Top notch Seagal action film, 28 March 2003
8/10
Author: shakey_jake53 from Toronto, Ontario

This is one of Seagal's last good films. It has lots of good action scene's and Seagal and Wayans make a solid team. The shootout at the end was solid and the fight scene's were cool too. This movie ranks with UNDER SIEGE, ABOVE THE LAW, OUT FOR JUSTICE, and MARKED FOR DEATH as Seagal's best film's. FIRE DOWN BELOW was decent too and that was officially Seagal's last watchable film, but this one ranks up there with his best. Its no LETHAL WEAPON or 48 HRS when it comes to cop buddy thrillers, but its still solid. 4/5
