A nice surprise! In fact, a film without too much unnecessary "fast" editing and effects, storyline or empty dialogue. Just pure ACTION! However, there are a lot of stupid clichees (of course) and basic things any one into directing films would have done differently. Some of these tend to irritate, some tend to entertain. There are many one-liners with attitude, like "Get me the fuck away from America" and "Hide this fucking piece of trash." First it seems Seagal is a psychopath on a rampage, but soon enough we realise he is a kind man looking for justice. But none of this is, at this time, too sugary. It is actually pretty fluent, and a lot of acting is also pretty decent, especially from Vitaly Kravchenko and Byron Mann. Marlaina Mah looks stunned all the way through, but at least she is listening to what Seagal has to tell her about his past... Not a bad film after seeing a lot of these, actually quite refreshing and solid! The music is at times ridiculous, but hey, it is meant to entertain!
