I finally got the chance to see this last night, and to be honest, I wasn't expecting much, considering some of Seagal's more recent output. However, I was pleasantly surprised. The plot manages to move along at a nice pace and doesn't really ever get bogged down. Some things I liked were that the fight scenes were well edited and showed more (usually) than some utter pieces of crap like, say, Attack Force or Flight of Fury. There was also some (un)intentionally funny dialogue, none of which, unfortunately, is suitable for reproduction here. However, it did have it's downsides as well. Most of the supporting roles, Nikita's in particular, weren't well casted, and certainly not well-acted, even for a B-movie like this one. I also thought that the set-up for the film went by just a little too quick. There was also some really odd continuity errors, and a little of the dubbing of Seagal's voice which I (and probably many others) hate. I also noticed that they used a "hair" double for all of Seagal's rear shots. All in all, I felt it was a worthy addition to Seagal's DTV output, up there with Pistol Whipped and Urban Justice. It has just enough action and one-liners to satisfy fans, and better production values than most of his other DTV projects. Maybe some of this is being too harsh, considering that it isn't really a mainstream film with A-list actors, but for a Seagal movie, I wasn't disappointed.
