I couldn't believe I bought home another Steven Seagal film rental. I promised myself that I wouldn't see another Steven Seagal movie since this guy's acting got worse and worse. But I saw this film tonight and I must say......it's not bad.
This is your typical action flick about terrorists wanting to blow up an American city and the CIA agents that stop them from doing so. I really like the female CIA agent, she's beautiful, intelligent and courageous. There is your usual heart pounding fight scenes and car chase scenes and people getting shot at scenes and many, many things getting blown up in a huge ball of fire scenes. All fun stuff, typical "B" movie.
The things that stand out for me in this movie is how good looking all the actors and actresses look and very decent acting all around. Steven Seagal does his usual one-note acting and he's looking kinda fat lately. As a matter of fact, Steven Seagal was the only thing that nearly screws up this action film. Thank goodness the cast around him were really excellent. Or is it that Steven Seagal's acting has gotten so bad that any actor would look good around him? I recognized Andrew Stevens playing a bit part as a security guard. He was still recognizable to me even in his make-up as an older guy with graying hair, glasses and an ugly mustache. I had no idea Andrew Stevens is now a producer. I still remember him on TV and in some film from the 1980s. The last film I saw him in was a sex thriller with Shannon Tweed and Morgan Fairchild, and that was very, very long ago! I figured, if Andrew Stevens continues to produce action flicks like this, I wouldn't mind watching them, even if he uses Steven Seagal again, which, uh, I kinda hope he doesn't! It's a good movie rental, something to watch when there's nothing else on TV.
