Seized

It was a very solid and fun action movie. The plot was generic but I enjoyed the Mexico setting and the storyline surrounding the cartels. The main villain was very good and I liked his motivations. The lead was also good and Scott Atkins typically makes decent movies. There was some great action scenes and the choreography was very well done and was very gritty and violent. Lots of fun and very fast paced.

The good: what every action movie fan craves for: lots of non stop killing and fighting and actor Scott Adkins delivers just that.

The "story": Scott Adkins' kid is kidnapped and now he is pressured by crime boss Mario van Peebles to liquidate all of his enemies. And so it goes...

Any bad? Well, it is still a B-movie, so dont expect Oscar winning dialogues or photography, these kind of movies serve only 1 purpose: non stop action. As much as possible that can fit into 90 minutes.

No jokes this time around. No problem with that. The action isnt superb, because there aint a lot of original action stunts, but it'll do just fine.

I pretty much know what to expect with most Scott Adkins movies, and this was exactly that. Decent actions sequences, cliche plot.

Mario van Peebles was fun to see, and he really chewed up the scenery in a pleasant way.

This movie exists, and it can kill some time, but it's neither memorable nor something that has to be seen.

A very average Scott Adkins movie. I expected much more from Isaac Florentine given his past successes but given the obvious lack of money here and the shooting speed I guess this was the best we could do. To be fair, the action sequences are pretty decent when portrayed as JOHN WICK-style shoot-outs, although the hand to hand combat at the climax is spoilt by the annoying intercutting between fights that Hollywood always insists on. Adkins is fun and Mario Van Peebles full of charisma, but the rest is merely B-movie average grade.

Our hero, Nero, possesses very special skills. His son is kidnapped and in order to save him he is forced to go on a killing spree. Yes, it's 'Taken' once again, with some variations. It plays out (probably intentionally) like a computer game. The dialogue can sometimes be cartoonishly clunky. Exciting at times, it did succeed in holding onto this viewer until the end. Ok but quickly forgotten.
