Absolutely Fantastic

Well Movie Is Not Well Edited I Understand It's B-Class Steven Seagal Is Kinda Lazy and all That, But It Doesn't Make Movie Lazy or Action It's Noting Like Slow Action or Seagal Can't Do Fight Scenes, He Actually Did His Own Fight Scenes In This Movie, Some of Movies I Can Tell He Is Lazy, Doesn't Do His Fight Scenes Like In His character seems like an off-shoot of Jonathan Cold (more 'The Foreigner' than 'Black Dawn' though) Even That Was Worser Then This Movie Believe Me. This Movie Went Very Well I Actually Enjoyed It Was Very Non Stop Action In Movie But CGI Scenes Are Not Well Made Doesn't Mean Movie Is Bad. I Would Say It's Better Then Code Of Honor. Keoni Waxman Looks Like Director really Enjoys Working for Seagal. Now Keoni Waxman Has Worked Few Projects With Steven Seagal The Keeper, Dangerous Man, True Justice TV Series, Maximum Conviction, Force of Execution, A Good Man, Mercenary: Absolution,Cartels AKA Killing Salazar, End of Gun, Now This Jeez WOW Kenoi Waxman Has A Good Relationship with Steven Seagal and they like working together, It's Funny Seagal Has Worked with Keoni Waxman A Lot More Movies Then Any another Directors he worked in past. (Steven Seagal) John Harmon Is a He Is A Retired CIA/DEA Enforcers lured back into taking out an Islamic terrorist, who is brokering a deal with Mexican Gangsters in Istanbul (?) for safe passage into the U.S. in order to activate (previously planted) 'cells', John Harmon investigating Arab terrorists captured in Mexico. With his Team - Seductive FBI Agent Zara (Jemma Dallender) I Spit On Your Grave 2 and Spy-Drone Pilot Matthew Sharp Romeo Must Die (Russell Wong ) He Has Spy Gadgets Similar to Mission Impossible. They Fly To Istanbul and Uncovers a Brutal. plot: Islamic extremists plan to use Sonora drug-smuggling routes to bring deadly weapons, and leaders, into the U.S. To prevent an attack on America, Harmon must Stop It Before It's Too Late. I Thought Characters Like Harmon, Zara, Matthew Is Great In Movie I Thought Zara Was Pretty Beautiful nice looking badass girl I Love Her Character. I Just Love Strong Female Roles I Really Do. and Place Takes In Istanbul AND NO IT'S NOTING LIKE TAKEN 2 every action movie has Filmed In Turkey Doesn't Make It A Huge Rip off give it a break. All Action In Movie Kicked A LOT Butts a lot of Shooting, Explosions. Seagal Is Doing His Own Thing Like His Own Fight staff Villains Eh Not Much To Say Theirs Villain From Another Seagal Movie Mercenary: Absolution Ayan Al-Mujahid (Sergiu Costache) Villains Are Not Much To Say or About Their Characters, It's Funny How Cartels Are In Istanbul I Thought It Was Funny Thing About It but as it turns out, the Mexicans are still the drug traffickers and the Arabs are still the terrorist. Oh well, so much for something different. At least it's a different setting. I Really Wish It Was Just Istanbul Villains Not Having Cartels In It, It Just Looks Funny. And Movie Is Simple To Watch. And Yes Steven Seagal Doesn't Play Always Same Character In This No I Don't Think He Has Played Same Character Like This Movie To Anothers. And Yes People Every time it's a funny thing in his movies when there's a sex scene, he doesn't take off his clothes off, There's one part where Seagal has a small love scene with this Zara. Normally I'm a fan of needless nudity from hot girls, but it just puts more focus on the fact that Seagal is just an old man who wants the world to believe that he can still get the girls Like James Bond Or Machete Or Whatever another characters. In Opening Scene At Bar Waitress Is Getting harassed buy these 3 or 2 guys then he saves Waitress kick guys in butt then Waitress sits in his Lab Always Kissing . Not only that but this "experience capable agent" Girl gets kidnapped Zara But She Kicks So Much Ass, so that Seagal can Rescue her. Like In Every Movie Does But Hey I Know It's Kinda Same thing But It's Still A Entering Movie Still Fun To Watch. And For New To Watch With Seagal I Am not saying old movies are bad the old seagal movies are GREATEST then today with his B-Class Slaright To DVD Movies But Doesn't Mean They Are Bad Movies Doesn't Mean You Don't Watch It Because It's Bad Movie or B-Class Enjoy it, It's Not Going To Ruin your life it's a great movie Don't believe the negativity stop listening to Naysayers Not REALLY OF Bad Movie, Worser Then This Movie Code of Honor Is WAY Worse then this movie believe Me if you hated Code of Honor you will not hate this movie It's A lot of Fun. 10.10

