I was a devout Steven Seagal fan for years but his recent movies are major disappointments.
To begin with, Seagal is looking increasingly like he's missed too many visits to the salad bar. His face is red and puffed up like a blow-fish and you don't even need the slow motion function to see that he is now simply incapable of doing his own stunts. The fight scenes look very suspect and the supposedly clever camera angles fail miserably in convincing the audience that the much leaner and agile stunt man is in fact Seagal. The plot is weak an his pistol never runs out of ammo.
This is daylight robbery. Seagal is getting paid to act and as a paying customer, I am expecting to get my money's worth. Instead, what I get is an over-sized action hero who looks out of breath even when he's talking on the phone - never mind fighting using a stunt man.
His low-budget, straight to DVD films receive poor reviews and yet he continues to have a loyal following. Its time he demonstrated his appreciation to his fans by shedding the pounds and giving them what they really want to see; Steven Seagal using his graceful Aikido moves to kick butt.
