Yes....there. I said it. And I DONT regret it. For SO long I lost hope, i got so tired of being dissapointed time after time after time.
But this is without doubt the best movie Steven Seagal has done in at LEAST 10 years. Hes back for real.
I will divide it up for you:
1) Music. Great, asian feeling, mysterious feel, very very Kung Fu. Bonus in the credits for you all.
2) Environment. Beautiful settings of Thailand, rainforests, small asian towns, backgrounds, asian style houses and interiors.
3) Message. Yes, Seagal used to want to deliver a message in his glory days movies. Something that got lost on the way of later movies. Well....message recieved Sensei!
4) Acting. Yes, he actually DOES ACT in this movie. He is caring, sad, laughs, calm, serious. Why? Because for the first time in years he finally gets to do a movie he cares about. So will the fans.
5) Martial arts. Oh yeah.......havnt seen this great martial arts in Seagals movies since Belly of the beast and Into the sun. I love it. Kung Fu, Aikido, Wing chun, Thaiboxing. Its all there, packed into a glorious martial arts explosion of precision and grace.
6) Action. What is a Seagal movie without a few gunshots right? But this time its focus is more on the fist and not the gun.
7) Story. The story is simple, yet classic Seagal.
8) Wardrobe. SPOILERS! Seagal looks friggin amazing in that Kung Fu jacket combined with that hat. The beard on that, he looks like a true master.
To sum it up, im so happy. My spark had been reignited. Thank you Mr Seagal for showing us all you can still get the job done.
