You all know that RRA here is a sucker for pulp garbage revenge stories, and what a doozy.
Police officer Steven Seagal videotapes a crooked local city politicial official (William Sadler) cutting a drug deal with the Mafia. The baddie finds out, and has Seagal and his family shot and killed...
...except Seagal lives, but in a serious coma. His police buddies fake the records as if he had died, so to keep the vulnerable protagonist from getting whacked. Seven years later, Seagal lives, he finds out that the local politician is now a U.S. Senator with eyes on the White House. Safe to say, Seagal is sorta pissed, and naturally seeks what all male protagonists in the action genre do...go out for REEEEEEEEVENGE!
*cough* sorry.
Up to Seagal slipping into the coma, its a really good action-film, but then the energy from this provacative garbage-fun opening saps away. But, its still a solid action churner.
