Submerged starring Steven Seagal! Its his newest film released on DVD and I have very mixed emotions about it. I liked it because the camera effects were cool and the action was good and then I didn't like it. I'll go through the good and the bad below.
THE GOOD 2 OK:
The fights: YEAH!!! Steven Seagal fights Gary Daniels! Camera shots: The jumpy camera work was a cool feature to the movie.
The actors: Steven Segal and Gary Daniels together in a film and they fight each other! Is this a sign that other well known martial arts actors will be in Seagal's future movies? William Hope and Vinny Jones have appearances. The two women were neat.
THE BAD 2 WORST:
Seagal's talking: He'd change his voice constantly to a light voice and then a deep voice and if that wasn't bad enough he'd change his accent like a southerner then to a cowboy and then back to the regular accent we're all used too. What the heck was up with that?
The fights: There was only a couple but they were OK because they weren't long I mean extremely brief! Daniels was no match for Seagal as he got killed by Seagal. The big bodyguard guy was absolutely not even a sparing partner and the fight with him and Seagal! I mean dang it, a guy like that should have lasted longer!
Nick Brimble: Was he trying be Jack Palance or thought he was him?
Plot: It was confusing as everything just jumped around back and fourth, back and fourth!
The color: The color kept on changing and changing! Why?
The dialog: Examples: (Gary Daniels: I'm taking over this Submerine now! Steven Seagal: You're just gonna have to kill me I guess...) (Steven Seagal: Let me ask you a question. What kind of damn fool do you think I am? I'm still in prison for doing the same thing you're about to ask me to do again). I thought a lot of the dialog was funny and I laughed at most of it.
The camera work: Why was there so much camera effects? It seemed funny because even when someone got killed they didn't fall like they should. Instead it seemed like they skipped a spaces and got to the ground earlier than you'd expect?
The opera concert: Hopw the conductor looked up and here and there when guys were getting killed.
Surely everything that seemed funny was unintentional? Right? There many other points I could point out but there are too many of them. You may consider this film to be one of those that are so bad is its films. I would only recommend this film to people who like unintentional hilarious moments in films and of course Seagal completest and hardcore fans.
Movie Nuttball's NOTE: If you are big Steven Seagal fan like Me then I strongly recommend you to check out these other great movies! Above the Law, Hard to Kill, Marked for Death (Must see because it great!), Out for Justice (Great!), Under Siege, On Deadly Ground (Really good!), Under Siege 2: Dark Territory (Very good!), The Glimmer Man (In My opinion his all time best and one of the greatest films ever!), Fire Down Below (Excellent!), The Patriot, Ticker, The Foreigner (Surprising great!), Out for a Kill, Belly of the Beast, and Into the Sun (Great sword fighting)!
