Review of Absolution

An American action thriller; A story about John Alexander, a former U. S. special operations forces soldier. This film is a prequel to Force of Execution (2013) and a sequel to A Good Man (2014) where we saw him bring down a Chinese crime lord in Eastern Europe. Now we see him accepting a new mission from a government agency and encountering a girl on the run from another crime lord. Seagal is mysterious and edgy - a mercenary on the distant marshes of anti-hero. Any mystery about him is lost early in the story. Byron Mann's Tong hitman provides some relief for the deadly duo amidst all the violence. Vinnie Jones' cartoon villain and torturer doesn't put up much of a fight.
