Ratings and reviews

This isn't a bad Steven Seagal movie like the ones he's been releasing for the past 20 years, but it isn't up to the standard of the likes of Under Siege, Out For Justice and Marked For Death. It's a bit slow in the middle and his environmental preaching does start to grate but it earns an extra star for the action in the last half hour and for Michael Caine's bad guy performance. This is also the heavily censored UK VHS version, Amazon Prime have the uncut version.

Best steven seagal film on the film list.. But mabe one day hard to kill will be on ther :-D

This is a brilliant action movie. Steven Seagal is very good as Forrest Taft and Michael Caine plays a very good baddie in this film. I must recommend it.
