I loved all of Seagal's older flicks like "Out For Justice", "Marked For Death","Above The Law", "Hard To Kill", and "Under Siege"...he really nose dived during the late 90s and 2000s he made one decent film...the guy can still fight like nobody's business and I for one am looking forward to this film...we could use an American hero on film these days.

Unlike Stallone's decision to do Rambo 4 against neo-nazi's picking on Indians.

Plot Outline: Casey Ryback is sent on a mission to take out Muslim terrorists who have taken over a flight from Israel to USA.

Maybe because they're smokers or something.

Or he could get Ariana Huffington to be the one bankrolling Muslim oil pumpers turned terrorists.

They could call it "Ariana". Sure to be a smash hit!

As one wit suggested of Harrison Ford's last movie, Seagal's days as an action hero should have been over a decade ago. His appearance in the last couple of movies have been so embarrassing, that it's caused me (at age 50) to head back to the gym every time his re-run image crosses my TV during channel surfing.

It's not just that he looked old and overweight, but he has had the puffy face look of a guy hooked on alcohol or drugs. Aside from the whacko-environmentalism that he insists on indoctrinating his audiences with, regardless of how timely and "relevant" the script might be, I just don't think Seagal can sell it convincingly, unless he takes on a role of the armchair general to the rear of the action-hero stage.

I think Hollywood exec's are going to get so tired of loses on "Brokeback" movies that they're going to eventually move to the obvious scripts about the past 5 years of war that would instantly make money, i.e. realistic portrayal's of our mostly unsung hero's in action during the "War Against Islam" (my own humble characterization).

Eh, he's a primadona. Now, if it were Chuck Norris, I'd be both impressed and afraid.

If islamofascists die in this, then I may for once, pay to see a movie in the theatre again.
