Adkins is back doing what he does best & that's wiping out the bad guys in brutal ways & he's on Awesome form here as a guy named "NERO" who is raising his teenage son in a quiet part on Mexico until his son is captured & held by Gangsters until Nero completes some dangerous tasks of taking out their competition of other Cartels & only then will he get his son back safe.
It's an easy setup for an action Thriller but that's fine as this is a fast & brisk 80 or so mins of cracking action, fights & shootouts as our hero with a dark past Nero flies through each mission slaughtering bad guys left right & centre.
Adkins's Nero is like the Punisher here & he's Awesome & has kept his real British accent which i prefer & he's a no nonsense killing machine & what's really fun about this slick flick is that he's filming everything he does from a camera in the middle of his bulletproof vest so the Gangsters who have his son can see him carry out the brutal missions & our main villain here is Mario Van Peebles & head actually very funny & almost likable especially compared to another evil bad guy, an Ex-Spy (British) who used to work with Nero in the past but was dirty & he's a right evil dude here.
Seized is a quick paced wild ride through Mexico's Cartels with Adkins moving at rapid speed & it's very entertaining especially as his last film was terrible that LEGACY OF LIES but here he's truly back on killing form & again as i watched him kick-ass all i could think is this guy is soooooooo underrated & unappreciated as an Action Star & an Action Hero Lead, i mean Adkins could be the next BATMAN or the next PUNISHER or even the next JAMES BOND!!!! Adkins is Awesome FACT.
So wish Hollywood would've snapped him up by now especially considering the crap leads they've got like Brad Pitt or Sam Worthington or Jai Courtney or Tom "Cult" Cruise or Gerrard Butler among others that i find ridiculously overrated & bland.
Adkins rules, keep bringing out these Cult Action films as he is the king of the DTV Action Genre
