"Assumption is the mother of all f*ck ups."
20 March 2011
It's a Steven Segal, so to ridicule its story or acting or character development is completely pointless. You know its story is going to be predictable and lame, you know the majority of the acting will make you laugh when its not meant to, and you won't cry because any of the characters achieved enlightenment. No, you watch this type of film solely for the sake of how Segal will dispose of the antagonists. This film makes you wait a bit, but once the action starts it's pretty good and Segal does what he's known for- kicking ass! However, as with most of his works, I'm disappointed because it felt too easy. Eric Bogosian is enjoyably insane and sarcastic, but Patrick Kilpatrick looked like a bad ass who actually might give our hero a run for his money. Nope, he takes him apart with moderate ease, making the final climatic one-on-one battle a complete waste. I mean Segal just looks way to clean and unruffled by the climax. Didn't he get sniped in the arm? you would think he might struggle a bit with a wound like that, but naw, he beats ass regardless. An idiotic yet fun movie I recommend for a day you have nothing better to do.
