GOOD FILM BY SEGAL.......2007-01-20
BELLY OF THE BEAST
I found this dvd in the pawn shop the other day for 2 dollars and decided to get it since I enjoy pointless action films. As another one of the straight to dvd movies from Segal I figured this would be like most straight to video action films, not that great. But I was pleasantly surprised with this film, it had the action of course, with fight scenes and things going BOOM. But it was the story line and some of the performances that made this movie good.
The story is as follows, Jake Hopper is a former C.I.A. agent who just happens to have a daughter that is friends with a senator's daughter. The two girls head off on vacation to Thailand with their boyfriends and get kidnapped by a terrorist group. Well as you can guess Segal [even in old age] heads into battle with the group, the local police force, and even his own old friends.
Director Ching Siu Tung did a pretty good job with this film, and along with Cinematographer Danny Novak made this film look good. Along with six producers, one of which being Avi Lerner, and writer James Townsend they all put together a really enjoyable movie. Is it a great film on the classic level, no, but it is good enough to just chill one day and watch. I recommend owning it, it is a pretty good flick.
For love of a child.......2007-01-10
This is the best film Steven Seagal has made in a while. Seagal plays a retired CIA operative that use to work in Thailand. Ten years later he finds out his daughter was kidnapped while she was on vacation in Thailand. And as usual, his character does not play by the rules and will do what ever it takes to get his daughter back. Don't analyze the movie just sit back and enjoy the action. I also think you should pay attention to his sidekick who becomes a Buddhist monk. His character is very interesting, that is for what little we see of it. This is a good `B' action movie.
the belly of seagal.......2006-06-27
mr. seagal really needs to rethink his movie making,as this film shows. no longer the sleak hard nosed tough guy he was,now he looks overweight,tired,and VERY,VERY SLOW!!!!!! this movie is a sad reminder of what mr. seagal was once capable of doing! really a sad movie!!!!!! skip it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't do it!.......2006-02-17
This is not the Seagal of the early nineties. Something has happened to him and it's not good. He's gained weight, does not move like before, and is hard to understand. The technical process is terrible. I will never buy another Seagal (I have 14 of the old ones) again and I think Amazon should seriously consider taking this off their site.
Oh, Stevie, what has happened to thee?.......2006-01-04
The best way to describe this picture is to tell you a story.
My girlfriend is a huge Steven Seagall fan. But the last film she saw was Exit Wounds. She loved Under Seige 1 and 2, and On Deadly Ground. She thought he looked soooo hot.
When the DVD of Belly of the Beast started and Segall first appeared on the screen, I turned and saw the look of a zombie on her face. "What happened to him?," she muttered. She went on to notice that his eyes looked like slits because his face was so round and fat. His hair looked like he was wearing a rat. And the fight scenes....well... she noticed how the sidekick was very fast and Seagall was always filmed in slow motion. She even noticed he looked skinner in the stunt double shots...filmed from behind or below his neck. And she is no movie critic...
She laughed at some of the lines by the Thai actors that came from B movies from the 1960s. But they at least tried to act..Segall was as wooden as a cigar store Indian.
In short, by the end of the film she wondered how a person of Seagall's former status and fan base could have let himself sink so low. I didn't have the heart to tell her that at least Belly of the Beast had a little bit of plot....others he made lately like Out for a Kill and Submerged were pulled out for viewing by busting under the toliets of the stadium men's restroom after the last Superbowl.
