Action thriller starring Steven Seagal as legendary Memphis homicide detective Jacob Stillwell, whose celebrated law enforcement methods are being tested to the limit as he trails a violent criminal called Lazerus.
In this Memphis-set barrel-scraper, Steven Seagal delivers an excruciating performance as a tough detective on the hunt for two rather dull serial killers. With a weird southern accent and barely any expression, he lumbers through an unsatisfying mishmash of sub-Se7en crime thriller clichés, stereotypes and laughable dialogue. But though Seagal's self-penned script is underdeveloped and over-convenient rubbish, it's nowhere near as bad as the appalling direction and editing. Jittery camerawork, excessive use of the jump cut and pointless repeat shots make the protracted fist-fights and generally unrealistic action sequences feel clumsy and tedious, while the rushed climax simply isn't worth the wait.
