Pretty Good Flick

I think if you like bloody movie's this is one you'll love, lots of violence and some well rounded acting for those who know what to expect from a Steven Seagal film, so be prepared for some violence & some kicking (not as high as he used to kick), all & all i liked the movie, wasn't sure if i would but it held my attention and also had some surprises as you'll see, i don't wanna spoil this flick BY telling you too much, so get your popcorn & be ready to see an older fatter Steven Seagal movie that is about a man who seeks revenge for the murder of his son. It's worth seeing if your a fan of this type of movie, Karate, Gun, Fighting, Killing,Gangs, Cops (LAPD) and a 1 man army and a surprise or 2 alone the way for you, sort of suspenseful movie that should keep you watching as it did me. I'll say if you like Steven Seagal then you ought to really like this movie, maybe not his best but very good, and pretty well written & edited and nice camera work. A very well made movie as i said and I hope you'll enjoy it from what I've told you without any spoilers, I seldom write Spoiler. But you do know what kinds of movie Seagal does so this is totally a Steven Seagal that will also keep you interested in the plot with a nicely written script and I had to give It and "R" for it Violence & Language but also a "7" for the edited movie, plot, story & acting, editing, script & camera work & supporting actors (supporting rolls) like Eddie Griffin who helped hold this movie together.
