Good acting at Sam's death (00:57:00 mark). Apart from that, I have absolutely nothing good to say about this film. Well, yes I do, come to think of it: Michael Jai White had basically nothing more than a cameo here. That's a definite plus.
The storyline was decent and wow, this had so much potential to be so much better; unfortunately, nobody cares. Just churn another one out, send it straight to video and rake in another few dollars. Again, even though the poster art touts Steven Seagal's face and name, he's a minor character here. This is not another one of his "I'm the toughest man in the world. Watch me kick everyone's butt." movie; here, he's a crimelord who's getting ripped off. So you have Seagal in parts of this movie but only as a "behind the scenes" character. He does get involved in the later part of the film (like, the final 5 minutes maybe) but other than that, this is just a very generic movie starting a handful of very generic people with very generic roles. The horrible attempts at "romance" were so bad they weren't even laughable. "Babe" and "honey" coming out of the mouths of the two supposed lovebirds sounded so fake that it would have been better to just not try. So much about this movie was a colossal turd. I can't say I hated it, but to sum it all up: I was glad when this ended.
