Today You Die (2005 Video)

Poor action films are the graveyards for aging martial art stars.

Poor action films are the graveyards for aging martial art stars. In such films they struggle to maintain that dangerous demeanor that made their early work successful, but they all end in failure. Seagal is too old for this type of role but he wont let go...no matter how silly he looks. Some hope his current work will somehow bring back the magic, but there is no magic left. The late '80s and early '90s belonged to Steven Seagal and his work made me a fan. I could see him fit nicely in a slot on The Sopranos where his overweight body, jowly features and sullen attitude could have found a home. I wonder what the return is on his run of direct to video films?! Since he produces them I'm assuming the $$$ is more than satisfactory. If this is the deal we will be subjected to poorly done Seagal action films well into his late 60s and 70s.....

The Marksman (2005 Video)
1/10
Here's what happens when you run out of $$$$
28 September 2005
Once they paid Wesley Snipes they realized they were out of money but for some odd reason decided to go ahead with the film anyway. No longer able to afford a Director they apparently found someone who would do it for food. No longer able to pay for a supporting cast they compelled the pizza delivery boy, a cab driver or six, and friends of the Producer to take the parts. As for a script....well fortunately comic books are still cheap..... And this movie is what you get when you run out of $$$$$. The immediate question is, of course, why did the talented Mr. Snipes take this on? 1 vote point out of 10 instead of zero simply because Wesley Snipes was in it. 1 vote point out of 10 simply because SINCE Wesley Snipes was in it, it should have been much more and it wasn't. Give me Tom Berenger as SNIPER any day.
