Default Re: BEST STEVEN SEAGAL MOVIE ???

It may be the booze talking but...

There is no way people who in some way are open to Segal films voted this way. His best films are Marked for death and Above the law. I feel this statement to be beyond reproach.

The fact that the highest vote getter, Under Seige, has the highest budget does not suprise me. Many people vote based on what they have seen or heard about.

Segal made his best movies early in his career: Above the law, Marked for death, Hard to kill and Out for justice. Everything after that has been a cash in on earlier sucess or a sermin based on his personal beliefs.

Exit wounds was almost a return to the original formula that made Segal a "hero". However, sharing the limelight hurts his character. Segal rose to sucess playing the tough, don't paly by the rules, every man hero. Under seige set him up as a the "bad ass" that couldn't lose.

The fact that Under seige has dominated this poll reflects poorly on the film judgement of OOT, in my opinion. I believe this to be caused by youth and a lack of experience with Segal's earlier films. If you voted for Under seige please reply with why it is better than Marked for death or Above the law. If your reply includes eitehr: because he is a SEAL, Erika shows her boobs, or Gary Busy had a reality show, please don't bother replying.

Thank you for your time
