This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
Dark Jedi
There was nothing of much interest on TV a couple of nights ago so I stumbled onto this one. I used to like Steven Seagal when he still made "real" movies so I thought, what the heck, let's watch it. I cannot say that my hopes were high though. After he started to spew out direct to DVD movies he have made some real crap ones.I have to say that I was somewhat positively surprised. Sure it is not exactly Oscars material but it is a decent enough TV-movie and Seagal was pretty okay in playing the fairly silent but deadly ex-commando, or in this case ex-cop, that I personally want to see him as. Some people complain that he doesn't care and that he mumbles his dialog. I cannot say that I agree. He played his role as I would have expected. His silent manner, low voice and absence of emotions and outbreaks is what I hope for when I watch a Seagal movie. Also, the fighting in this movie was fairly okay compared to some of his movies where he seemed to be so out of shape that he just stood around and flapped his arms.The story? Well pretty standard meh TV-quality bad guy tries to muscle in and extort the good guy. Good guy has daughter. Good guy's daughter gets kidnapped. The hero moves in and saves the day. Nothing really innovative and fantastic but good enough to serve as an excuse for some on-screen action and reasonably well implemented.Not really a bad movie. Of course not really anything more than you would expect from a direct to DVD movie but not bad either and, as I said, way better than some of the crap Seagal have produced.

steven seagal returns in this action thriller about an ex cop turned bodygaurd, and it delivers some brilliant and brutal fight scenes, a couple of cool car chases, and some very sexy women, what more could you want from an action movie, sure it isn't 'transporter' or 'fast and the furious', its an old school action flick, with an old school actor, it delivers everything you could want from a steven seagal movie, and the cast this time around seem to do an actual good job, and the movie has a nice big budget look about it, as he proved in 'renegade justice' 'pistol whipped' and 'driven to kill', seagal is well and truly back on form, i recommend this as a cracking action flick

So me and my friends have routinely laughed our heads off at the badly awesome collection of Seagal "not quite" classics. The Keeper still has some of those same laugh out loud scenes. But this movie's biggest problem is that it is marginally better than his other straight-to-home movies, but is still a lot worse than movies I enjoyed for their actual appeal. I prefer my Seagal movies to be either better than okay (Under Siege) or laughably terrible, yet entertaining (Killswitch). This movie falls in between to simply bad. One note that has been confirmed by IMDb.com and other reviewers: it was exceptionally odd that his last name suddenly gets switched from Sallinger to Ballinger. I did get a great amount of laughter from that. Also, how he stealthily manages to steal a compact handgun from a woman's purse in the hospital, even though the nurse in the room declared him to be very unconscious to take out someone coming to kill him. Made me have to pause the movie to laugh.

Were you expecting Casablanca? I have read people saying it's preposterous to compare this movie to Man on Fire, but since the plot lines are very similar... bodyguard getting his charge back from kidnappers... I don't think it's too far of a stretch. If anyone is looking for a movie to watch that does not require a lot of thought and you are willing to suspend reality for a couple of hours, this movie is for you... if you are looking for the next The Godfather or Schindler's List... this movie is not what you are looking for. I think some people take themselves WAY too seriously on here... Just for the record, Seagal may be getting on in years, but his movies are still fun and entertaining.
