| The National (UAE)Kaleem AftabThere is something unarguably beguiling and heartwarming about the refusal of Seagal movies to bow to the sands of time and their adherence to formula, but unfortunately it's not enough to carry 90 long minutes. |

| User ReviewYoru HThis movie has it good bits but not to many of them while the story is lacking the fighting scenes are still good. I don't care what anyone says Steven Seagal can still kick butt and take names. |
| User ReviewTimothy NIf you, know Me = Uncle, WATCH This!.. Otherwise, don't!.. Has to BE Uncle Tim, yeah!.. Groovy!.. |
| User ReviewTyler ROne of the beat action movies I've seen in a while. Seagal is at his best in this one it was very gritty and violent and for once his movie actually had a very good plot and characters. |
| User ReviewRichard RClassic action movie story well done and with a good rhythm. The chief russian guy casting is great. Enjoyed it |
| User ReviewVan RPaunchy martial arts action star Steven Seagal finds himself trapped in a hornet's nest of murder and mayhem in the above-average contemporary crime thriller "A Dangerous Man." "Sweepers" director Keoni Waxman keeps the action lively in this fast-paced, profane, bullet opera with a high body count as rival Chinese drug smugglers, trigger-happy Russian mobsters, and corrupt cops lock horns with automatic weapons in the great Northwest. Caught in the middle is a poor Asian girl who wants to rescue her uncle from the Chinese gangsters. The uncle knows everything about the Golden Triangle drug trade in Southeast Asian and some Asians want him dead. Meanwhile, the girl escapes with a bag of Chinese drug money that contains a transponder, like the one in the Cohen brothers' classic "No Country for Old Men." Seagal plays Shane Daniels, a 14-year veteran Special Forces soldier who knows how to terminate people with extreme prejudice. One night an assailant attacks his wife in their car as Shane is coming to meet her. Shane kicks the stuffing out of the carjacker. Later, the authorities discover the carjacker's corpse and convict Shane for the assailant's murder. Shane spends six years behind bars until he is acquitted of the crime based on DNA evidence. The court plans to award Shane the sum of $300-thousand, but Shane wants his life back more than the money. When he walks out of the courtroom, he looks like he is metaphorically toting a giant tree on his shoulder. No sooner does he go back out in public than he roughs up a couple of car thieves trying to sell him a 'hot' ride. The fights are brutal and accelerated for spice. Incidentally, "A Dangerous Man" amounts to a homage to the classic Alan Ladd western "Shane," particularly in the final confrontation. Not only does Waxman keep things turning over, but he creates compelling characters. The Russian mafia chieftain stands out in the crowd of equally ruthless gunmen who have no qualms about shooting first and posing questions afterward. When the corrupt cops try to question him, the Russian mob boss points that the police can do nothing to him. American prisons feel like paradise to him, and he used to sodomize the Russian police on a regular basis--he claims--when he couldn't rape livestock. Inevitably, as in all Seagal shoot'em ups, the proud, egotistical villains appear front and center to devastate our hero. Here there is a Dadu warrior, an invincible combatant who cannot be defeated until he is forced to eat humble pie, Seagal style. "A Dangerous Man" ranks one of the Seagal's best straight-to-video releases and rivals some of his lesser theatrical efforts. If you are a Seagal fan, this would be a good one to get in Blu-Ray. |
| User ReviewJohn WAt long last Seagal is almost back to his best. With the recent conveyor belt cookie cutter plot direct to DVD films he has been churning out. This one actually looks like he has made an effort. It's so nice to see him doing his own fight scenes again. And the action scenes are top notch. Brutal fist fights and Amazing gun play. Chinese, Russians and Americans all kicking each other's asses. Okay the plot is poor, but this is no brainer action thriller after all. So you don't really need to worry about it. I would say the only thing that lets this film down is the dubbing. Why in all of Seagals films lately is there the need to have his voice dubbed? At least they have made somewhat of an effort to make it sound like Seagal's voice. Not like the appalling effort that was made in attack force. The Supporting actors all perform above par for this sort of film. True Seagal fans are going to love this. |
| User ReviewRaju SA great movie for action buffs. Steven Seagal is at it again. |
