Unimaginative, full of clichés "off the rack" movie. To put it simply, fast food, and not even of the good, juicy kind. Better still, let's call it junk food. I readily accept that an action movie does not have to be an artistic masterpiece, but this one went really low into the gutter, especially considering the cast involved.
The screenplay is un-involving, in some instances doesn't even make much sense, it is totally unbelievable. The casting is ridiculous (just have a look at the precinct commander, and if you find her believable in her role...). To make things worse for an action movie, even the fighting scenes are not very good either. Most of them are way over the top, and Steven Seagal is by no means up to most of the stuff he is supposed to be doing in them. He looks overweight, slow and totally out of shape (so considering his acting talent, there's nothing left). It would have been much better if he had stayed in 'retirement'. Avoid if possible.
