End of a Gun

This film is total and utter garbage. There is not a single redeeming quality. Steven Seagal used to have a charisma and a personality despite his lack of acting skill in the 80s and 90s. He made some very entertaining movies during that era. The reason I decided to watch this is because I stumbled on an article where someone has seen all 8 movies Steven has released in 2016. The fact that he released 8 movies should tell you all about the quality of them but the reviewer said this one was the best of the bunch and actually watchable. Well, if this one is the best then I dread to think what the others are like. Safe to say that I am not going to watch anymore of his "films". He looks more bored than ever, as if he has narcolepsy and will fall asleep at any moment, his aikido moves are clearly done by a stunt double because he couldn't even be bothered to do the one thing you'd expect him to get right. This is without a doubt, unquestionably the movie that I dislike the most out of over a thousand movies that I have seen. So kudos for that Steve, at least I won't forget this although I wish I could.

There was a time when Steven Seagal could set the box-office on fire & leave the action-movie fans to ripples. I was & still remain a fan of this man, despite his career having declined & his appearances strictly seen on direct-to-DVD films.

And 'End of a Gun', his 5th film in this busy year, is a mediocre film, that doesn't even improve as it progresses. Its got a fairly decent plot, but it makes almost nothing out of it.

'End of a Gun' Synopsis: A former federal agent crosses paths with a drug kingpin's enforcer after he saves a woman from danger.

Keoni Waxman's Writing & Direction disappoints. Waxman has made many movies with Seagal, but this time he stumbles. Of the cast, Seagal delivers adequately. Jade Ewen looks hot & performs ordinarily. But its Ovidiu Niculescu, who's splendid as Seagal's old friend & is easily the best thing about the film.

On the whole, 'End of a Gun' is a missed opportunity.

No more words needed.. In the early days I was a big fan of Steven Seagal. With good acting, great action flicks and of course better actors and directors. Nowadays in his new movies we see stand inns, an incredible over sized Steven Seagal and the worst acting I have ever seen in years. Not only from Mr. Seagal, but also from the entire cast. The movies are made cheaper and cheaper, with this time extreme bad makeup and also special effects (!). It's getting worse by every movie. Steven, come on ! Please get in shape, take an example to Chuck Norris, Jean Claude van Damme and Dolf Lungren, and show us what we would see from you, like in the early years!

Seagal made some pretty good movies back in the day, but now he seems out of his element and past his prime. It reminds me of John Wayne playing Attila the Hun, no matter what he played he was always John Wayne. Seagal's style of "speak softly and carry a big stick" works in some venues but it has become his trademark and it's getting old. His constant whispering of dialogue seems so out of place with the gangsta slang he uses. He mumbles his words without any emotion whatsoever. I just don't believe the types of characters he portrays would be so soft spoken and philosophical. He really needs to find a script that is written just for him and his style of acting. The action, when available, are his typical Aikido moves. The script is sort of a rehash and compilation of other similar action movies. Nothing new or striking. It's a movie you could turn off halfway through and forget about.

Aging is part of everyone, gray hair, a bit of weight gain and so on, but Steven instead of embracing it simply dies is hair black and is awful fu Manchu beard black.

This is what makes me laugh the most and keep me coming back for is movies but now i have learned i only watch the trailer.

I used to be so excited back in the days when a Siegel or Van damme movie came out because they where good movies.

But now its always the same thing, Ex special this ex special that, the guy is almost 70y old and still playing the total bad a$$ in is movie a role that he is long done for.

I can understand that everyone as to make a living, but this is ridiculous at best.

This movie is no different then the ones he been make for the last 10 15 years he is an ex military that save a women, and she cons him into stealing money from bad people, then the bad people comeback to get the money WOW what a borefest.
