Ok. Decently cool premise, all set up for a Die Hard-like movie. Bond-level supervillain. Otherworldly (literally speaking) superweapon. All fine. But then what?
The craftsmanship, or massive lack thereof, ruins it. Special effects are hilariously lousy, ever for mid-90s standards. Cinematography is at film-school level. Continuity is a joke and there are plot holes big enough to have been blasted open by that aforementioned superweapon.
As for characters... Steven Seagal basically has one facial expression and that's that. Not much depth, not much to make us like him or root for him. He's just a Terminator-style killing machine popping bad guys and delivering criminally lousy one-liners after each kill - every cliché in the action movie book is there, alright - and there is never any doubt who will come out on top.
In short: it wastes its potential, and possibly an hour and a half of your life.
