Review of The Asian Connection

I know what you're thinking. Why in the hell would I suffer through a new Steven Seagal movie. Truth be told I don't know why myself. You never see him do anything worth note these days. I really only chose this because I was bored and I like Michael Jai White and Sahajak Boonthanakit. It also helps that at least these types of movies usually have gorgeous women. Daniel Zirilli has done a few other films I've seen which were from Tapout called Locked Down and Circle of Pain (which was awful). Writer D. Glase Lomond also worked on Locked Down. One really odd thing is that Tom Sizemore for some reason came up with the story for this. Now his current work isn't all that good so I can only assume he isn't a great writer either.

Well that was straight garbage! This is even worse than Circle of Pain which was pretty bad itself. The lead guy looks like the love baby of The Miz and Johnny Knoxville. He isn't the greatest actor either, but I honestly kind of liked him. Steven Seagal was boring as usual. I don't understand why he always has to wear sunglasses and I swear he wears the same pair in everything. Pim Bubear is a pretty bad actress, but she makes up for that with how attractive she is. I also liked Steven Seagal's love interest played by Darunee Srimueng who also can't act but is super attractive. Sahajak Boonthanakit did a good job though in his role. It's like he actually tried, but he should stick try to get into better movies. Michael Jai White wasn't utilized to his fullest here with a one scene role. I was so disappointed by that. I was hoping he had more to do to make this enjoyable. The shootouts weren't bad for this type of movie. It's pretty awful, but it could have been even worse.

Unless you are a huge Steven Seagal fan this movie should be avoided. I mean you could probably think of some way to make it more fun with a drinking game or something. As it is though it's such a lame movie with awful acting and a weak script. Steven Seagal must be pretty cheap since he is always in something by someone who hasn't done much. Just skip it.
