Cast Member: Steven Seagal

A painfully generic kidnap/rescue flick with nothing in the plot or script to rise above most other straight to video fare.

It’s still a poor attempt at a revenge flick that is sorely lacking in action and regularly feels like a chore to sit through.

There’s very little action on offer and Seagal is just a secondary character in a movie in which his name and face are plastered all over the packaging.

‘Contract to Kill’ earns an extra half star for the editor’s efforts but the film as a whole is clearly far too broken to ever be fixed.

It’s hard to imagine anyone enjoying ‘General Commander’ as it’s such a sorry excuse for an action movie with no real positives to offer.

‘Half Past Dead’ is another poor addition to the rap fu genre and is less entertaining than both ‘Exit Wounds’ and ‘Romeo Must Die’, whose audience this clearly aims itself at.

Despite a few hints of quality from the action/stunt team, the film is a shambolically constructed mess that is rarely fun to watch.

‘The Asian Connection’ is easily one of Seagal’s worst outings to date, as well as being one of the poorest films I’ve seen in some time.
