Seagal stopped trying after Exit WoundsIt looks as though all it takes to get him to sign on for one of these straight to DVD disasters is a decent budget for a buffet where he can contribute to his ever expanding waistline The money spent on catering for this mess obviously detracted from his wig budget, as his frizzy mullet is sadly neglected. Half his lines are clearly and poorly dubbed, and the lines he did deliver are breathless from the effort required to keep himself from falling overThe most amusing aspect of Seagal is the flattering and svelte pictures of him that grace the DVD covers

This was an average movie made WORSE by post production editing. I stayed up late to watch this but I should have gone to bed !! The "voice" double had the effect of distracting me from some of the other mistakes seen by other reviewers. Like the Stone angel waving in the breeze and the wound on the last baddie changing direction. Sorry Steven must do better. But I do accept that whoever decided to post produce this is mainly to blame. I thought the action was lack lustre as it was mainly gun play. I preferred the earlier films that showed Steven's Akido skills. I would suggest that Steven makes sure that there is provision in his future contracts to veto this type of post production hatchet job. The post production team deserve to be censured for this awful effort. They took a bad film and made it worse.

What a damned shame! Seagal used to be dan 7 level aikido master, but you couldn't tell if he'd ever stepped inside a dojo in his life by viewing this piece of garbage. Truly, the most interesting thing about this film is trying to guess if the actor doing the voice over for Seagal might be someone famous. It sounded a bit like Bill Pullman to me, but I can't believe that Pullman would ever stoop so low as to take such a gig, and in such a dreadful piece of dreck as this. Then again, there's Michael Caine's career - with wonderful performances interspersed with the tragic and awful - so anything is possible. The best part of the film would be if you never bothered watching it. Seriously, if you want the effect of watching "Attack Force," but can't afford a radical lobotomy, just pummel yourself in the skull with a hammer for four to five minutes. Your IQ will drop 20 points either way, but the hammering wastes an hour-and-a-half less of your life.

As with all of you writing here, I'm in dismay at what I've just seen. I have worked in television for a long time, and now teach on a Media course. As such I am well used to the many cheats we have to do to improve any project, be it in adding SFX (sound effects) ADR (additional dialogue recording) or Gating (taking out unwanted sound (wind noise, traffic etc) during pauses while no-one is speaking. In fact I even tell my students that television (and film for that matter) is all about cheating: Making people believe the unbelievable.BUT this has to be the worst example of my trade I have ever witnessed. As someone already mentioned previously, I too replayed the beginning several times, because I figured that there must have been some problem with my recording. The lip sync and dubbing (not the same as straightforward ADR) was diabolical to the point of comical. And it doesn't seem to get much better throughout the whole movie. Surely even the guys responsible must have thought at the time, that this was a bad joke to play on their potential audience! The same thing also occurs with the lovely agent Tia too. Especially when she is on the phone to her baddie boss. It's as though she must have thought that her lines were just so crap that she got someone else to say them for her! Truly dreadful on every level.Oh dear, oh dear.John Walsh, TV Studio Manager, Media Arts Department, Royal Holloway University
