Driven to Kill, 2009, Action
Plot: An ex-Russian mobster turned novelist’s ex-wife is killed and daughter is beaten to near death. He seeks revenge on some of his old comrades.
Seagal never ceases to amaze me. He’s back in this film and this time he has a terrible Russian accent to go along with it. The entire film is full of people with bad Russian accents and scenes where Russian is spoken but there are no subtitles.
The best part of this movie by far is when Seagal is having a heart-to-heart with his son-in-law in a strip club champagne room while a topless woman dances on him. The scene is chock full of discomfort and it shows all on Stevie’s face.
When he sees his ex-wife’s dead body, there is almost no emotion. One reviewer put it best when they said that this movie should have been titled “Driven to Boredom”. I may check this one out again just to get a really good laugh.
1.7/5
Seagal Rating: 4.6/5
