Soldier Of Vengeance

There used to be a time when Steven Seagal were one of the biggest action stars. In the beginning of the 90´s he had some big box office hits. But times have changed. Now he is much older, who looks like a marshmallow man, who can barely jump anymore. And for every year we get a new action movie, released on dvd. Of all releases in the past 6 years, there have been at least 1 movie that was ok. Seagal have been on the tv series True Justice lately, and this movie is supposed to be based on 2 episodes from the tv series. So, is this a surprise, or the same old business ?

Elijah Kane ( Steven Seagal ) leaves his special undercover police force, to go back as a Special Forces operative. Kane is once again recruited by the goverment, to work for them as a long range sniper specialist. Armed, and furious, he is ready to bring justice where it belongs.

I don´t know if you heard Steven Seagals 2 pop albums, but i bet he is a better musician than an actor. In fact, when Seagal gets screen time, you wonder if he will ever change. He wants too look cool, and try and make special moves, but with no results. Is there action ? Yes, but the action scenes are made of a budget, about the size of Donald Trump´s hairpiece. The story ? Is there actually a story ? Not really, this is very simple action made for mommy boys, still living at home at the age of 39. Seagal will make movies like this for at least 22 years more, so if you love his cheesy moves, then this might give you an orgasm. For the rest of us, i suggest we watch The Expendables instead, and enjoy some real action, just the way it was meant to be.
