      William D This is absolutely one of the worst films I have ever seen. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review Marc Z Exactly what you would expect from a low budget, foreign, straight to streaming Steven Seagal movie. It actually doesn't disappoint because because you know what to expect going in. Seagal is an American drug enforcement agent trying to capture a sick Russian criminal drug runner and rapist. The cinematography makes it hard to watch. The acting is what you would expect. The script is confusing and all over the place. The fight choreography is fun. At least it isn't too long. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 06/19/23 Full Review camille l C'est pourtant quand Steven Seagal écrit lui-même ses DTV qu'ils sont meilleurs. Malheureusement sur Born to Raise Hell, réalisé par Lauro Chartrand qui alterne constamment entre accéléré et ralenti, il n'y a pas grand chose à sauver, même le bad guy Darren Shahlavi, qui sortait pourtant d'Ip Man 2 dans un rôle assez similaire. Steven Seagal disparaît assez souvent du film, le tout est filmé au fin fond de la Roumanie avec deux francs six sous et des acteurs abominables, qui feraient passer le cachalot aikidoka pour Warren Beatty. Mais le principal crime de Born To Raise Hell, c'est de durer 96 minutes, qui sont 95 de trop. Même sur l'échelle Seagalienne, le film de Lauro Chartrand est un pensum. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member About 25 years ago this might have got credible due to Steven Seagal kick ass routines but today's standard it's simply poor Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Last evening I decided to play a bit of Russian roulette again watch one one Steven Seagal's direct to DVD movies that was given on W9. Again there was nothing else worth watching and I did think the last one that I watched, The Keeper, was too bad (for a direct to DVD by Steven Seagal that is) so I thought let's watch it. This was not one of the better movies that I have watched to say the least. The movie starts off with a series of rapid cuts from a fire-fight and it pretty much continues in that manner. The entire movie is cut in a very choppy manner which I personally am not too thrilled about. The plot is forgettable to say the least and the entire movie is just a copy-paste job of standard scenes and actions sequences from start to finish. The action scenes are not too bad and what makes the movie not be a total waste. Do not try to find any logic in people's actions though. There is none. When Seagal felt he wanted some tough talk then he plopped it in and so on. I guess he likes scantily clad ladies as well since the movie is liberally sprinkled with them. Too bad only the bad guys seems to have the hard hitting chicks working for them though. Someone said that this was a "guy movie" and I would say that is a correct statement. It is filled with elements that would appeal to the stereotype of some "beer belching" male person doing most of his thinking using the reptile parts of his brain. I do not mind action, though talk and scantily clad ladies in the movies but I do prefer when there is a script worth talking about to string everything together instead if just throwing them into a blender and serve the slop that comes out. Not a total waste of an evening but close. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review dave j Friday, January 18, 2013 (2010) Born To Raise Hell ACTION Straight-to-rental low budget action film starring Steven Seagal who also co-produced and co-wrote the film playing an American leading an drug smuggling group in some foreign country. And while doing an investigation, his partner gets killed by a ruthless Romanian thug to which he rapes and then kills some of his victims. And once the Russian gangster finds out about the kind of person he was dealing with from Seagal, he decides he doesn't want to be a part of it anymore for he also has a family too. So after the Russian ganster finds out about what this thug does in his spare time the Romanian thug then attempts to victimize the Russian gangsters family as well. While Seagal vows vengeance for the death of his partner kiled by the Romanian thug and eventually exchanges information with the Russian gangster just because his family was attacked with only his wife ended up to being killed with his son almost being next in line. Production values are quite low as with the acting but for a low budget movie theirs a considerable amount of action entertainment which includes shootings and fighting. 2.5 out of 4 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
