At this point, you should already know what to expect from a modern Steven Seagal movie. The guy is aging as we all do and he has become on the "plus size" so obviously he ain't as mobile as he was before. Truth be i think Seagal himself understand it now cause more and more despite top billing and cover, he has more of a secondary roles in movies, letting a younger more in shape actor play the main. So as i said you should know what to expect by now so if you choose to watch the movie anyway, why complaining its yet another typical Seagal movie?
I personally enjoy those. They are cheesy, they are of minimal quality direct to dvd but usually they entertain me and i have a fun time. Cartels aka Killing Salazar was nothing different. The presence of GSP and Luke Goss added some pretty cool Martial Arts/Action scenes and the plot was interesting enough to keep me interested.
Obviously this ain't no Mission Impossible movie or something like that. If you accept it and see it for what it is, then its a decent saturday night pop corn movie.
