From about 2002 to 2005 Seagal was really not very good at picking movies. Or maybe those he made were the only ones offered to him. Lately though, his pictures are getting better and better with each one. The last ones like Against the Dark, Kill Switch and Driven to kill were all pretty good movies. This latest one might have even made it into theaters if Seagal Movies didn't retain a certain distrust from the audience. As for the Plot: Seagal plays a Cop who is betrayed and shot by his partner, but survives. Soon after he is discharged from the force due to medical complications. Moments after getting the dismissal notice he receives a Call from an old friend of his who is now a rich property owner in Texas begging him to help him out with a big security problem. His daughter was recently the victim of a kidnapping attempt and he begs Seagal to look after her. Of course the noble knight can't refuse a plea from an old friend. Well long story short he travels there fights a lot of bad guys, kills a bunch of them and the whole process of doing so looks really great.

Of course this Movie can't keep up with $100 Million Productions but it can easily keep up with such movies as "War" or the "Transporter"-Movies.

For Seagal Fans this should be a no brainer and for fans of decent action flicks you might wanna try it.

Seagal is going back to basics in this movie sticking to what he knows. Beating up the bad guys. Really didn't know what to expect and was blown away by this latest movie. If he continue to make movies like this he will leave the stinkers behind. gave it 8 : 10 for making an effort to please his fans. Seagal needs to work harder with his movies and using what he knows to sell himself. He will never be a great actor but he could be the greatest action star. Hope he continues this trend. I hope they make an under siege 3, as this would be a suitable direction for seagal and pull in new fans and incorporate new ideas. His gangster rap movies are hopeless. Hope we don't have to watch those again.

Steven Seagal has made several crappy movies in the past years, but with this movie, he makes his ultimate come back. All the fight scenes are done by himself and the story of the movie is better than a common Seagal movie.

The acting work of every actor in this movie is pretty decent and sometimes even great! That's not what you would expect of a common Seagal film.

If you liked the movies: Driven to Kill (a.k.a. Ruslan), Urban Justice and Pistol Whipped, you should certainly give this movie a try.

9 out of 10 stars.
