Hard to Kill (1990)
7/10
One of the better Steven Seagal films
9 July 2011
I have to admit I am not a fan of Steven Seagal and some of his movies. Under Siege will always be his best film to me, but Hard to Kill is one of Seagal's better movies. I admit, the plot is implausible in places, though it is not as predictable or derivative as Seagal's films tended to become later on, the music sounds dated and tacky(my opinion) and the dialogue can be weak. However on the whole I did enjoy Hard to Kill. The action is well choreographed and fun, the pace is not sluggish or dull as I admittedly expected it to be and the film doesn't look slip shod or cheap. Steven Seagal doesn't give an award worthy performance, but it is one that is intelligible and more energetic than he would become in outings like Out for a Kill. Kelly LeBrock is an alluring and convincing partner, and she works fairly well with Seagal, while William Sadler is also enjoyable. Overall, imperfect but one of the better Segal films. 7/10 Bethany Cox
