Bon film !

After an assignment to eliminate a high-value terrorist target goes badly, a government assassin named "Alexander" (Steven Seagal) decides to essentially retire in a quiet village in Eastern Europe. However, when the Russian mob moves in and begins to do business with a Chinese arms merchant who had eluded Alexander in the past, his interest in keeping a low-profile becomes less important. This becomes especially true when the Russian mob begins to make trouble for his next door neighbor named "Lena" (Iulia Verdes) and her young daughter, "Mya" (Sofia Nicolaescu). Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this turned out to be a fairly enjoyable movie by and large. I especially liked the hard-hitting action scenes involving Steven Seagal and to a lesser extent those featuring Victor Webster (as Lena's half-brother, "Sasha"). Admittedly, however, I didn't particularly care for the ending, Alexander's low-class vernacular or the overall low-budget feel of the movie as a whole. Still, it was good enough for a rainy day I suppose and for the previous reasons mentioned I rate this film as slightly above average.

'A Good Man' is a passable fare, at best. It works fairly as a Steven Seagal film & as a fan myself, I wasn't entirely engrossed or disappointed with this one. 'A Good Man' Synopsis: After an illustrious special ops career ends in disaster, Alexander (Seagal) goes off the grid and attempts to lead a quiet life as a handyman at an apartment complex in Russia. But when one of his tenants and her family fall under the thumb of a local gangster, Alexander is dragged into an all-out war between rival Chinese and Russian gangs; forcing him to not only defend the family, but bringing him face to face with an old foe, and giving him one more chance to reconcile his past. Keoni Waxman's Screenplay delivers a predictable storyline, but luckily, the brutal action-sequences along-with a mostly consistent pace, make 'A Good Man' a watchable, if not a memorable affair. Waxman's Direction is standard. Action-Sequences are all-out gruesome, but effective & sharply executed. Cinematography & Editing lack finesse. Coming to performances, Seagal is in his element. Iulia Verdes is seductive & nicely restrained. Tzi Ma is a convincing baddie, while Massimo Dobrovic has his moments. On the whole, 'A Good Man' isn't without its share of highs & lows. Watch it if you must.

Just terrible & no entertainment value at all!!! Even for a cheap low budget straight to dvd B-movie!!! Some of Seagal's cheap flicks have been very good but "A Good Man" is completely horrendous & depressing to watch. Also Seagal is not a good man here or in real life as we all now know!!! I like lots of his fairly good DTV films & I'm probably too forgiving with them but this one was so poor, so cheap looking & so tacky that it was a stupid mess!!! For some good one's of his DTV films checkout, Driven To Kill, A Dangerous Man, The Keeper, Belly of the Beast, Code of Honour, Kill Switch, Into The Sun among others.

This won't take long: Anyone who's concerned with clichés and prefers to avoid them then maybe this isn't the movie for you. Continue reading if you may. Steven Seagal, probably one of the worst actors but fine action stars, is back to his usual tricks of never taking a beating and playing either an ex- soldier, agent, marine, black ops operative - whatever! The point is his movies are as clichéd and dull as any movies ( theatrically or Direct-to-DVD release ) and he coincidentally proves otherwise in this movie. The best movie he's appeared in DTD is probably 'Maximum Conviction.' He stars alongside Steve Austin the former wrestler, and the acting, storytelling and action scenes were brilliant. I gave it a 8/10 rating as it was well deserved. 'A Good Man' manages to bring a huge standard of stability to its storytelling as well; the only downside: hardly any action. That aside the performances from most of the actors were splendid and kept the movie watchable. At times it felt like elements of the screenplay might start to slip, but the actors keep the spirit of the movie alive. As an action movie fan I hate say, but this movie I would suggest only recommendable if you feel only good storytelling would put you in the right mood to enjoy this flick. If you desire action and wouldn't want to waste time watching something with hardly any action then this isn't the movie for you. I wouldn't recommend buying it either; there's way better action movies.

Review: This movie is pretty awful! The acting is really bad and the storyline was all over the place. Its about a special force officer (Seagal) who is trying to take down a rich arms dealer. After slipping through his fingers, he tracks him down in Europe but he is dragged into a Russian mafia war after trying to save his next door neighbour. He then realises that the Russian Mafia are connected to the arms dealer and with the help of his next door neighbours brother, they end up in a bloody war with loads of casualties. Personally, I didn't really like the flow of the film and the action was pretty terrible. Seagal goes missing through a lot of the movie and the other characters weren't that interesting. The beginning wasn't bad, when Seagal was trying to take down the arms dealer with the special forces but after such a big build up, I ended up feeling quite disappointed with the whole thing. Round-Up: My expectations for this film wasn't that high because a lot of Seagal's latest work is pretty bad. I did enjoy the movie with Steve Austin but the rest of his films have terrible story lines and low class actors. I'm sure that Seagal will release more of these straight to DVD movies, just to pay the bills, but he really does need to question his career, which has become a real disappointment. Luckily enough, his style of fighting doesn't take that much physical movement so, at 63 years of age, he can carry on coming out with these type of movies for his selected audience but I personally won't be renting another one anytime soon. Budget: $7milion Worldwide Gross: N/A I recommend this movie to people who are into their action movies about Seagal trying to take down a Chinese arms dealer. 2/10

There is something very creepy about Mr Segal's character being attracted to the young lead actresses character and she with him. One is 64 and the other is 29. I know it can happen but it is just unbelievable as portrayed in this film, and once there is one daft strand, the rest of the film falls and fails. This could have been a half decent film but the dialogue is poor, the acting wooden and the action scenes poor. The goodies recover from violent beatings far too easily, and the baddies always lose quickly. Why are the baddies always such poor shots. I am a fan of Mr Seagal but this film lets him down, as a few others have and I just wish he would stop making them.
