Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly Rated: D- Sep 7, 2011 Full Review Entertainment Weekly Rated: D- Jun 1, 1990 Full Review Andrew Sarris Video Review The choreography of violence is competent enough to satisfy the more violence-addicted sector of the video public. For even a modicum of redeeming charm, wit or humor, however, Seagal is clearly no Schwarzenegger. Rated: 2/4 Aug 5, 2022 Full Review Juan Carlos Coto Miami Herald Hard to Kill -- which is even less subtle than its title -- is all show and no depth. Rated: 2/4 Aug 16, 2021 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a fairly ludicrous premise that's employed to impressively entertaining effect... Rated: 3/4 Feb 12, 2020 Full Review Brian Orndorf Blu-ray.com It's a highly amusing motion picture with a distinct '80's action feel, matched perfectly to Seagal's limitations as an actor and his endearing way with limb-snappings. Rated: B Jul 30, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Howard H Seagal at action best. Predicable at times but you know what you are in for before. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/24 Full Review Christopher J great movie lots of action steven seagal at his best Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/03/24 Full Review Alan M They have edited and cuts bits out and considering you have to be 18 on this sight and you buy or rent them I think it's totally disgusting to be putting the edited version on this site Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review William D This was an okay movie to pass the time. Their is no need to watch it more than once. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/23 Full Review carlos t Minha opinião: Um dos melhores filmes de Steve Seagal em uma época onde tínhamos os homens casca grossa da década dos anos 80 e 90. Seagal aparece dando sequênia a Stalone, Arnold, Bruce Willis, Chuck Norris,...... E vem na pegada de Van Damme. Aqui temos Seagal como um policial, que esta investigando a máfia e a ligação com políticos. E em uma dessas investigações descobre esta ligação. E nesse momento policiais corruptos vão até a casa dele e assassinam sua esposa e seu filho foge, ele fica todo baleado, onde pensam que o mataram. Porém quando é levado ao hospital seu amigo Coffin o declara morto, porem ele esta em estado de coma e também cria o filho dele. Quando passa mais de 10 anos de coma, ele acorda,mas é dado orientações para quando ele acordasse seu amigo fosse avisado, porem ele já esta aposentado e os policiais corruptos que atendem e vão atrás dele. Nesse momento a médica Lebrok o salva e o ajuda restabelecer seu físico. Mas os bandidos vão atrás dele novamente. Com muitos tiros, lutas e perseguição de carro. Até que ele se reencontra com seu filho e seu amigo. Mas os bandidos retornam e pegam seu filho como refém. E vamos para a parte final. Onde ele vai se vigando com aqueles que mataram sua esposa e todos os policiais corruptos. Neste filme o diferencial e o ar de romance que existe, que normalmente isso não vemos em seus filmes. Mas como Lebrock (esposa na época) que não se renderia. Bem que nos seus filmes sempre tem beldades como Erika Eliak, Sharon Stone, Katherine Heigl,... Roteiro: bem elaborado e enrendo também. Vale apena assistir? Sim Nota: 7,5 Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Joseph S Maybe one of the worst acting, most non realistic scenes and worst 2 hours I have EVER wasted of my life. What a crap movie ! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/22 Full Review Read all reviews
