Seized

The good: what every action movie fan craves for: lots of non stop killing and fighting and actor Scott Adkins delivers just that.

The "story": Scott Adkins' kid is kidnapped and now he is pressured by crime boss Mario van Peebles to liquidate all of his enemies. And so it goes...

Any bad? Well, it is still a B-movie, so dont expect Oscar winning dialogues or photography, these kind of movies serve only 1 purpose: non stop action. As much as possible that can fit into 90 minutes.

No jokes this time around. No problem with that. The action isnt superb, because there aint a lot of original action stunts, but it'll do just fine.

A very average Scott Adkins movie. I expected much more from Isaac Florentine given his past successes but given the obvious lack of money here and the shooting speed I guess this was the best we could do. To be fair, the action sequences are pretty decent when portrayed as JOHN WICK-style shoot-outs, although the hand to hand combat at the climax is spoilt by the annoying intercutting between fights that Hollywood always insists on. Adkins is fun and Mario Van Peebles full of charisma, but the rest is merely B-movie average grade.

I pretty much know what to expect with most Scott Adkins movies, and this was exactly that. Decent actions sequences, cliche plot.

Mario van Peebles was fun to see, and he really chewed up the scenery in a pleasant way.

This movie exists, and it can kill some time, but it's neither memorable nor something that has to be seen.

It was a very solid and fun action movie. The plot was generic but I enjoyed the Mexico setting and the storyline surrounding the cartels. The main villain was very good and I liked his motivations. The lead was also good and Scott Atkins typically makes decent movies. There was some great action scenes and the choreography was very well done and was very gritty and violent. Lots of fun and very fast paced.

Nothing we haven't seen before in a typical Adkins action flick. Mario Van Peebles was a refreshing up-tone to an otherwise bland story. Aside from the two leads, all other cast seemed like amateur actors. Action scenes were decent, directing was good, and cinematography was on point. If you're an Adkins fan as I am, you'll get through it with some sort of enjoyment. It's a 6/10 from me.
