Good story, Not enough for a whole film

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Seagal takes his skills down to Kentucky. The villains are not so menacing this time round but Kris Kristofferson & Co provide some light relief as they try their best to thwart the immovable force. It's good entertainment value, the stunts are good and there's a bouncy musical score rife with regional sounds which helps it pass the time. It has the eco-friendly trappings that Seagal was fond of by this time in his career and he favours a softer side to his persona here, but all the trademark ruthlessness is there for the fans of the aikido expert. There's good support too from Harry Dean Stanton. The film comes up short on originality and there are the usual multiple attempts of a troop of men trying to do him harm but the fun is always in seeing them lose their footing.

Classic Steven Seagal Action Movie ... Back When Steven Did His Own Fight Scenes And Not Break A Sweat ... A Terrific And Strong Story Line With Beautiful Scenery Shots ... Always A Pleasure "Harry Dean Statton" As Always Turns In A Marvelous Performance ... Kris Kristofferson Is Terrific As The Rich Industrialist That Just Doesn't Care And The Way He Sees It Has Nothing To Lose ... Like All His Movies From This Era The Action Is Fast, Furious And Beautiful To Watch ...

This film can be looked at in one of two ways: 1. Sober, or in the unfortunate position of having paid money to watch it.This is indisputably one of the worst films the 90s ever produced (and it had plenty of competition). The acting is beyond wooden, the plot is laughable, and it's no wonder it was nominated for 4 Razzies.2. Very drunk, with equally drunk friends.This is quite possibly the best film in the world. Seagal can do anything - play guitar, fly a plane, save the world, build a porch - but all you will be able to do is stare in fixated disbelief at his hair. Is it real? How does he make it blacker than the 2001 monolith? Is that a ponytail, or a real tail? Do they form some kind of symbiotic crime-fighting partnership that gifts Steven his amazing powers? Overall, 2 stars for making "you can fix my porch" one of my favourite movie euphemisms of all time.

This film is different compared to Segals other films,it hardly has any action and they seem to be focused on the plot more, rather than the action.The plot of the movie is Steven segal plays a E.P.A. agent undercover as a maintenance man to investigate a corrupt company that has been dumping toxic waste in Appalachian Mountains of Kentucky. Most of the villains in this movie are country singers,Randy Travis has a cameo appearance.Segal falls in love with a woman everyone in the town dislikes named Sarah Kellog (Marge Hellenberger)because she was falsely accused of murdering her father when she was a child, it was actually her creepy brother Earl(Stephen Lang). This movie has a lot of humor and nice scenery of Kentucky.I would love to live in the south.
