Review of Today You Die (2005) by Robert C — 28 Apr 2007

Is Seagal even trying anymore?

What is my fighting idol doing to himself?

To give you an idea of how bad its getting I'm worried if he's even doing his own fighting anymore!

The first main fight scene in this movie (Out of the two and a half.

That we get) Seagal has his back to the camera. It's also very badly edited with him doing what appears to be some clumsy karate chop towards the sides of the camera... maybe its all just an illusion.

Half the time he is just sat around pretending he's black, and that he's down with the ghetto language. Hmmm. Yeh. Exactly.

One good car chase. Two Alright fight scenes. Two questionable shootouts. Some pathetic attempt of a reference to dreams. No characterisation. No plot... unless you count guy gets fucked over and imprisoned so goes after the people who set him up verrrrry slowly, an original plot.

In the last five minutes of the movie he just basically goes in and shoots the bad guys or blows them up. No Fighting Needed. And then gives all the money to a children's hospital. Awwwwww.

No thought was given to this movie. The dialogue was written by a 5 year old wannabe gangsta. The little details are all out of place and messed up. And no Seagal charisma!

Seagal better get his bloody act together, remember his last classic... Into the Cesspit ??? (Into the Sun).

Overall one of Seagal's worst!

Today his career died?
