this movie has some of the best action I've seen in a steven seagal movie since 'exit wounds', and seagal is truly on bad ass form, the story is surprisingly complex and some some good twists and turns, and the action is brutal, and big, there are some really good war scenes in this, and some of the best fight scenes seagal has done since 'fire down below', the cast is also solid in this, seagal hasent been this good in a movie for a while so it was good to see that he still had it, and the fight scene in the bathroom is long, brutal and 100 percent seagal, i enjoyed this movie, and i think seagal fans are gonna too, because this is the movie they've beeen waiting for, i recommend

I was confused when I ran across this on the hotel TV (with no guide screen on the cable). Steven was looking a little older, so it had to be recent, but the cars belonging to these allegedly super-rich villains were all 10-20 years old, so what the heck was it? This came out in 2006? No way. Big budget there -- just scan the local classifieds for $2500 cars. Even TV shows don't stoop that low.I guess that doesn't have much to do with the movie, except this level of quality and attention to detail carries over to the script, acting, everything. You notice things like this when there are no interesting characters to follow, no coherent plot, and the dialog hurts your ears.There is nothing of merit in this movie. Seagal should cut his losses and go do commercials -- they would offer him more dignity. I hope they let him keep one of those 1988 Benzes.

Steven Seagal might be getting old and he also might not have the same shape he had 20 years ago but he certainly still can make a movie great just by being in it.Actually, this movie itself is pretty good. A lot of money has been spent on making it realistic and entertaining. Reminds you of the good old days when Van Damme and Seagal were backed by big budgets.Mercenary for Justice is a colorful film filled with explosive action scenes, great dialogues and one-liners, fight scenes in which Seagal actually takes part. It had been a while since I really saw him perform anything close to his Aikido moves. The balance between realism and utter irrealism is just perfect.You got to remind yourself that action movies are a genre in themselves. Lots of folks try to bring them down for various reasons...they just don't get the point. Just like romantic comedies and politic thrillers all follow some basic rules, action movies are also lead by a set of pre-requisites that you just expect to be there. Villains you can hate, a hero you can love, a beautiful girl, guns roaring...The production is good. Direction sometimes reminded me of "24 esquire" hand held camera. Little part of scenes are sometime fast-forwarded to get a feeling of speed. Well... this still is a direct to video release, I guess they have to include some cheesy stuff.The only downside to this picture is the story. It's pretty hard to follow but it does keep the characters on the move.

i have just seen this movie and i and have to talk to Steven about this , Steven this is the worst action movie i have ever seen. What happen to you ? you look like Marlon Brando and the plot what happen to the plot i just saw a lot of people shooting and cars driving fast though the city. Come one man you can do better than this ,i used to like your movies until now that is . And was the point of kidnapping the fr ens ambassador and his family whit servants be cores they wasn't mention until late in the movie did they survived or what ? and the bad guys whats the deal about them did they work together or against each other,and the Greek minister ??? the bankdirektor arrested the F.B.I man can he do that ? i could go on forever whit this see it for a god laugh
