The Steven Seagal Films Review Thread

[saltysam]

i saw On Deadly Ground in HMV this week.Has this been out before in the UK?

[Markgway]

No. It was due to come out in 2000 but withdrawn. Only a few copies escaped into the marketplace (with an incorrect '12' cert on the cover). The current DVD will be the same cut cinema version as the BBFC have never passed the film uncut.

As for Out for Justice, I didn't like that one too much. The finale is one of the weakest of any Seagal flick.

OFJ is easily his best film and the super violent finale is class. I wish all action movies ended with a scumbag getting a corkscrew stabbed in their head.

Out for Justice was good, the violent finale was fun As was the pool hall fight.

Added DRIVEN TO KILL

[brooce-leroy]

i've got machete but not watched it yet.

[Markgway]

Not seen it either. Don't count it as 'a Steven Seagal film'. It just a film he happens to be in ala Executive Decision.

[brooce-leroy]

Machete 4/5

The film is awesome and Michelle Rodriguez has never looked hotter.

Seagal has an extended cameo as the baddie. He puts in a semi amusing performace, but can't cut the mustard in action scenes any longer. He looks bloated and around 11 months pregnant.

[Markgway]

Added 'Kill Switch'.

Added EXIT WOUNDS

[saltysam]

i liked Exit Wounds,compared to the unwatchable dreck he's serving up nowadays it's a stone cold classic.

[brooce-leroy]

I thought Exit Wounds was amazing when I first saw it. It ranks 2nd for me for this director's films (the first being Cradle 2 The Grave).

That's not saying much is it?

[brooce-leroy]

Cradle is a really fun B movie. If it didn't have so much shaky-cam style, quick fire editing, it'd be a classic. Romeo Must Die is not bad either.

I finally got round to it myself, disappointed sadly.

It was sadly the brilliant trailer, but with a film inserted around it. All the best bits were in the trailer

Worth a watch, but hey I remember a interview with the cast and M,Michelle saying after all these years of doing covered up respectful films, now she is playing the hotty and can finally get em out. She didnt!

Even Seaguls fight was badly done, the editing was atrocious!

[brooce-leroy]

What did you expect when the trailer was so good? I don't think its a great idea to have a fake trailer to be the genesis of a feature film. As I've already said, I did really enjoy it, so no complaints here from me. I can't believe I actually like a film that romero is not so keen on.

p..s we do get a glimpse of Lohan nipple.

[romerojpg]

Yup It was odd the footage from the trailer was there, with the unknown actress, then the next shot it was Lohan with her hair flowing over her baps haha I thought they may have re-filmed some bits, but nope its all the footage from the 3 year old trailer by the end they did get them out and it was no fake trailer girl, which was nice
