This might have been a lot better if they didn’t have to continually stroke Seagal’s ego.
He sleep walks through the film, slashes a sword every now and again and then gives some of the worst lines of the film. Why was he freakin’ there?!
I’m sure the filmmakers thought it was a real coup getting him for their little film, but they should have spent the money on giving Keith David a larger role.
Against the Dark
He lives by the sword. They will die by it.
