Steven Seagal's physical disintegration over the past twenty years is well known. Less familiar is that of Craig Sheffer - the one time hunk of Some King of Wonderful is looking wide eyed and seedy as a special agent investigating vigilante Seagal, who is knocking off various criminals.
There's a good movie inside here somewhere - some interesting thoughts on vigilantism, revenge, redemption... and I really liked the twist that Sheffer is more of a vigilante than Seagal - but its buried underneath dull handling, the unappealing stars. It's also confusing and a bit dim.
The action isn't particularly well staged, the production values aren't great.
The cast also includes James Russo and Louis Mandylor, who you might recognise from things. The best performance is Helena Mattsson, who is good value as a stripper - yeah, I know, she's a stripper, but the actor makes the most of it.
