646f9e108c After an illustrious special ops career ends in disaster, Alexander (Seagal) goes off the grid and attempts to lead a quiet lifea handyman at an apartment complex in Romania. But when one of his tenants and her family fall under the thumb of a local gangster, Alexander is dragged into an all-out war between rival Chinese and Russian gangs; forcing him to not only defend the family, but bringing him face to face with an old foe, and giving him one more chance to reconcile his past. This was a well made movie. The movie felt polished, and thought out. I have seen most every Seagal movie made, and he did a really good job with this one. His sword work looked really well done.<br/><br/>If you like Seagal, and you would like to watch a good movie, then this will do. I didn&#39;t expect much from this movie when I sat down to watch it, but I&#39;m really glad I did. I see myself rewatching it at a later date.<br/><br/>Victor Webster does a good jobwell. Had some good fight scenes in it. <br/><br/>Iulia Verdes was good,the good looking girl who needed protection. I&#39;ve never seen her before, but I wouldn&#39;t mind seeing her in more movies.<br/><br/>Really, all the characters in this movie did a creditable job, and I didn&#39;t notice any bad acting, for a action movie. Review: This movie is pretty awful! The acting is really bad and the storyline was all over the place. Its about a special force officer (Seagal) who is trying to take down a rich arms dealer. After slipping through his fingers, he tracks him down in Europe but he is dragged into a Russian mafia war after trying to save his next door neighbour. He then realises that the Russian Mafia are connected to the arms dealer and with the help of his next door neighbours brother, they end up in a bloody war with loads of casualties. Personally, I didn&#39;t really like the flow of the film and the action was pretty terrible. Seagal goes missing through a lot of the movie and the other characters weren&#39;t that interesting. The beginning wasn&#39;t bad, when Seagal was trying to take down the arms dealer with the special forces but after such a big build up, I ended up feeling quite disappointed with the whole thing. <br/><br/>Round-Up: My expectations for this film wasn&#39;t that high because a lot of Seagal&#39;s latest work is pretty bad. I did enjoy the movie with Steve Austin but the rest of his films have terrible story lines and low class actors. I&#39;m sure that Seagal will release more of these straight to DVD movies, just to pay the bills, but he really does need to question his career, which has become a real disappointment. Luckily enough, his style of fighting doesn&#39;t take that much physical movement so, at 63 years of age, he can carry on coming out with these type of movies for his selected audience but I personally won&#39;t be renting another one anytime soon.<br/><br/>Budget: $7milion Worldwide Gross: N/A<br/><br/>I recommend this movie to people who are into their action movies about Seagal trying to take down a Chinese arms dealer. 2/10
