Review of Absolution

Mercenary: Absolution - Bit Better Than Expected.
10 November 2020
It's raining today, so I've binge-watched several of Steve O's movies.

The story is quite simple, a Romanian girl (Adina Stetcu) is conned in to being an Escort with her sister; and later is brutalized by a Psycho (ex footballer, Vinnie Jones.) Of course our hero (Steven) steps in and shuts down the operation.

Another in the line of 'Alexander' themed movies and partnering up once again with the reliable Byron Mann. There is a side story of an Afghani selling secrets to terrorists and a bad Intelligence Agent from the USA.

Some pretty tough fight scenes from both Steven and Byron - ending with a pretty ridiculous confrontation between Vinnie Jones and Segal at the end. Vinnie has a reputation as a 'hard man' - but the thought of him even trying to best Seagal in hand-to-hand combat is ludicrous. See for yourself.

Still, worth your time if you don't have much else to do - or it rains hard.
