarded by police and share the bounty. But if they outrun the cops, can they outgun the hit squads sent by the drug lord to reclaim the money........2016 must go down as Seagals worst year for churning out the most terrible films ever committed to a DVD.Fair enough, films like Attack Force, Against The Dark, and Belly Of The Beast were also terrible, but at least they had the comedy value of a terrible dubbed voice, and the most inappropriate stunt double I've ever seen.This is the era where the man simply cannot be bothered to do anything else than sit down, get the makers to get a quite attractive woman fall for Seagal, and make sure his suits make look just obese, rather than morbidly obese.And it's the pits. It's basically the same story-line that Seagal has had for the last fifteen years, man against the European criminal outfit.So we have Seagal with his token sunglasses, amazing stick on hair, and him grabbing someone's hand and killing them by slightly making them fall over.After the awful Sniper film, and the other one where he played the villain, not forgetting the one where he ripped off death wish, this really spells the end of what was once a viable action star.I'll never give up on the man, after all, he gave us marvellous action films from 1988 to 1996, and then he made the very enjoyable Exit Wounds, but this really is the lowest of the low.You can just tell he cannot be bothered anymore.And it's fools like me who get suckered in to the miracle that he may just have one last great set piece in him.Rather than a pie piece.
No more words needed.. In the early days I was a big fan of Steven Seagal. With good acting, great action flicks and of course better actors and directors. Nowadays in his new movies we see stand inns, an incredible over sized Steven Seagal and the worst acting I have ever seen in years. Not only from Mr. Seagal, but also from the entire cast. The movies are made cheaper and cheaper, with this time extreme bad makeup and also special effects (!). It's getting worse by every movie. Steven, come on ! Please get in shape, take an example to Chuck Norris, Jean Claude van Damme and Dolf Lungren, and show us what we would see from you, like in the early years!
Of all the former action stars (Van Damme, Lundgren, Schwarzenegger) Steven Seagal has had the most pathetic decline. While it is true that Lundgrens movies are filmed at a lower budget, at least Lundgren is in shape and is actually emotionally present in his movies.Seagal hasn't given a f*** about his movies in the past 15 years. And this one is no different. There are few fight scenes, and the few there are, are so horrible and cheap. Seagal just touches their arms and they fall down. Not even his body double does much movements this time. The shoot outs are slow and just look awkward. Seagal just mainly sits down in this movie and mumbles something about honor, the past and friendships. The movie has a weak attempt at trying to emulate a heist movie, but it fails miserably. The acting from the supporting cast is standard Romanian fare and the female lead is nothing special, and her story arc is garbage, she for no reason does a complete break of her characters logic at the end of the movie. For some reason there are scenes with a head boss talking on the phone. You never see his face, and his voice is clearly dubbed over. They never return to this character, and it makes no sense whatsoever to have him in this film.Don't waste your time with this movie
Seagal made some pretty good movies back in the day, but now he seems out of his element and past his prime. It reminds me of John Wayne playing Attila the Hun, no matter what he played he was always John Wayne. Seagal's style of "speak softly and carry a big stick" works in some venues but it has become his trademark and it's getting old. His constant whispering of dialogue seems so out of place with the gangsta slang he uses. He mumbles his words without any emotion whatsoever. I just don't believe the types of characters he portrays would be so soft spoken and philosophical. He really needs to find a script that is written just for him and his style of acting. The action, when available, are his typical Aikido moves. The script is sort of a rehash and compilation of other similar action movies. Nothing new or striking. It's a movie you could turn off halfway through and forget about.
