Audience Reviews for Hard to Kill

  • Dec 28, 2015
    Hard To Watch. There are bits that will amuse and make you laugh, but there's too much that's genuinely awful. It's bizarre how many consider this his best. The fights are poorly shot and choreographed, the thread-bare story doesn't even attempt to explain its gaping holes, the characters are comically one-dimensional, and you'd swear some of the dialogue was written to be intentionally woeful. It's almost as though the guys who made this are daring the fans to like it. Probably the worst Seagal outing ever.

    Hard to Kill is a Steven Seagal vehicle that is a product of the hard action hero era of film-making. The film is not bad considering the amount of Seagal vehicles that he pumps out on VOD. The films idea was interesting for the first half but it gradually slips into tiresome over the duration of the film. Seagal is likable and I was a fan of his films growing up. The issue I had with the film is the cliche model of action films of this era when the budget was on the lower end. The film leads to an unforgettable finale after all the wrist snapping fun. Revisiting this film reminds me that not all my films growing up were as great as I remembered but I didn't believe Hard to Kill was the greatest action film ever made. Good for fans of the genre but it doesn't offer anything new or special for new fanboys. 20/07/2020

    "You can take that to the bank" Steven Seagal plays Mason Storm, a police officer who after a 7 year coma returns for revenge against the mobsters who killed his wife and put him in the coma. The fight scenes were great and it is nice to see Seagal in fights where his movies are fully visible and are fluent. The movie provides fast and furious nonstop action and it's a must see for all the Seagal fans.
