Trivia
In the beginning of the movie, a garbage-truck can be seen entering the prison. On the back it says "Troy - Disposal services". The logo next to this is the head of a horse. This is a reference to the ancient Greek myth of the battle of Troy in which a big wooden horse plays a vital role. The lettering on the truck foreshadows events that await in the movie.

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.
