First of all. We ALL know Seagal is putting out movies like there is a movie store atm behind him. But still, if you give this movie a shot, and think about it, its actually not that bad! Seagal is looking good for his age, he had his special "Seagal" charm and attitude. Staying all calm. Bjt this movie delivers some fun jokes and lines from time to time. His cameo, an old cop does a great job as supporting actor. The main villain, oh man he is PERFECT for the role! He doesnt over act in any way, he had his special character going, the settings are all bright and nice, making you wanna be there. The movie does capture the beauty of Paris. The special effects are NOT bad as for in example "Code of Honor". No computer animated crap, real explosions, great blood effects and also the way the movie is shot gombined with the music, makes it work fine. The female lead is OK. She aint bad, but she aint particulary good actress either. But she works as a sneaky damn character ripping people off. The thing that made me want to see more and actually get interested, was the scene where rhe main bad guy suddenly slit a guys throat like a complete psychopath. I didnt really expect it so it caught me off guard. Good entrance for him! Also i loved the ending scene, especially the knife fight. I mean COME ON! We just got a flashback to the good old knifewielding scene of Under Siege 1 when Casey Ryback met Tommy Lee Jones in a knife fight. THANKS! The movie overall could have had more tempo and aldo the last scene where all characters were presented with the actors names, if I was in charge I would freeze the pictures on the characters, making it a "drawing" and place the name besides it. It would look better, be odd and add a more "special touch" to the whole movie experience. Mr Seagal, good job overall! I liked it and it didnt dissapoint me as perhaps Code Of Honor and Flight Of Fury and others did. I give it a 7/10. / Sonichund

END OF A GUN is another cookie cutter DTV thriller for ageing action star Steven Seagal, doubled in his fight scenes and with his orange-tinted glasses and dyed black goatee beard glued to his face as usual. This one teams the star with his go-to director Keoni Waxman for a cheaper-than-ever story that begins with Seagal rescuing a beautiful young woman from the clutches of an abuser and ends with the usual shoot-out in a warehouse. In between you get the typical abruptly-edited fight scenes, unbelievable flirting and romance between Seagal and his 20 year old beautiful love interest, and stock bad guys.

Seagal made some pretty good movies back in the day, but now he seems out of his element and past his prime. It reminds me of John Wayne playing Attila the Hun, no matter what he played he was always John Wayne. Seagal's style of "speak softly and carry a big stick" works in some venues but it has become his trademark and it's getting old. His constant whispering of dialogue seems so out of place with the gangsta slang he uses. He mumbles his words without any emotion whatsoever. I just don't believe the types of characters he portrays would be so soft spoken and philosophical. He really needs to find a script that is written just for him and his style of acting. The action, when available, are his typical Aikido moves. The script is sort of a rehash and compilation of other similar action movies. Nothing new or striking. It's a movie you could turn off halfway through and forget about.

It's been nearly 30 years since Seagal made his debut in Above the Law and it's starting to show - Steven's now at the ripe old age of 64. Retirement age, and ironically enough in his latest DTV movie End of a Gun he plays a retired DEA agent - perhaps he's finally accepting his old age?Anyway, if you're looking at this you should probably know what to expect by Seagal's DTV movies by now. And this movie does exactly that - Seagal wanders himself into trouble with some dangerous criminals, taking no prisoners as he mumbles his way through his lines and flies his fists around to give the bad guys a beating.Once again, this is another Seagal movie set in Europe, with Paris the setting this time. He seems to have a bit of an obsession with it, although there is noticeably less focus on ogling the local women than there is in his other intercontinental efforts.The main highlight for me was probably the performance of Jade Ewen - she gave a solid performance in her role as the sneaky but sexy accomplice of Seagal. She's most famous in Britain as the Eurovision entry a number of years ago and a brief spell with the Sugababes...money must be really tight if she's having to flirt with a pension-age Steven Seagal on screen.Other than that, it's what you've come to expect. The villain is pretty forgettable and generic (and there's another "villain" who the makers seem to forget about by the end of the film?). A couple of bits where Seagal is dubbed, but it's very minor. Keoni Waxman directs, making this his umpteenth collaboration with Seagal - but his projects with Seagal are usually pretty passable DTV efforts, and the trend doesn't change here. The running time is a fairly slim 86 minutes, which I prefer for these kinds of films - all killer, no filler. Make the rides brief and enjoyable.Seagal has made plenty of poor DTV movies but this isn't one of them - it's one of his better efforts in recent time. Check it out if you're a fan.
