A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I have to start off by saying that I knew almost nothing about Steven Seagal before I saw this show.The only fact I knew about him was that he played guitar and had released CDs, but much like his movies, I was never exposed to them.I just believed what I had heard about him on TV, that he was a fat idiot who made terrible movies.I still haven't seen any of his movies but I did watch every episode of this show.I know it's been over for years but I'm just getting to it now, deal with it.After watching this show I have nothing but respect for Seagal.While his standing in the law enforcement community may be questionable, he's a very talented man.He's an expert marksman who trains other police officers in firearms,he's also a master of Aikido and also trains people in that form of martial arts.To top it all off, he's an awesome guitarist with a great band.I learned all that from this show and I still have no interest in seeing any of his movies.I see that many of the reviews of this show are negative and I bet it's because those people saw his crappy movies.If you have the chance to see this show, watch it.You just might be surprised.

Never would I think that Steven Seagal that's right the action star with movies such as Hard To Kill and Exit Wounds and Above The Law is also a member of the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office in Lousisiana.I never thought of him being a real Lawman since a good bit of of his movies have him playing a tough cop, a FBI agent and so on.But yes it is true Steven Seagal has been a Police Officer for the city of Jefferson Parish, Lousisiana for 20 years since he has a lot of work in movies.It always funny to see how when he goes out and do his job and arrest someone. They would always have a dumb found look on their face when they see that it is Steven Seagal that has arrested them.One of my favorite ones is when a drunk heard his voice and he said You sound a lot like Steven Seagal and he said yeah I get that a lot. I thought to myself how dumb can one be to not know that it was Steven Seagal.They always find it crazy to know that it is Steven Seagal and they would say how much they enjoy his movies and even ask for his Autograph.Again just wild to think that Steven Seagal is a real officer.But he takes his job very seriously because he is passion about protecting and serving the innocent and arrest those who would do wrong.But if you are looking for a different show that is very extreme then you should give Steven Seagal Lawman a try.

First off, it's important to know these 3 stars came from the simple hilarity of the show. I have seen the first few episodes and not only was able to keep food down, but actually laughed out loud on several occasions during each show.Can anyone tell me which episode is going to show all these tubs of lard shoveling donuts and God only knows what else down their pieholes? By the looks of these guys it would take up an entire season.Also, speaking of pieholes, why is it that all these white chunky monkeys are all talking like uneducated black men? Do they think they're cool and fit in with the people? Do they actually think they're pulling it off?If you are a serious Seagal fan and/or of the show COPS, then this may entertain you. But don't expect anything real serious to happen (at least from what I've seen so far). As another reviewer already wrote, there are some absolutely ridiculous situations like 10+ cops jumping out in full gear pulling over a few kids with the remains of one joint acting like they're taking down terrorists.Hilarious!

As a long time fan of Seagal, living in a house where we quote Under Siege all the time and watch his other movies whenever they come on I felt I had to leave a honest review. If anything, hopefully Seagal will read this and make some much needed changes to the show. I loved the idea of the show, and they sure promoted it well, but the execution/editing was just plain terrible.After watching the first four episodes, all I can say is for me they were barely watchable. The police "chases" and "stops" if you can even call them that are barely believable and almost seem staged. In one of the episodes they pull up to a group of black kids just hangin out and completely racially profile them. Seagal talked like they were possibly "selling drugs" when in fact at the end of the scene the only thing they found was one of the kids had some outstanding traffic violations or something...it was completely ridiculous. Most of the other interactions with "suspects" pretty much go the same way, and in the one episode before the commercial last night they make it seem like they are about to go into a car chase and really the guy just finished the right turn he already had started and pulled right over. Turns out the guy was not drunk, or anything, but did have some warrant out for not paying child support. To top it off out of the couple stops/checks whatever these guys are doing in four episodes I think only 2 real arrests were made...but to make those arrests they had to call in the real cops to finish the job. LAME.To make it worse Seagal tries to add some Full House storybook ending to each street scene in hopes he's helping these people when really he is just embarrassing them and himself on national TV. Most of the time at the end of these scenes the people around who were not suspects are joking about it being Seagal and getting autographs (I don't think any of them actually wanted or got one though). My other gripe with the show, and some police in general, is that the whole crew he works with look like they sit around drinking beer all day and eating donuts (pun intended).I mean, if you are about to be on TV for any show, especially one like this, why not hit the gym for a few months? Sorry Ryback but you look tired man, and very out of shape. I am sure you could still hold your own in a real fight, but it is not surprising you have 2 guard dogs for your house. If you want to improve this show and give it any chance of not getting cut very soon, I say get away from the hardly believable street scenes (just watch COPs, those are what people want to see) and stick to the training/information stuff. Also cut out the music/editing that makes the flow of the show go more like a Real World episode then what you are trying to promote it as (which I thought was going to be a bada$$ cop show with Seagal kickin some teeth in once in a while).The best hopes I have for this show right now is to create some sort of drinking game out of it, but after giving it a fair chance I doubt it will last very long on TV unless they make some major changes fast. At the end of each episode so far all I could think was "what kind of babbling bull$hit is this???".
