A Crime Lord Who Just Wants to Retire Gracefully
28 April 2016
This movie concerns a former government assassin by the name of "Alexander Coates" (Steven Seagal) who has decided to relocate to Albuquerque, New Mexico and start his own criminal business there. After and long and successful career he now considers retiring but finds that another ambitious crook by the name of "Ice Man" (Ving Rhames) wants to take over and has no intention of letting Alexander leave gracefully. Likewise, another minor crime boss named "Constantine" (Ivan G'Vera) also wants a piece of his business as well. Therefore, realizing that war is just around the corner, Alexander calls out to a former, down-on-his-luck protégé named "Roman Hurst" (Bren Foster) to help him out. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that I thought this was a fairly good movie overall with plenty of action to keep things moving along at a reasonably fast pace. Admittedly, it's not a great movie by any means but it managed to keep my attention just the same. On a side note, I should probably mention that this movie has a prequel by the title of "A Good Man" which might be of interest to those who enjoy films of this type. In any case, I rate this film as slightly above average.
