Watch A Dangerous Man For Free

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

I had no intention of watching this movie, except my newborn wouldn't let me sleep and this was on TV at two in the morning. Now I will never forget this movie. It was my second son's first movie. Actually deserves a 6.5 or 7, but I gave it a 10 since it means so much more now and I was in a zombie-like state with a heavy fog rolling through my aging brain. Actually has storyline ideas from a variety of other movies. A little Transporter here and No Country For Old Men there with women in trunks of cars and transponders planted in money bags. Still, not a waste of time if you have time to waste or your newborn won't let you sleep.

if the 2009 movie 'Harry Brown', starring Michael Caine confirmed the legendary cockney as The King of Cool, then this release totally confirms Steven Seagal as the toughest guy in the movies. The action, especially the fight scenes is intense and brutal. Seagal's legendary fight with Screwface in Marked For Death is among his best but there are fights in this movie that are as brutal - even if they are not as long in duration.Its a welcome return to close quarter combat from the master of fight choreography. Basically as he (Seagal) said before no-one beats him in the kitchen or the bathroom, the bedroom, the closet or anywhere else anyone might be foolish enough to pick a fight with him.Combined with the pretty decent movie score, the film overall is entertaining as a fight fest, mob war. The villains are good especially The Colonel and the Russian mob boss is the kind of guy you would want on your team right? Who cares if the story is a bit insane, or there is dubbing or even stunt doubles? Its Seagal doing what we love best - kicking ass and not even taking a punch his way. Marvellous.

Dirty cops. Russians moving illegal cars. Chinese gangsters. A kidnapped girl and drug money now in his possession after interfering with Chinese thugs who kill a policeman and Russian car thief, ex-Special forces soldier Shane Daniels(Steven Seagal), just released from prison after 6 years for a murder he didn't commit(DNA evidence proving his innocence, but the time costing him his marriage), is right in the middle of quite a mess. It's good that he has the fighting skills and capabilities to deal with constant threats while looking to help a girl, Tia(Marlaina Mah) free her uncle used as bait to trade drug money between Chinese. Sergey(Jesse Hutch)is the son of a powerful Russian, Vlad(Vitaly Kravchenko)and was stopping off while moving an SUV(his friend had to urinate) when they come across the police officer pulling over two Chinese gangsters with Tia hostage. Mao(Byron Lawson)is the Chinese gangster(working for drug lord Chen(Terry Chen)who expects to use Tia's uncle as a trading device for drug money)who witnessed Daniels' handiwork and couldn't stop Sergey(and a drugged Tia)from fleeing. Sgt Ritchie(Jerry Wasserman)is the leader of his county's crooked cops, under the 'advisement' of Chen(in other words, Ritchie and his men are in Chen's hip pocket). Vlad doesn't like Ritchie or any other cops on his turf and soon has a war on his hands..Sergey, whose life was saved thanks to Daniels(Daniels happened to be in the vicinity where Mao and another goon were killing the cop), will hold his savior in his debt. Because Sergey's life was saved, Vlad offers Daniels a hand of friendship and protection. Even more threatening than Chen is The Colonel(Byron Mann), a "Danu" warrior who has special plans to take Tia's Uncle himself. So Daniels has much to contend with, joining forces with Vlad, they will attempt to get Tia's Uncle away from The Colonel by any means possible. Two major action sequences include the shootouts at Vlad's mansion and Chen's lumber mill, with Seagal looking superhuman thanks to camera speed and editing. Daniels' kicks send opponents hurling in the air and through windows, shelves, and other furniture. Daniels' arms move impressively quick, about as fast as a hummingbird's wings. Mao and The Colonel, neither one, are able to withstand or combat Daniels' staggeringly swift hands and stunning power. Director/writer Keoni Waxman makes Seagal look really good, though, and I think it's all too clear that cinematic techniques contribute mightily to this effect. Notice how camera speed, for instance, adds impact to Daniels' blows and movements. While an aging Seagal is no longer in his ABOVE THE LAW/HARD TO KILL prime, thanks to proper editing, it looks like his Daniels is a dangerous killing machine without an equal, even though we can figure that his stand-in stuntman carries a lot of the load with less appreciation. Still, there are moments where we see Seagal's hands engage with the enemy, and that does add value to the fight sequences.

For a recent Seagal effort I thought this was quite good. There are a fair few fight scenes with Seagal doing most of the fighting (a little double work). The film moves at a brisk enough pace and although its a similar story to ones that we have seen before (ex special ops etc) I liked the story. 6/10fights: a good selection of fight scenes with plenty of bone breakingDubbing: There is some dubbing, but its not as bad as in some of the others (attack force)Acting: Fair enough, typical Seagal fair. Supporting actors were OKStory: A rehash with a little twistEntertaining overall!
