Destroyer Wod Like most people i looked for this movie because of Seagal... But i am interest in any martial art movie anyway. I knew that Seagal only had a little more than a cameo... but the problem is, this role dosen't fit him at all. He is not the type of guy to put into a cage match in a movie. His martial art style dosen't fit at all for that. And the shot from far away, mixed with close shot where you don't even see Seagal made a very poor last fight. You need to put the kind of guy like Michael Jay White or Van Damme for these. When i watch a movie with Seagal, i know he is gonna beat 5 guys at the same type, not being touch once and making joke doing it and thats what i love, stunt double or not... BUT for this role... nah...Then for the rest of the movie, it tried to be super emotional but i had a lot of trouble getting into it, the main character role seem a bit weird. He is some kind of super right cops then he work for them... money owned or not, i don't know, it felt weird... There is a couple fight scene at the beginning, then its all drama.... which is not bad usually, but not that style... more easy going and more action between. I dunno, i felt this movie first wanted to be an action movie, then a drama, then back to action... Anyway... not bad, but thats it. Im glad i saw it, i doubt i will ever watch it again... Seagal or not.

Carsten Pedersen I really like Steven Seagal, but this is a really crap movie. Japanese actors in soap opera, is the nearest description that comes in mind.The sound is like an early 80's movie. And Seagal is not really acting at all.If you understand Japanese, maybe you'd get more out of this movie. But the sub-translation is really the worst of the worst.Don't get me wrong, the story is quite OK, but at least they could spend money on a translator who speaks just a little English.Only one star from me on this one!Sorry Seagal... You can do better than that

dbborroughs Let's start with a warning: If you're looking to see this for Steven Seagal then rent it or borrow it do not buy it because you will be majorly disappointed. Seagal is on screen for maybe ten minutes if you include all of the shots of him on TV monitors. If you don't count the monitors its a couple of minutes less, and its a not very good fight scene.The real star of the movie is Dong-jun Lee who is a karate champion who lost in a rigged match (which I think was against Seagal). The match occurred as his wife/girlfriend went into labor and gave birth to their daughter. The wife/girlfriend dies on the delivery table and the girl was put into an orphanage from which Lee retrieves her. Years pass and Lee becomes a cop. After he breaks heads while making a bust he is forced to retire from the force and turns to cage fighting to pay off his debts to the people who's heads he broke. He's such a good fighter (yea right) that the mob wants him to fight the world champion Steven Seagal. However in between all of that is a great deal of soap opera as the mother is found not to be dead and wants to get her little girl back (or some such nonsense).Its awful.In between hitting the fast forward to get to something interesting and watching badly acted scenes at normal speed I sat there slack jawed at just how incredibly stupid this movie is. What kind of movie is it? Comedy? Family Drama? Its not really an action film. What is Seagal doing in this movie? If he did it for a paycheck he got all of the money. My guess is that this was suppose to be a family drama of some sort and somehow Seagal got roped in to doing a days shooting. The producers were happy because they now had a film that they could market as a Steven Seagal flick. Since there is no real release outside of Asia my guess is that anyone looking to release this saw it for what it was and dropped it. You will not be seeing this any time soon playing on American TV (or any other TV for that matter.)Avoid this one. Its just not worth it. Yes, it has a few good moments, hence a 2 out of 10 rating, but its just a mess of a movie thats not even good enough to make fun of.(NB:If you must see Seagals scenes fast forward to one hour and twenty three minutes in)

EdgeofEpic I have been a lifelong Steven Seagal fan. Whenever a new direct-to-DVD Seagal movie comes out, I have my girlfriend pick it up at Blockbuster and send to to me in prison. Typically, these are the 3 or 4 best days of each year for me.Where should I start? As you may have read already, Seagal makes a bold career transition, on par with Robin Wiliams giving up on Mork to go Dead Poet, or like Cruise dumping Ethan Hunt for his bad-guy role in Collateral. Seagal unveils his dark side as he plays Jack Miller, the undefeated fighting champion in this South Korean movie. But there is so much more, there is drama, a rekindled romance, action-packed fight sequences, bad subtitles, bad sunglasses, and a throw-down annoying kid who says "Momma" non-stop for the last 15 minutes of this film.I am undeserving of bearing witness to the genius that we know as Steven Seagal. I had this movie for 3 nights and me and all the fellas from the license plate shop watched this all three nights. What a pleasant way to top off an evening after our institutional evening meal has been served.Seagal's character is not prominent in the film until the conclusion. If you are on your deathbed and need to finish this quickly, fast forward to 1hr 20min and you'll have your payday. For the rest of us that have the time to watch the story unravel, grab your partner and set aside 1 hr and 40 minutes to be entertained in a way that Rob Schneider could only accomplish if he made a movie of himself swimming with hungry great white sharks.Seagal is the genius of our generation. The night after I first watched this I logged onto MENSA.org and made a $25 donation in Steven's name. After watching a movie with the pedigree of "Clementine", I felt obligated to give something back (even if it meant I was donating $$ from somebody else's account).SPOILER ALERT: For the first time I can recall, Seagal owns a WWE-style World Championship Belt in this film. It was probably designed for a smallish South Korean. Incidentally, Seagal is billed by the movie ring announcer as 6'4" and 225 pounds. I guess he's back on the Grapefruit Diet.
