"Force of Execution" is the story about a crime lord torn between his legacy and his desire to get out of the life of crime that has built his empire, when a new player to the scene tries to use the town anti-hero's network to climb to power. The only friend the crime lord has is his assassin protégé who has troubles of his own. An epic battle of under bosses and crime lords. Only one will come out alive or will they? This movie rocks! The quality is way better than most of his films and it has some real star power. Steven isn't even the main good guy. He is a bad guy boss, and he is black Steven Seagal - one of my favorites. The newer the Seagal movie, the more he talks in a nearly offensive black person accent, or what he thinks black people sound like. I don't think he realizes how funny he is. I love Seagal for his comedy as much as his ass-kicking. Ving Rhames and Danny Trejo are great in this movie as well. The dialogue between Steven and Rhames during a few of their scenes is spectacular. I had to rewind a couple scenes because I couldn't understand the jive talk Steven was laying down to Iceman (Ving Rhames). There is a part where someone gets stabbed and then a few scenes later is found bleeding out, and he is just talking normal and smiling with a knife sticking out of his heart. They even use scorpion stings to heal people with voodoo magic because that makes perfect sense. There are just so many amazing scenes that embody the Seagalisms I watch these movies for and it also has the fighting. So it is the best of both types of Steven movies, just without much fighting from Steven. Overall, the action and production quality is way above many Seagal films, and the supporting cast is really good surrounding Steven. You will love the one liners in this one. Very highly recommended! I don't know why I am drawn to these Steven Seagal disasters. Maybe I'm trying to discover if the films can get any worse or by some miracle, improving. I have to admit, though, that I am a Danny Trejo fan so that was a draw in itself. Back to Mr. Seagal . He has to be one of the worst actors out there. His character in this film is like all of his other characters: totally unbelievable. Is he still able to do his own stunts? I think he's in his mid 60's. The actor who played his protégé was so not talented except for his flying hands and feet. The actress who played Karen was so blah she could have put the viewer to sleep. And as always, I watched it till the conclusion. I am going to have to talk to my therapist about this.
