I am generally a positive person.
And I know this will piss off the Seagal purists.
But at least I own my opinion.
I should start by saying this in is in "NO WAY" a retalliation for those infamous hateful interviews Mr. Steven Seagal gave concerning fellow action stars, especially Jean Claude Van Damme.
I just find a majority (Maybe all) of Mr. Seagals movies very two dimensional, unexciting and unbelievable.
And yes, that would be the bad version of unbelievable.
Mr. Seagal just doesn't know how to act.
My interpretation to make a decent movie... to have your audience believe in you, your charcter has to have some depth.
Would I be wrong in suggesting Mr. Seagal's whispering tough guy may know how to kick some Aikido ass but simply fails to deliver on the silver screen.
I don't care if he turns up on my doorstep tomorrow waving his slappy hands around.
I wont be sitting through another epic length tirade of raspy monotones.
I really don't think he's delivered since Nico, Above the law.
And I will say happily, "I enjoyed that movie".
Character vs. Character...
Eg. Seagal vs Van Damme...
At least Van Damme has some semblance of afore mentioned character depth.
I mean, all being said, these flicks are all about kicking ass, right?
And if there was any other slight on Mr. Seagals version of talent, "doesn't EVERY action star who is worth anything cinematically end up in an Expendables film"?
And after three of those extremely enjoyable kickass pictures, I don't recall seeing his name in any of the credits.
Oh yeah, So this is meant to be about this movie specifically, yes?
You saw the last one didn't you?
Again, if he's knocking on my door tomorrow, I feel safe as I have a "no salesman" sticker on it
REMEMBER, this is my opinion!
I wont be chasing down Mr. Seagals autograph anytime soon.
