You already know if you'll like this movie or not, unless in the case that you haven't seen a Seagal movie. I'm still waiting for the day when technology will have advanced far enough to enable Seagal to smile or even laugh with the help of CGI. has the slow-bullet effect been exhausted yet? Has anyone NOT used this in a movie? It's only used once or twice in Belly of the Beast, but it's played out to a ridiculous point.
All of the usual elements are there: bad acting/dialog, distracting music, and annoying editing. Honestly, if you played this film alongside The Foreigner and Out For a Kill, you'd have one hell of a time telling them apart. The movie is virtually indistinguishable from others he's released in the last few years. What can I do, complain that Ticker just wasn't on the same level as Jaws? Anyway, if you've seen pretty much any other direct-to-video Seagal venture lately, you know exactly what this one is all about- a distant and emotionless man with a shady history must take the law into his own hands and rescue/avenge his wife/daughter/Neopet. In a sense, Seagal movies are very nearly critic-proof. They're such an acquired taste that to compare them to movies with other actors is almost pointless. They cannot be judged against any other films in existence. Steven Seagal movies exist in a pop culture vacuum.
