Plots(1)
Soldier of fortune John Seeger (Steven Seagal) is the best in the business… the business of kicking ass! When you're a mercenary, there's always going to be casualties, but no job is too treacherous for Seeger, who's blackmailed into orchestrating an impossible prison break, leading a team of heavily-armed soldiers on a deadly mission to South Africa to rescue the son of a billionaire arms dealer. But, when Seeger finds out he's been double-crossed, it's payback time, and now, there's going to be hell to pay! (official distributor synopsis)

Fans of action movies can of course give it any number of stars, but I don't have the time or nerves for this. It's not a B-movie, as this spectacle belongs somewhere at the end of the alphabet....Overall impression: 5% for the pyrotechnics.

Compared to his other recent works, Seagal is quite watchable here, at least the action is fairly enjoyable. He doesn't really show much aikido, but there's a decent amount of shooting and explosions. The plot is a big confusing mess, so there won't be anything good there. It's not a direct return to his golden era, but we can talk about some improvement. The main attraction, however, is Jacqueline Lord, truly one of the most attractive (unknown) actresses I've seen in a long time. Steven at least manages to maintain his muscles and occasionally (just to mention) breaks someone's arm. But ten years ago, he could do it even without choppy editing...
