And you can wait Tough Guy Steven Seagal lops off that cheesy Little Ponytail and leaves the Gritty Urban decay that provided the backdrops for his first four films to take to the High seas in this movie. It manages to be entertaining despite its dangerously High Bilge Content. Scag Al plans Petty officer Casey Ryback a career Sailor serving As a Cook aboard the battleship Missouri actually the cleverly reconstructed battleship Alabama which was decommissioned in the 1950s and is now a floating museum.

Krill Gary Buse has gone off the deep end and joined a band of cutthroat pirates led by William Strannix Tommy Lee Jones former top Field agent for the Cia who went rogue when the company tried to neutralize him after a botched operation. With help from Krill Strannix a whose flight deck has More than a few Loose Tail Hooks a gets aboard the ship with a Bunch of henchmen disguised As a catering Crew for a Surprise birthday party planned for the Captain. Of course the party is just a cover. The Only obstacle is Ryback. Along the Way or is joined by Jordan Tate Erika Oleniak former Playboy playmate of the year who came aboard As an innocent member of the birthday party entourage and a handful of other sailors who slipped through Strannix a net. Director and co writer Andrew Davis takes More than a few cues from the die hard movies meaning the terrorists go about their business with clockwork precision in the Early scenes but then turn into stumbling tumblers As the hero moves into High gear. If there weren to so Many of them the movie would be a lot Shorter. Seagal is his usual Cool and deadly self although he tones Down the mar tial artistry that has become his trademark. Still he manages to work in a few scenes that Call for him to do things like strangle one terrorist while simultaneously breaking another a spine with a kick and drilling a Bullet Between a third ones eyes. Busey and Jones Are their usual edgy and maniacal selves and they make Good foils for Seagal. Oleniak is pure window dressing not that you la hear me complain whose big scene comes when she pops out of a birthday cake and bares her breasts for Ryback. Although her Jordan Tate is a terrified screamer at first she quickly metamorphoses into a gun toting Gal Friday. When the top brass at the Pentagon tries to Contact Ryback on a portable satellite linkup that he has rigged Oleniak answers and says a a he a in a gunfight right now. Ill have to take a the script has holes big enough to sail Well a battleship through. But in flicks like this logic counts for less than Eye catching action. And Davis provides plenty of that in addition to All the Mano a Mano duels a considerable amount of heavy ordnance is expended including two of the tomahawks and a couple of 5-Inch shells from the battleships awesome big guns military audiences will love it under siege is your typically nonsensical High octane action film that has absolutely nothing to say but looks dam Good not saying it. It s Worth three stars. Pa3e 12 asv�m5�s i
