Steven Seagal, The man who seemingly can't walk past a Mcdonalds these days, is back and plays ex-CIA (as always) agent Travis Hunter whose assigned to investigate the killing of the Govenor of Tokyo, as the Murder seems to involve the Yakuza and as Hunter was raised in Japan, he has a lot of connections with the underworld.
It actually sounds much better than it is, because INTO THE SUN is such an awfully boring waste of time.
The acting is terrible (even by Seagal standards) The action sequences make no sense, Seagal walks around with an FBI agent (you end up thinking this is going to end up a Buddy Movie) but the Agent serves no purpose and doesn't last long anyway and gets quickly forgotten about.
They couldn't even afford to hire English Speaking Japanese actors as you need to put your subtitles on to know what's happening, even then you don't care.
This is such a disjointed, poorly edited, badly scripted mess. it's woefully Directed by a guy called 'Mink' only on his 2nd feature and it shows.
This is such a badly made pile of garbage and a chore to sit through and it's even worse than SHADOW MAN (2006) - No way was anything close to $16,000,000 spent on this dud, maybe a tenth of that at the most.
To add insult to injury, this trash is supposed to be a remake of the classic Robert Mitchum Film 'The Yakuza'
AVOID!
