Former police officer Matt Conlin (Steven Seagal) hits rock bottom. His drinking is out of control, and he has huge gambling debts. Just as Matt is about to give up all hope, an enigmatic old man (Lance Henriksen) approaches him with a proposition.

With these kinds of titles, his projects are becoming increasingly indistinguishable.

...undeniably does continue the upward trend of Steven Seagal's career trajectory as of late...

Worst script I've ever seen, acting is really bad as well, i barely watched it through

I have always enjoyed Steven Seagal's films but this was awful. Please - don't waste your time watching it. Sorry

Let's face it...Steven Segal is a man that will not go silently into that good night! You do him wrong and you try to get close to him he will bring you down! In this escapade, He cannot be bought, and he will go all out to reclaim what was taken from him unjustly...his good name. This is Mr. Segal in one of his finest form! See this!

Above average high octane action with action hero Steven Seagal. His early movies are better than this. On the plus side, they don't even bother hiding that face that Seagal has become old and fat. However, he doesn't take himself too serious, by playing a down-on-his-luck drunk. The film itself is alright. The final half hour of the film offers two yawn-provokingly boring scenes of epic gun play. The cutting is too reckless, and the slow-motion (when used) is used badly.
