1/5
The editing is lethargic and the acting boils down to lines being spoken... very... slowly... by gruff men. Go to Full Review

If one is jonesing for a turn-your-brain-off actioner and is not too discerning, this will suitably fit the bill. Go to Full Review

Seagal spends the majority of his screen time sitting down, and he only rouses himself for a few seconds at the end of the movie for something that could charitably be called an action sequence. Go to Full Review

Spot S Mar 29 If you feel like watching a corpulent Steven Segal huff, puff and wheeze his way into a heart attack this film is for you. See more Feb 11 Good solid action movie about a cop who is trying to avenge his son's death. Interesting to see Steven Seagal playing a supporting character role. See more William D @Williams0604 11/27/2023 One of the worst movies I have ever seen and has ever been made. See more 01/05/2023 Overall, what should be a gripping and mysterious film is ultimately filled with dull and vague moments. As a crime thriller, this film fails to hook its audiences from the start, even when something tragic occurs. Steven Seagal and DMX are here to deliver cringe-worthy but still somehow fun and threatening dialogue consistently. Their lack of screen presence will only sadden fans of the leading actors as actor John Messener takes the lead for most of the film. Sure, little moments of entertainment can be found here, but the film is also highly forgettable and slow for the vast majority. See more 01/14/2022 I was disappointed to find out that Steven Seagal was not the lead actor but in a supporting role when the review for the movie made it sound like he was the lead character. See more 12/18/2021 Instantly forgettable, cliched and tired plot, not sure on the editing either - despite it's one dimensional nature. See more Read all reviews
