The Foreigner (2003)

This Steven Seagal film is a perfect medicine for your insomnia! Just like any other of his films from 2000s. Just play this and voilà! Straight to sleep DVD! No problem. Seagal plays a freelance agent who gets screwed because of a package that is of high interest of mob, politics, blah blah... The film is nothing but walking, or driving around, with few boring fighting scenes... Seagal is really slow, monotone... he is not interesting anymore. Please, man, go retire while you still can, go and start an Aikido dojo in LA, or where ever, I think that's for the best. I really love Seagal's films, but at some point you need to stop. I don't understand, why insisting on continuing to work on some dumb movies that nobody wants to watch. There's nothing to say about this film, I mean what can you say about C film, straight to DVD feature. It's boring, makes you feel dizzy and finally BUMP! Sleeping...

Maybe I'm just a sucker for Seagal movies but this is one of my favorites. Ronin was an obvious antecedent, both movies sharing the same mysterious Package and totally amoral world-view resulting in a virtually plot less series of action scenes reminiscent of the the blockbuster action movies of the 90s on.Foreigner does add the Damsel in distress angle and folds it in well in order to provide a positive denouement and there are the usual rivalry and betrayal themes common to the genre, which are also played out well and, frankly, every time I've watched it, it's drawn me in and kept me interested.From what I read in reviews in general and most of these here, about Foreigner, Seagal movies appear to be either an acquired or simply a personal taste so I'm not going argue with those who have written the majority of these reviews.Point of posting this review: there are actually people who enjoy these movies.

This time Mr. Seagal took some unemployed British actors to Poland. Possibly also to Germany and France. In Poland he found cheap military apparel. Of course there are lots of ruins in Eastern Germany as well. Eastern European stunt men are really difficult to describe.It is not the first time, Mr. Seagal makes a budget film this way. His own performance was rather boring. He hardly ever fought hand to hand this time.For some reason some of the hired guns in the film were said to have been speaking Danish. I have no idea where he got that idea. I didn't hear them speak Danish. I can hardly hear what Mr. Seagal says in this film.This will be an hour of my life, which I will never get back, nor remember. That's why I write this review. Still another thirty minutes left of this discount product.

Two things are changed from then.First of all i am not a kid anymore,and second most of new Seagal movies are just terrible.This is on my opinion the worst movie ever made with Derailed starred by Jean Claude Van Damme.There is no plot in this movie,the plot is just an excuse to shoot some terrible action scenes which are painful to watch.I love action movies,but this is not an action movie....This isn't a movie...this is a group of irritating scenes which are connected in annoying way to kill the viewers love for the action movies.I am sorry but i don't have any respect for anyone who liked this movie.He has a serious intelligence problem then.I hope that Seagal will make some new good movies in the future.Good luck for him !
