Empire Magazine Rated: 1/5 Dec 30, 2006 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com It's not just that Seagal makes awful movies; it's that he makes the exact same awful movies over and over. He's that annoying uncle who never stops borrowing money. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 1, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

thiago s Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/26/25 Full Review Garret C Everything about this is awful. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review larrykohut L Belly of the beast starring Steven seagul . Is about a guy on his way to retirement. But one day his daughter is kidnapped by a bunch of mobsters along with one of her female friends. And so he's told by cops that they will handle the situation. But he decides to take matters into his own hands . He wants to rescue his daughter and so he does just that . He does have help in the movie by a foreign dude and he does run into his girlfriend a few times in this movie. The pacing in this movie is done well and the acting is pretty good. For a 2003 film. A father willing to stop at nothing but to take out the bad guys and save his daughter. It's a good action movie. Ignore what rotten tomatoes says here 35 percent out of 100 . Well I give it a 70 out of 100. Parents guide/ Christian perspective Violence: very strong violence includes punching and kicking . Several scenes of gun fire and shooting at each other. Even a sword fight at the end of the film. Language: 2 gds said, multiple f words, s word said a few times and damn . Sex/ nudity :light .one sex scene where he sleeps with his girlfriend but it's brief and the camera cuts away to the next scene. Brief nudity shown from his girlfriend in this movie. Her breasts can be seen briefly. Drug references : none Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/24 Full Review William D One of the worst movies I have ever seen and has ever been made. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review isa e Action heroes should not waddle, it shouldn't wiggle when you giggle , bizarrely haphazard script , plot barely coherent Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This is actually not as bad as i was expecting but i only watched it as my friend gave it to me to laugh at! Seagal looks fat and old and the slo-mo close ups of him show his jiggling belly. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Read all reviews
