Movie review - "Out for a Kill" (2003) **

This Seagal film has a decent basic idea - he's an archeologist who finds out his operation is being used by bad guys, who kill his wife and frame him for a crime so he goes looking for revenge.

But it's not a very good movie. Seagal's character is murky - he never spends much time with the wife or talking about her, she feels convenient. The archeology stuff is used a little but not enough.

The action feels silly and the story is a bit of a mess. I didn't like all the evil Chinese triads sitting around a table.

Michelle Goh and Corey Johnson add some okay support. Vern - the guy who wrote Seagalology - liked this film but I didn't. It's silly and not in a fun way.
