My opinion is very much divided.
but the realization is rather good, with plans more than pleasant.
The photo is also very neat.
But the rest, I'm not too sure it's a comedy.
I know that the kind is like that but I don't have enough alcohol at home to appreciate its true value.

I don't rate it as a bad movie. It has great cinematography moments but the overall bland story line and slow pace really make you want to switch it off at time. Someone said in his/her review that this movie should be watched at 2X and I fully agree with him/her.
To me it carries hints on Seagal being inspired from movies like Ip Man and Equilibrium. The action shots are good but not great though some are very good.
On the positive note, brief encounters are what Seagal was loved for and they are still there in his (plus his double's) fights.
What i this guitar for in the end, by the way?
I'll always remember Steven seagal in his best acting days when he was slimmer and was actually doing the fighting scenes. Nowadays I just watch his movies because I really hope that he's slimmed down and doing the fighting scenes without the stunt double that is so visibly seen fighting for him. It's so bad. At this point I think he just needs to stop acting and maybe just watch himself in his movies from back in the day and maybe teach the theory of martial arts.
Nothing new or interesting here. Steven Seagal's character is basically "Mr. Perfect", he's totally untouchable. All his fights are completely one sided as he does a poor job imitating a Wing Chung master. And he's obviously the most spiritually enlightened and wisest man in the film as he preaches words of wisdom in his usual monotone voice. The only real entertainment to be found is Steven Seagal is so ridiculous, that he is unintentionally funny. I recommend the film as a action comedy, but if your looking for serious action with a well written script, then skip this movie.
I now watch all Segal movies for the comedy... They all make for a good laugh...
To watch him hobble and wobble on screen like the Stay Puff Marshmallow Man and then have his stunt doubles do most of his fight scenes is the comedy that only Monty Python can surpass.
Total Trash unless for the comedy element of watching a fat old man trying to recapture his glory days

Did you know
- TriviaA passion project of Seagal. Next to starring, Seagal also wrote the script and produced. Originally, he was also to direct, but in the end the film was helmed by director Mathieu Weschler instead.
- GoofsIn all his melee fight scenes, Steven Seagal is mostly replaced with a stuntman. Although this stuntman is filmed from behind, it can still be noticed that he is much slimmer than Seagal and has a slightly different hairstyle.
