This film is just such dreck. My jaw dropped when someone compared this to "The Rock."
That's like comparing the Mona Lisa to a 3 year old's finger-painting.
Let me say, I had high hopes for this film. I loved "Exit Wounds" and thought that Seagal was getting over himself enough that maybe he might be able to kick ass and show some humor.
In this film, he did neither. The action scenes were poorly choreographed and staged. The acting was hokey all around. I thought that like in his last film, he had an African American co-star so that he could have someone to engage with.
Nope, turns out, he is just there to draw viewers Seagal can't get on his own. Ja Rule spent the entire movie getting his ass kicked. The relationship between the two felt forced and phony. There weren't any good lines of dialogue.
The whole movie is excruciating. We see Seagal's character trying to be "down" wearing a do rag throughout most of the film. At this point I was asking myself, "How much worse can you get?"
This is how much worse, an aging prima donna action star who won't allow himself to be shot from the waist down because his is getting heavy, so we have to stare at his jowly face for 3/4 of the film.
Uggh, go see anything but this film.
