Steven Seagal plays a Chicago cop who takes on CIA types inthis action thriller from Andrew Davis (The Fugitive). Davis brings muscle to the project, including some strong set pieces that make Seagal (who also co-wrote and co-produced the film) look awfully good. Costars Pam Grier and Sharon Stone give a big assist in that department, too, yet nothing can really mitigate such ridiculous moments as Seagal's getting profound with a villain in his raspy monotone: "You think you're above the law. But you're not." --Tom Keogh

Solid 80's action February 2, 2010
Mark R. Pankow (Mosinee, WI)
This was a solid action movie directed by Andrew Davis and is arguably Seagal's best movie, showcasing his Aikido ability quite effectively with a decent supporting cast.

This and the 1st. Under Seige are the Most Horrible Blu-Ray Transfers Ever August 22, 2009

Stick with the standard DVD. The Blu-Ray has much more grain on it than the standard DVD. It's a great movie, but the worst excuse for a Blu-Ray I've ever seen.
 Seagal Unfairly Criticized As Actor July 13, 2009
Craig Connell (Lockport, NY USA)
This was Steven Seagal's first movie and pretty much summed up the way his films were going to go: marital arts-crime stories with overly despicable villains and our hero saving the women by out-fighting everyone.
Jean Van Damme and others followed with the same recipe which, by and large, has been pretty successful.
Before I saw this, I had read national critics blasting Seagal's acting talents but that was unfair; he's not a bad actor. It was also a surprise to see Sharon Stone playing a nice role and without makeup! That certainly changed quickly with her Basic Instinct-type persona.
It was fun to see Henry Silva again. As a kid growing up in the '50s and '60s, I used to see Silva on television a lot. He always played a bad guy, and played the part well....as he still does.
.
Overall, a decent action flick but not one of Segal's more memorable films. He make a big upgrade with his next film, "Hard To Kill."
 Excellent Action DVD July 10, 2009
MARTY (LAWRENCE, MA United States)
Despite S. Seagal's full of himself persona, he does a great job in his action based movies. I have all of the Blu-Ray DVD's he has made so far and I watch them on a regular basis. Every time I feel like watching a kick a-- dvd. I put one of them into the player and at times, run the action scenes in Slo-Mo for effect..haha
