Literally Seagals biggest role (or roll?)

Warning: Spoilers
When former black ops operative Cross and his partner Manning are assigned to decommission an old prison, they must oversee the arrival of two mysterious female prisoners.

Before long, an elite force of mercenaries assault the prison in search of the new arrivals.

As the true identities of the women are revealed, Cross realises he's caught in the middle of something far bigger than he had imagined....

If the new King of direct to Blu Ray action movies is Austin, then buy my player please. Everyone of his movies that he is billed first or second, is appalling, and to top it all off, he has no screen presence.

At least in the eighties, action stars and something about them, and in the nineties, they were just stupidly over the top, you couldn't help but love them.

The film goes for the last Die Hard route, two prisoners who have something, bad guys pretending to be someone they are not, and then the two heroes.

Seagal proves in this, that he is past it, he is no longer convincing as an action star, and while I'm sure he has stamina and strength in reality, he doesn't convince in this movie, he stands around looking perplexed and slaps a few people.

It's a new low for the star, I usually tolerate his poorest efforts, but this had med me irritated about twenty minutes in.

Do yourself a favour, ignore this, and realise that Van Damme is still making decent movies, that look like Die Hard compared to this tripe.
