They usually involve Seagal on set for maybe three days with half his dialogue ADR by him or worse, a Seagal impersonator when he can't even give that minimal effort. <br /><br />The plots are stupid, generic and somehow horribly over-complicated so that it takes an hour to resolve all of the loose plot threads that are dull, don't make any sense and more importantly don't involve Seagal breaking limbs. <br /><br />I was lucky enough to be around for the Seagal heyday, but even his best movies are more of a promise of good movies to come and not actually good in and of themselves. Seagal always makes the same movie, never takes any risks, doesn't care about quality control in his films so even the fighting is terrible. And he has no sense of humor and takes himself. As an example, he never signed on for an Expendables film. <br /><br />Compare him to Van Damme, who has good and terrible movies too, but he has a sense of humor, usually has good action sequences, even in the DTV movies and takes creative risks.

Wow, that´s 20 years ago.<br />I always liked his unique kind of elegant fighting, but never felt compelled to watch any of his direct-to-video or VOD movies.<br />Sad to see where his career went.<br />Same goes for his co-star Craig Sheffer, who started with interesting roles in Fire with fire, A river runs through it, Fire in the sky and especially Nightbreed and then went down.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13035940865143847684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-24322312008823171402016-05-17T18:25:34.068-05:002016-05-17T18:25:34.068-05:00I saw Above The Law, Hard To Kill, Marked For Deat...I saw Above The Law, Hard To Kill, Marked For Death, Out For Justice, Under Siege, and On Deadly Ground theatrically. I still feel pretty blessed about that (even including On Deadly Ground, because there's some great moments in that).<br /><br />He was my favorite American martial arts star for a good while. One of my Top 5 action stars period. That time is long past. I still take out the Golden Era flicks and enjoy them to remember what that was like, and it's enough.<br /><br />The last movie he did that I got any enjoyment out of was Urban Justice and that is mostly terrible. I haven't watched anything he's made in years now.AJ Mullerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987730338809078456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-40331553233707232662016-05-17T17:05:22.918-05:002016-05-17T17:05:22.918-05:00I too live near one of the theaters you describe; ...I too live near one of the theaters you describe; it's how I got to see Wolves and Standoff on the big screen. They were showing Code of Honor last week, but I watched the trailer and decided to skip it. Sounds like I made the right call.<br /><br />BTW, props for mentioning probably Seagal's two best DTV films. I also kind of liked Driven to Kill, and though I agree with you about Keoni Waxman, The Keeper wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen.

It is truly mind-blowing thinking back to the days when Seagal could open a movie (just looked it up, Under Siege was #1 at the box office for 4 straight weeks!). But I miss those days. The only Seagal I was lucky enough to see in theaters was Under Siege 2 and it was a blast.Matt Sollenbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02088555561067804979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217427319662074458.post-76097253766272444962016-05-17T12:48:47.789-05:002016-05-17T12:48:47.789-05:00I was lucky that I got to see Under Siege 2 and Th...I was lucky that I got to see Under Siege 2 and The Glimmer Man in theaters, because it made me feel like at least I got to see Seagal adjacent to his prime on the big screen. I'm yet to watch any post-goatee Seagal, and so far I don't imagine I'm missing very much.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17867827164062216789noreply@blogger.com
