Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 05/20/2015
Seagal looks like a disgraced Vegas magician, swaddled in a big coat and sporting an unfortunate goatee, drowsy line readings and the combat prowess of a walrus. Go to Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com 05/15/2015

Returning to his comfort zone of bulky costuming and easily defeated baddies, the new Seagal production is much like the other Seagal productions, with the mumbly, iron-fisted star barely paying attention while the movie carries on around him. Go to Full Review Sean Burns Movie Mezzanine 05/15/2015
It's fun checking in on Seagal every now and again in that mean way that the Germans have a word for, because the dude got really fat. Like, he's getting Brando heavy. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

William D @Williams0604 11/27/2023 One of the worst movies I have ever seen and has ever been made. See more camille l 01/28/2021 Evidemment qu'Absolution est un film incompétent, d'une laideur innommable, montrant un désintérêt pour toute forme de cinéma un tant soi peu stimulante absolument agaçant. Mais Absolution est un bien meilleur Steven Seagal que bon nombre de ses précédents DTV pour la simple et bonne raison que celui-ci, encore une fois pas plus qu'un troisième rôle, est enfin entouré par un vrai acteur : Byron Mann. De ce fait, Absolution suit le très charismatique Byron Mann enchaîner des bastons filmées n'importe comment, mener une enquête qui ne fait aucun sens et se faire Vinnie Jones qui n'a pas dû passer plus de 20 minutes sur le plateau. Ajoutez-y quelques aphorismes de Steven Seagal et une fascination pour les happy endings des massages thaïlandais et Absolution aurait presque un peu de charme. Presque. See more 02/04/2017 No different than any other modern Seagal movie - self-serious with poor acting and boring action. If that sounds appealing to you, then Absolution won't disappoint. See more 01/20/2017 Kyllä on Seagal vajonnut alas. Pisteet meneekin perinteiselle luiden murkaamiselle ja Seagalin liikkeille. See more 09/01/2016 Seagal sits around a room looking bored while his partner is out and about doing all the action. Guess he just couldn't be bother as he mumbles through his lines See more 04/14/2016 Another Steven seagal movie. Basic plot with terrible acting and poor dialogue. Fight scenes were good but the same as always. See more Read all reviews
