Any film with Kevin ("Adam 12") Tighe as a bad guy has to have some virtues.
The film starts with Harlan Banks' (Seagal's) lady, Jada, diddling with Rider-Waite Tarot cards, and getting some of the symbolism correct. She's psychic, you see, and shortly thereafter gets prophetic dreams, which like most such, are ambiguous. She warns Harlan to be careful, but....
Banks takes a job driving millions of dollars in an armored car. It's his first day on the job, and, surprise! it's a doublecross. After a wild chase, he ends up captured, and in prison. Here, he discovers he's still alive because everybody wants the money, which has mysteriously disappeared.
Max (Tighe) was behind the attempted heist, but apparently was killed. Someone mentions that Max dabbled in black magic, and was really still alive, but most everybody considers him deceased. Except Banks. He wants revenge.
Fortunately, he befriends Ice Cool (Anthony Kriss) another prisoner, by saving his life, and by speaking street Ebonics, showing he's hip. The two of them break out of jail, and the action goes on from there.
The story is a bit silly, and, MAJOR SPOILER Like some of Seagal's other films, there's Corruption in some of the Good Guy ranks.
The mystic element the film started with kinda peters out. How Max survived wasn't really explained. But the film has action, etc.
