Beyond the Law

Seagal has been coasting on fumes for a while, but this is cheap and shoddy, even by his rapidly declining standards. He's not even the star of this revenge tale; his role - such as it is - is tangential, and his contributions to the "action" is even less than his poorly-delivered dialog. And for new achievements in cost-cutting, several of the fatal shootings are heard, but not seen. As little as they obviously spent on the script, you'd think they had a few bucks to spend on squibs, so we'd at least see some blood on the bodies. This flick deserves all the lack of revenue the budget people must have expected.

Poor filming, poor directing, poor acting, poor fight choreography, poor script, poor continuity, poor character development, poor concept. I used to be a Seagal fan, but I am finally realizing he has nothing left in the tank. Was hoping for at least a watchable and somewhat entertaining film. Unfortunately, my expectations were not met in either case.

The line from Detective Munce just about sums it up: "Gremlins... it's a f$@!ing film. Watch it, it's a classic!"

So true, a classic. Unlike this film.

Good script. Johnny is a decent/good actor. He carries the movie as far as it can go with Steven also in the film. The movie is good, until Segal comes onscreen. And after he disappears, it gets good again. They could probably cut the Segal scenes and it would be a good watch. Even DMX (RIP) is decent.

I laugh evert time Segal is onscreen, as his acting in this film is bad. Lets face it; his acting has been bad for awhile now.

Absolutely awful, Steven segal needs to stop making movies so idiots like me cant watch them.
