Absolution (2015)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

No one has ever accused Steven Segal of being an accomplished actor. Even by the modest modest expectations, this is one of Sega's worst movies in decades.Someone should take Segal aside and explain to him, slowly if needs be,that it is no longer 1988. That he is now a 64 year old man who is now a generation too old and a hundred pounds too heavy to play roles like this.There is nothing about "Aging Gracefully" in this movie. Segal embodies every bad cliché' about vain older men from the shoe polish black black black hair to the absurdly ORANGE face make up. He tries to look "butch" and " macho" in a series of black leather outfits. He ends up looking more like an overstuffed sofa.The only reason to see this movie is to check out what has to be some of the WORST make up done in any movie in the last generation. Segal's face glows a bright carrot orange while his neck is a pale white.. The demarcation line is shockingly evident.The movie was filmed in Romania with a mixed bag of local talent. Byron Mann plays the "Asian Sidekick" who does all the heavy lifting when it comes to doing actual stunts. He also manages to steal every scene he is in with Segal.Do yourself a favor... pass on this big stinking pile. IF you must watch this kind of movie, then go back and watch something Segal did twenty-five years ago.

Like His Fellow Former Superstar Nic Cage, Steven Seagal has Acquired a Pre-Conceived, Not Without Worthy, Hate that Gives the Grumpsters Enough Ammunition to Assume that Every New DTV Movie Featuring the Former Sleek Seagal will be God-Awful.While This May be Warranted in Most Movies that the Multiple Black-Belt, Philanthropic, Kick-Ass Has Made Recently, In This Case He Defied the Knee-Jerks. It is an Action Filled and Brutal Movie that Fans of This Type Can, Without Apology, Recommend to Fellow Travelers.Byron Mann is Outstanding with Numerous Fight Scenes and Cigarettes and Fills the Screen When the Star is Off Screen. Seagal Seems to Have Lost Some Weight and is More Engaged with the Sophomoric Dialog than Usual. So He has Corrected Two of His Most Glaring Inadequacies of Recent Years.The Film Looks good and its Garish Colors Work Well in This Gaudy World of the Syndicate and Corrupt Government Agencies. It's One of the Best We Have Seen From Steven in Quite a While. There is Some Clunk Like the Unnecessary Tacked On Ending Scene that is Inadvisably Ego Driven to Show the Sextagenerian with Sex Appeal and Includes the Often Referenced Musician Anti-Side to the Violent Nature of His Real Craft.Still, If You Have Completely Lost Faith in This Bona Fide Action Hero, Check This One Out. It May Make You Rethink Current Expectations.

STASR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning Contract killer John Alexander (Steven Seagal) is approached by CIA boss Van Horn (Howard Dell) to eliminate an Afghan who is supposedly selling state secrets to the enemy. However, it is, of course, not as simple as this, and, when Nadia (Adina Stetcu), a young woman who has escaped from the clutches of The Boss (Vinnie Jones) comes crashing in to his lap, it leads John and his cohort Chi (Byron Mann) on a perilous mission of mayhem.For a guy with a reputation for being tough to work with, Seagal certainly seems to keep attracting back the same directors, one of whom would be Keoni Waxman, with whom he's made this, one of his more brutal, unflinching efforts. As well as Waxman, he's reunited with some stars who he's made other films with before, including Jones, returning as the villain, and Mann, upstaging the now rather overweight Mr. Seagal with his high spinning, high kicking prowess. Allegedly, in his heyday, Seagal had a load of William Forsythe's scenes cut from Out for Justice for this same reason, but now, when his star's not what it once was, he can no longer demand anything, just accept how things are.It may be hard core, and full on with the action and violence, but sadly the plot is inconsistent and unengaging, the same of which can be said for Jones in the villain role, whose role in the proceedings at times seems to be in serious question. If you're in an undemanding mood, and can overlook the problems, it might be okay. Seagal has made worse films, but he's certainly made much better. **

"There are some sick people in this world, but if they have enough money they'll get away with anything." Nadia (Stetcu) is an escort who has just escaped from a ruthless and violent mob boss and is looking for protection. When she meets John (Seagal), a contract killer she thinks she has found her savior. Now John and his partner must not only protect Nadia but also take out the mob boss before it's too late. This is another movie that is almost review proof. Either you like Seagal or you don't. Nothing I can say will influence you one way or the other. As for me, I am not a fan. Watching this movie really shows how he has lost a step. The fight scenes are almost laughable. Rather than the karate he was known for it is just him throwing people around, I wondered why he was always wearing sunglasses when he fought and I think it's because it's easier for a stunt man to cover his identity that way. The dialog and acting is very, very…well Seagal like. There really isn't a whole lot more I can say about this. Overall, Seagal fans will enjoy this, others probable won't. I will admit that it wasn't horrible, but the end really drug on. I give this a C.
