Sadly Over-hyped
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.
Like most people i looked for this movie because of Seagal... But i am interest in any martial art movie anyway. I knew that Seagal only had a little more than a cameo... but the problem is, this role dosen't fit him at all. He is not the type of guy to put into a cage match in a movie. His martial art style dosen't fit at all for that. And the shot from far away, mixed with close shot where you don't even see Seagal made a very poor last fight. You need to put the kind of guy like Michael Jay White or Van Damme for these. When i watch a movie with Seagal, i know he is gonna beat 5 guys at the same type, not being touch once and making joke doing it and thats what i love, stunt double or not... BUT for this role... nah...Then for the rest of the movie, it tried to be super emotional but i had a lot of trouble getting into it, the main character role seem a bit weird. He is some kind of super right cops then he work for them... money owned or not, i don't know, it felt weird... There is a couple fight scene at the beginning, then its all drama.... which is not bad usually, but not that style... more easy going and more action between. I dunno, i felt this movie first wanted to be an action movie, then a drama, then back to action... Anyway... not bad, but thats it. Im glad i saw it, i doubt i will ever watch it again... Seagal or not.
As a fan of Asian (especially Korean) movies I just had to look this up. Korean martial arts movie with Steven Seagal! How cool is that, huh? Well, not much. The film itself seemed do not know what it wanted to be.It starts like some gangster/cop action drama. The protagonist, as an ex-fighter and martial artist, takes out punch of criminals in illegal casino. He retires from police and we see heartwarming relationship between him and his adorable daughter. Then the gangsters force the protagonist to fight again. Then we see one poorly directed and edited cage fight scene. The daughter cries. Then comes some woman who appears to be the biological mother of the girl. More drama follows and the girl cries again. The daughter gets kidnapped just to force the father to fight one more time but this time his opponent is unbeatable cage fight master (Steven Seagal). Another fight scene. The girl cries again (it becomes annoying). Then comes Steven Seagal and says something meaningful. The girl stops crying (finally). Happy end!Steven Seagal's part is quite brief and we can't see him much in the final fight either. The drama parts between the Korean actors were played out pretty well and the story around the girl was rather interesting and quite enjoyable.It would have been much better movie as a simple drama without those poor action sequences. And maybe if the father would have been played by Steven Seagal. The premise: An American Taekwondo champion living in Korea with his seven year old daughter and then the supposedly dead mother comes up. That would have been cool!
this movie doesn't really qualify as a Seagal movie since Seagal appears in it for ten minutes in total,at the most.it's really a just a generic action drama,emphasis on the drama.it's a three hanky weeper at times,and hard to get through.even in the action scenes,(most of which Seagal does not appear in)there is nothing to distinguish this from countless others of the genre.it's a Korean film,so that might or might not explain the heavy emphasis on the drama.regardless,it doesn't work for me.i found it too boring and the acting was just too overwrought for me to enjoy it.plus,i found the story pretty depressing.but maybe that just me.for me, Clementine is a 3/10.
I think this is a great foreign film, Even tho he is billed as a baddie. Seagal plays a genuine part. The performances all around were rather good, esp the little daughter of the hero. He has great Tae Kwon Do skill, at least that is what martial arts he appears to be doing . One of Seagal's more recent films Flight of Fury is not nearly as bad as the reviews, matter of fact I enjoyed it quit a bit, but the dubbing of Seagals voice is pissing me off every time i hear it. As a devotee Fan I own dvds of all his films, as fan Id appreciate something done about. I own a production company and it is not a difficult task to perform a redo for a few lineswww.chasingproductions.com
