No classic
Review date: 2008-07-05 Rating: 6 out of 10
This is no classic. Seagal plays a cop who after capturing a politician on film with some well known criminals becomes their target. He survives but his family do not. The rest you can guess. Having said its no classic, that is only by comparison to the very highest standards; as Seagal films go this is one of his best. He has ample opportunity to display his martial arts skills and it moves along with pace, and as its only just over an hour and a half long this means you won't be bored.
However the script is pretty average, and as with a lot of Seagal films it has a made for TV feel about it which does it no favours. I certainly wouldn't recommend purchasing as I don't believe it will hold up to repeated viewings. See it once and enjoy it for what it is and move on!

SEAGAL IN ANOTHER ACTION HIT
Review date: 2007-08-27 Rating: 8 out of 10
This was an awesome Seagal flick, that's really entertaining!. It's somewhat powerful at times,with a lot of great action scenes, and some cool characters. Segal was awesome in this, although the movie has some unintentionally funny scenes, it's still has a lot of powerful moments, and the finale is excellent. William Sandler is very menacing as the main villain, and the story is formula tic, but very well done!. The Directing is very good. Bruce Malmuth, does a very good job here, with cool camera angles, great action scenes, keeping the film at a very fast pace, and overall doing a great job!. There is plenty of violence. We get LOTS of very bloody gunshot wounds, nasty bone breaking, and a pool cue jammed in someone's neck. The Acting is very good. Steven Seagal is awesome here, he kicks that ass, has lots of cool one liners , was very good in the acting department,had good chemistry with his former wife Kelly LeBrock, and looked pretty cool! (Seagal rules!).Kelly LeBrock, is beautiful, and does fine here, and had good chemistry with her former husband Steven Seagal. William Sadler, is excellent as the main villain, and was very menacing. Frederick Coffin, is also very good here, and was very likable. Zachary Rosencrantz, is okay as the son. Overall a must see! **** out of 5
Maybe the best Steven Seagal movie 'F*** You and Die'
Review date: 2003-09-04 Rating: 10 out of 10
I have just recently purchased 'Hard to Kill' from this site and Im very glad as it provided me with classic Steven Seagal not these terrible new films he has made such as 'Ticker' and 'The Foreigner'. It also contains the immortal line 'F*** You and Die' which epitamises Steven Seagal completely.
If you enjoy a good violent action flick youll like this. The supporting actor Coffin is suberb also.
Seagal acts quite well also. The bad guys are bad. Seagal breaks arms and necks with a sick passion. Its great. Just turn off your mind and enjoy the action.
I conclude that if youre a Steven Seagal fan you MUST buy this film and if youre not a Steven Seagal fan youll enjoy it anyway. Hell, even if yopu hate Seagals guts youll not mind this film.
Buy it from here (its so rare you cant find it anywhere else) you wont regret it.
If action's your thing then add this to your collection.

Before Seagal found fame with "Under Seige" he made a lot of low budget action flicks which, if you were to leave the room halfway through one, was replaced with another before your return, you would be forgiven for not realising. Yet Hard To Kill does have quite an interesting story behind the "kick ass violence" from Seagal, which you'll find yourself strangely transfixed to. Kelly Le Brock's acting is a little shakey but she does seem to work quite well with Seagal (they met and married through this film after all). To sum up Hard To Kill is probably the best of the Seagal films, save Under Seige, and if your one for action and revenge then this is the film for you. Worth a watch.
