This is not "Saving Private Ryan", and its also not "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". But, it isnt a bad lower budget kung fu movie. It was skillfully directed by a director that knows how to direct movies of this genre. If you are not a kung fu fan, or a Steven Seagal fan then you probably won't care for it. Seagal doesn't do a whole lot of Aikido in this one. He performs more of a theatrical Chinese Kung Fu. This isnt a bad thing since he has a deep interest in various martial arts. And lets face it, there are only so many Aikido techniques that really lend themself to motion pictures. There are lots of cool fights, a decent sound track, and eastern spiritual overtones. Thailand was a perfect setting for this one. You can read about the plot in this item's description. It's fare to say this is a decent martial arts movie by a man who actually has master's credentials.Read full review
Most of Seagal's movies are butt kickers. But, it is always nice to have the bad guy get his at the end. This was an action movie where Seagal plays a father who would do anything to rescue his daughter. Don't mess with his daughter.

This dvd was a very good value and in great condition. Steven Segal has a daughter and some bad guys capture her and Steve wants her back by any means necessary. Over your dead body? Count on it because big Steve is not playing around. Another installment from the big guy in pony tail. Butt does get kicked, plenty of action and a slower, older Steven Segal. Hey, at least you get what you pay for( at a good price). My dad loved it for his father's day gift.
I usually enjoy Steve Seagal, but I believe this is one of his best movies because it has an engaging plot, combines his martial art skills, with a story of a man trying to save his daughter who is abducted half way around the world. Much like the plot of taken. It also combines the conventional martial arts with a spiritual twist. He is aided by the power of focused positve energy against mystic dark forces. Overall an excellent entertaining film. One of those movies you might not mind seeing more than once.
