Review of Driven to Kill

An American action film; A story about a former Russian mobster turned author of hardboiled pulp fiction novels. He returns home for his daughter's wedding but, shortly before the ceremony, she is assaulted by his arch-enemy, prompting him to join forces with her fiance and set off in pursuit of her attackers. A far-fetched, poorly written action thriller, gratuitously brutal and occasionally barbaric. Steven Seagal doesn't commit fully to his Russian character. Usually he is a man of few words but this time round due to poor sound mixing he is of even fewer. While there's plenty of action, the story is unconvincing and quite flat, and tension leaks out of the prolonged finale.
