With the Aid of his gorgeous Loving nurse Kelly Teoh i porn begins to whip himself Back into shape h a killing training program that would make even be naughty Rocky Balboa  Way to toughen up for the apocalyptic Lowdown with the ruthless pack of cutthroats Orr Sticks pins a including what looks like painful a vers of burning incense a into his flesh. Storm a Nial arts master is quite literally smoking and Censed As he reads 7-year-old news clippings about the Slaughter of his wife and child. Milliff be pummels wooden posts with his b y fists and runs up and Down mountains like a mad Gazelle before resting on a Hilltop to gaze Down contemplative by on the Scenic Vista far below. For a Guy who has been in a coma for seven years a or even for an athlete who did nothing but jog and pump Iron for seven years a storm is in fantastic shape and ought to be the Odds on favorite in the climactic showdown. The Only sign that he s been asleep for seven years is his Long Beard and hair. Though it fails hard to kill does at least try to be a Little bit different from the run of the Mill action adventure martial arts blood Bath. One plot element that gives the film a touch of variety is that the villain is a Young charismatic . Senator who thanks to his Slickly programmed image might Well be on his Way toward becoming a vice presidential candidate in 1992. But the plot never runs very far with this idea. We never get even a tiny glimpse of corruption or Kininess in Washington so the villain might just As Well have been from any other walk of life. A second element that gives the movie a different spin is the coma Angle a twist that portrays storm As a Macho version of sleeping Beauty. When storm was shot in 19fti a an assassination attempt engineered with help of corrupt tops on the Force a he was pronounced dead at the Hospital but miraculously came Back to life. To protect storm from another attempt on his life. I1,is Best buddy on the Force Frederick coffin puts out a cover Story that lie is dead and then set oily whisks him off to a coma Ward. Hard to kill never lives up to its Early potential. It does have some Well staged fight scenes. Seagal is a bad parody of a Young glowering Marlon Brando. His hulking body and movements also make him look like the Frankenstein monster. But he is an amusing presence on screen. Lebrock is utterly lifeless a comatose be Block of flesh. The plot disintegrates into a confusing shambles before the film itself snoozes off into a coma from which there is no return. Rated a the film is steeped in violence with a High body count punctuated by thumping Bullet wounds to the  a stripes Magazine 23
