Problem is, Exit Wounds really isn’t very good. Orin and Latrell must save the day and make the bad guys leak blood and regret through their newly inflicted… Exit Wounds (yeah, I know, but you try using Exit Wounds as the end of one of these things and then get back to me with any complaints).īased on your having actually heard of it, you may have expected to see Exit Wounds further up the rankings than this. But in finding out how wide this conspiracy spreads, Boyd may have found an unlikely ally in Latrell, a gangster to whom, much like a Transformer, there is more than meets the eye. Surrounded by cops who he’s reluctant to trust (and he may just be onto something here), Orin will have his work cut out for him if he wants to expose the villainous bogwads behind a high profile assassination attempt. Steven Seagal IS Orin Boyd, a cop who gets results any way he can, much to the annoyance of the suits back at the precinct. What can two men do against a gang of crooked cops? Whatever it takes. You’re most likely to remember this one for its botched eroticism, with a wonderfully gratuitous nude scene at the beginning and a couple of women just hanging out, having an uncomfortable smooch in a club toilet.

Seagal shoots a helicopter out of the sky, squashes a man’s eyes and turns a room full of junk into a slaughter emporium. There’s some fun stuff in there too, though. The script insists that every third line of dialogue Seagal speaks is “I just want to find my daughter.” It’s too slow and we get a really clear look at Seagal’s doubles on occasion. It has too many characters and no clearly defined big bad. They’d all do well to stay in the light when Steven Seagal is a… Shadow Man. All these trout-sniffing scumbags are out to get Foster, but while someone has his daughter, he’s out to get them first. He’s being used as a pawn by someone, although he’s not sure who, in a scheme involving a dangerous chemical weapon. The police, the CIA, local drug dealers, gangsters, his own father in law. Who does he have to fight? Well, it seems no one can be trusted. When his beloved offspring is kidnapped upon arrival at their holiday destination, Foster is forced to fight to get her back. Steven Seagal IS Jack Foster, a loving father and dangerous martial artist. We also get lots of scenes set in strip club, because of course, and plenty of Seagal shooting. Obviously, Seagal smashes him to pieces regardless. My favourite part of the film sees Seagal fighting a guy who bizarrely develops the ability to crawl along walls, mid-brawl.

There are a couple of great fight scenes, too. Steven Seagal IS… Out for a Kill.įortunately, the tone is light and the silliness passes as good fun. Now, nothing will satisfy him but brutal, violent vengeance. But gangs full of wanker mobsters, deviously battling over international drug distribution and foolishly using Seagal as a pawn, go too far when they explode his home and sleeping wife. He’s a cool character who maintains his poise despite being falsely imprisoned and disrespected in front of his beloved wife in a nice restaurant. Steven Seagal IS Professor Robert Burns, an archaeologist with a shady past. I’ve tried to explain what happens in each film that makes me dig it or why it’s higher up or lower down the list than you might expect. That might not sound very scientific, but if Steven Seagal films have taught me anything it’s to disregard science and smash some dudes in the groin. I’ve ranked films here based on how much I like them. That’s why you’ll not see Machete, Executive Decision and the like. There’s an argument for doing it either way, but I’ve chosen to do it this way. Regarding how the list was compiled, I’ve included films with Steven Seagal as the star but not those in which he plays a supporting role. His movies are fun to watch and I take legitimate pleasure from watching them. I love it when he wrecks a convenience store. I love it when he goes to a strip club (so, so often). I love it when he goes an entire film without getting hit. I love that he always plays a tough guy with a secretive military background. I love that I can spot the same elements.
