...Seagal's expanding size requires him to use a stunt man during such moments, and the switch from Seagal to stunt guy couldn't possibly be more obvious...

Even what should be the focal point of a 'Steven Seagal movie' (i.e. the punching of throats) is delivered in a style so shoddy that it boggles the mind.

Rated: 1/5

This has to rank as the worst Steven Seagal movie I've watched...yet. Unlike some reviews on other sites, I didn't find the fight scenes as bad as The Foreigner but the movie overall was absolutely putrid. The storyline was utterly ridiculous, the "dialogue" that seems as if it was voiced-over AFTER the fact (seriously, in probably 75% of the movie, there was no interaction between characters; it was someone speaking away from the camera so you never saw any facial movements, no interaction, etc)...I don't want to waste a lot of time reviewing this steaming pile. Suffice it to say that it was absolutely awful. Never ever ever EVER watch this. What a smelly heap of garbage.

The action is ok for a post-theatrical Seagal but it's still awful.
