Right, well we all know exactly what we get when we sit down to watch an action movie starring the teddy bear of the action genre, Steven Seagal. And, of course, this is right up that alley, yet it was surprisingly good and quite entertaining.
This movie stood out because Steven Seagal wasn't playing the usual goody two shoes roles that he usually does. Sure, once again he was portraying an ex-law enforcer, so what else is new, but this time with a darker side to the character. His character had a drinking and gambling problem, and was in massive debt. And the former police officer actually ended up as a hit-man. Yep, quite a refreshing turn of character for the action teddy bear.
The movie really benefited from having Lance Henriksen on the cast list, as he brought his usual dark charms and wits to the screen. Just a shame that he didn't got more time on the screen.
And you get the usual performance and action from Steven Seagal as you are accustomed to if you have been following his movie career. Lots of fighting and lots of gunfights, and of course with the one-man-against-impossible-odds setting.
"Pistol Whipped" stands out from the countless other generic Steven Seagal action movies, and it is well worth watching if you enjoy his movies or not. I was genuinely entertained by this 2008 movie, and it stands out as one of the better of all Steven Seagal movies.
