Unlike the list of producers in the opening credits, I'll keep this short. This is another of Seagal's latter day "bad" movies. You know this within the first five minutes. Stock footage ripped from another flick. Another body double for Steven in a disjointed, awful fight scene. Today You Die is a rarity in it was filmed in the States and features recognizable faces in the supporting cast. Oh, but this was 2005 and we hadn't relocated to Romania or the Eastern Bloc yet.
The storyline is simple enough. A former thief wants to do honest jobs. Okay - but he does so by working for some mysterious man on high who surrounds himself with goons? Laughable quips about dreams and mysticism. Unremarkable supporting cast.
Of course, this is an action flick - direct to video withstanding - and all would be forgiven if the action was well shot and exciting. Its not. No the best thing I can say about Today You Die is Steven actually smiles. Its something you don't see very often anymore.
