A Good Man

There is something very creepy about Mr Segal's character being attracted to the young lead actresses character and she with him. One is 64 and the other is 29. I know it can happen but it is just unbelievable as portrayed in this film, and once there is one daft strand, the rest of the film falls and fails. This could have been a half decent film but the dialogue is poor, the acting wooden and the action scenes poor. The goodies recover from violent beatings far too easily, and the baddies always lose quickly. Why are the baddies always such poor shots. I am a fan of Mr Seagal but this film lets him down, as a few others have and I just wish he would stop making them.

This won't take long:

Anyone who's concerned with clichés and prefers to avoid them then maybe this isn't the movie for you. Continue reading if you may.

Steven Seagal, probably one of the worst actors but fine action stars, is back to his usual tricks of never taking a beating and playing either an ex- soldier, agent, marine, black ops operative - whatever! The point is his movies are as clichéd and dull as any movies ( theatrically or Direct-to-DVD release ) and he coincidentally proves otherwise in this movie. The best movie he's appeared in DTD is probably 'Maximum Conviction.' He stars alongside Steve Austin the former wrestler, and the acting, storytelling and action scenes were brilliant. I gave it a 8/10 rating as it was well deserved. 'A Good Man' manages to bring a huge standard of stability to its storytelling as well; the only downside: hardly any action. That aside the performances from most of the actors were splendid and kept the movie watchable. At times it felt like elements of the screenplay might start to slip, but the actors keep the spirit of the movie alive.

As an action movie fan I hate say, but this movie I would suggest only recommendable if you feel only good storytelling would put you in the right mood to enjoy this flick. If you desire action and wouldn't want to waste time watching something with hardly any action then this isn't the movie for you. I wouldn't recommend buying it either; there's way better action movies.

An American action thriller; A story about a former U. S. Special Operations soldier living off-the grid in Eastern Europe after a covert operation in Russia ends in disaster. This is a prequel to Force of Execution (2013) which showed John Alexander as a crime lord in New Mexico. The film has a well-worn plot, a retired toughman expert utilising old skills for a neighbour under threat. The trouble is it barely touches on character development or gritty drama so when Seagal as the lead doesn't figure much in the showpiece action sequences it is a major flaw for an action movie. The well choreographed fighting sequences feature other characters. Nevetheless, the prologue sequences set the tone well and the final scenes raise it half a notch. Pity about the middle.

OMG, why is Steven Seagal talking with a fake ethnic diction in this movie? What a farce and I could only think of Tropic Thunder. Overall action, plot, and acting are very subpar. After 30 minutes, I realized that A Good Man was a very bad movie.

Just terrible & no entertainment value at all!!! Even for a cheap low budget straight to dvd B-movie!!!

Some of Seagal's cheap flicks have been very good but "A Good Man" is completely horrendous & depressing to watch.

Also Seagal is not a good man here or in real life as we all now know!!!

I like lots of his fairly good DTV films & I'm probably too forgiving with them but this one was so poor, so cheap looking & so tacky that it was a stupid mess!!!

For some good one's of his DTV films checkout, Driven To Kill, A Dangerous Man, The Keeper, Belly of the Beast, Code of Honour, Kill Switch, Into The Sun among others.