It's been a few years since I've seen one of Steven Seagal's newer films, but CONTRACT TO KILL ticks all of the disappointing boxes and shows that nothing has changed. The portly star once again re-teams with Keoni Waxman for another story shot in Eastern Europe. Seagal plays the leader of a special forces squad tasked with tackling Islamic terrorists, and as usual he wanders around and occasionally beats people to death. Helping him are an Asian-American guy and an actress from I SPIT ON YOUR GRAVE 2. This is a faintly watchable film that screams cheapness throughout, and the choppy fight choreography, in which Seagal's stand-in is all too apparent, is a cheat.

In this movie Steven has a relationship with someone at-least half his age and there is some sexual content in this movie too. I found that pretty disturbing actually.The actors in the movie sound like they're reading up a script. The set of the movie is default American-Patriotic.Steven is hardly opening is mouth as he is speaking, making his long dialogues difficult to follow.A handful of elements in the film are repeated about 3 times, also a piece of an airplane blowing out of the sky. The first time is good. The second time is a tad annoying. Every other time is just an insult to the person looking the movie.In several situations you expect some appropriate "speed of handling" would be needed and expected yet the actors walk at a pace like they're in no rush at all. Just doesn't add up to the tiny bit of realism that you are hoping to find in the movie that already has this unrealistic story line.It's a definite NO for me...

So in Contract to Kill Stephen Seagal travels to Turkey to take on some terrorist drug dealers, which I thought was interesting as I can't remember when the last time Istanbul was in the movie as the center for espionage and trafficking (No Wait it was Taken 2), but as it turns out, the Mexicans are still the drug traffickers and the Arabs are still the terrorist. Oh well, so much for something different. At least it's a different setting I guess.Seagal plays...I don't know the character's name and let's be honest, it doesn't really matter, cause I can't remember the last time he did not play a retired CIA agent living in(Insert any foreign country) who was brought back into the game because his fat tired ass is somehow that good at stopping the crappy enemy he's going after.I should have known where the movie was going, as Seagal's introduction included Steven spending 20 mins being interviewed by a CIA agent who's trying to convince Steven (And the rest of us) that only the big man with the keg can save the world or something. Then as an extra added bonus Steven sees two gringos who can't keep their hands off some waitress and goes over and some how beats them both while sitting on his ass, then he turns around and puts his hands all over the waitress who could be his granddaughter.Seagal puts together a team that features dude from Vanishing Son, Russel Wong, who looks like he could have been more impressive in this film if he did not have to tone it down to make Seagal look better.The third man on the team is some eye candy whose role as a covert black bag agent makes no sense instead for being eye candy. Seagal treats her like she's been in the game as long as him but she doesn't even look like she's past 30. Her one purpose is to make old fat Seagal look like he's still got it. There's one part where Seagal has a small love scene with this chick. Normally I'm a fan of needless nudity from hot girls, but it just puts more focus on the fact that Seagal is just an old man who wants the world to believe that he can still get the girl. Not only that but this "experience capable agent" gets kidnapped, so that Seagal can rescue her.Some Seagal style action, but not much with Seagal repeating the same moves over and over and using multi angles and fast cuts to try to make it more exciting. It's starting to get lame now that it's 30 or so years in the action movie biz. Seagal has never come up to an opponent as skilled as him in Aikido to at least be able to make him stumble. Not bleed or fall down just push him Back a little, that's all. Yes, Seagal is a very big menacing dude, he still is, but come on.This may not have been such a problem, but for the most part, fat Seagal spends a lot of time sitting down in the movie. I mean literally sitting in a car, sitting at a desk, and sitting while doing some of the fight scenes. It tells me something about how lazy the filmmakers are putting this together.Man, there was so much talking, and it was all though guy talk, too. By the good guys, by the bad guys. I think Seagal, I think action and in an action film tough guy talk should be minimal to one liners, not these over glorified speeches about how awesome they are. I'll give credit that one speech that Seagal himself had with one of the bad guys that was pretty good, but it was only one in a sea of really really bad ones, so it did nothing to make the film better.Half way through you realize it's an espionage movie. Not really Seagal's cup of tea and not what I came to the movies to watch him do, and unfortunately for Seagal, he did nothing to change my mind.Overall Contract to Kill feels like it's screaming Steven should retire. I don't think any one loves Seagal so much, you are cool wasting 90 mins watching him sit and talk with the enemy than go for it. They're better Fat Seagal action movies than this one. Find that one over Contract to Kill.
