Review of Fire Down Below (1997) by Robert C — 26 Aug 2006
Hillbilly bonanza... but with a sentimental side. Not really the best action movie... get the feeling Seagal took the movie because he's a bit of an Environmental nut... oh look hes the producer as well.
Plot summed up in the opening credits... which leaves the movie totally open for action. Unfortunately that doesn't happen. Seagal is a FBI Environmental agent who's friend has been killed by dirty coppers working for toxic waste baron Kristofferson.
.. yep its that simple. Seagal saves the day and restores the reputation of some of the locals. Good fight scenes, bit of a slap dash ending... the best bit is when Segal promises he's going to get Kristofferson by quitting the FBI.
.. but then stating that he was only joking... hmmm could the be a convenient change of plot? The whole Kristofferson thing as a baddie lacks a lot...not as good as Seagal's others... but the movie strives on Seagal's natural charm.
.. yes he does have some.
