Manning throws a pot of boiling hot water in to Collin's face, yet holds the pot with his bare hands. It should have burned his hands.

User Reviews

a bull in a china store

In general, this movie is not so good. But I can't say it's bad. I think that Steven Seagal has the same character in all his movies. In this movie he was like a bull in a china store destroying everything around him like a bulldozer.

As usual Seagal's movies are full of bone breaking and blood. But fight scenes are so exaggerated. We can notice that Seagal hasn't been hit all through this movie. And I think that the plot is somehow silly. On the other hand the director was good and some shots are so excellent. In conclusion, I didn't regret watching this movie, but Seagal can be better.
