Captivating movie !

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Hard to watch. Half the film uses Japanese with no subtitles.leaves you totally lost. Bad acting. Stupid characters. Incomprehensible screen play, and odd cinematography. Only good thing was some fight scenes. Not worth your time.

I am a big Steven Seagal fans. I loved his early films ("Out for Justice", "Above the Law", "Under Siege") and enjoyed some of the later ones too ("Hard to Kill", "Marked for Death", "Dark Territory", "The Glimmer Man", "Exit Wounds"), but as his career prospered and his weight grew, the quality of the films started to slip as did their box office appeal. Beginning in 2001, Seagal as a writer and producer made direct to video (DTV) films, usually cranking them out at a rate of 3 per year. They were almost universally poor and didn't showcase Seagal's considerable Aikido skills. This is one of those.Production values are uniformly good and the editing is excellent. Seagal plays the familiar role of the mysterious connected agent with a background in special ops and training in the ways of the east. He spouts a lot of the eastern philosophy we've come to expect in a Seagal film.Hard core Seagal fans will be disappointed that the action sequences don't include a lot of scenes of Seagal beating up the bad guys. He uses his usual fast cutting methods to suggest the scene rather than actually portray the action, probably because at this point in his life he no longer has the skills to perform, as he once did. Bottom line – Better than most of the films he made at this time, but not like the old days.

I've voted 5/10 for this film but only because I turned off after 34mins, which I've had to do for a couple of his movies.The filming was very good which makes a change for some of his recent films, many are filmed dark and poorly lit this could be lack of budget or the eastern European styling. However I thought Id missed the point of this film because some characters were speaking Japanese to English speakers and English to Japanaese - there were no subtitles and I hate them anyway, I only use them when Im watching a film in another language altogether or there is too much background noise, this meant I missed half of what was being said, its a bit like listening to half a phone conversation.I really wanted to see this film as some of the songs from the crystal cave came from this, however I decided I could live without watching it through, I was slightly concerned about Steven again being portrayed with a young girl as his lover, surely its more believable to have a relationship with an older woman, or would that just not suit his image? Oh hmmmm maybe tomorrows offering will be better, but Im not holding my breath of course

You can think what you want about Steven Seagal, but you definitely can't ignore him. He's not just a movie actor, he's an entire genre all by himself. Within that genre, "Into The Sun" isn't the worst. Not the best either, but worth watching all the way through. Seagal's a bit too out of shape to really match up to what he did in the early 90s, but at least it seems like he's actually trying this time around. He's probably still using stunt doubles, but he sure as hell does it more cleverly this time around. Generally the action scenes just look right, the visual style to this is excellent. I especially enjoyed the grand finale, which focuses on some really well-choreographed sword fights. There are some downsides too, but they are the same downsides pretty much every Seagal flick has. Why do people keep putting Seagal in love subplots? It's embarrassing to watch every time. Also there's the usual spiritual stuff that was only amusing once. This really isn't that bad, but yet again it brings absolutely nothing new.
