Belly Of The Beast

Belly Of The Beast

Director Sin-Tung Ching brings his unique style to this film which has Seagal looking for his missing daughter in Thailand.

Out For A Kill

Out For A Kill

Seagal plays a professor of Chinese archaeology at Yale.  Yes, that Yale. This loopy film is one of the better DTV titles so far.

The Foreigner

The Foreigner

Overly complicated and muddled plot finds secret service agent Seagal in Polland double-crossing the KGB.

Half Past Dead

Half Past Dead

Seagal’s last-gasp of a theatrical release. So many double and triple crosses make this film almost incomprehensible. The only PG-13 so far.

Ticker

Ticker

Another supporting role for Seagal as a Zen bomb squad commander. A ridiculous amount of stock footage makes this one hard to follow.

Exit Wounds

Exit Wounds

Seagal teams up with DMX to fight corruption in the Detriot PD. Seagal’s first use of wire-fu. Film relies too much on lame comic relief.

The Patriot

The Patriot

The beginning of the end – Seagal’s first DTV film. High production values can’t hide the fact that there’s hardly any action in this film.

Redbelt

Redbelt

At first  David Mamet and MMA seems like an odd pairing, but his crackling dialogue spices up this tale of one man’s quest to do what’s right.

Fire Down Below

Fire Down Below

Seagal is off to Kentucky to investigate some toxic waste dumping and play some guitar. Good supporting cast makes this one quite enjoyable.

The Glimmer Man

The Glimmer Man

Seagal’s first buddy picture is a pretty bad ripoff of SEVEN, right down to the perpetual LA rain. I still don’t know what the title means.

August

August

Superb drama about the last few days of a struggling internet startup leading up to 9/11. Josh Hartnett was actually very good in this film.

Executive Decision

Executive Decision

Seagal’s first supporting role and first time he is killed off. Seagal does a good job with the few scenes he’s in.

Pineapple Express

Pineapple Express

Hands down the funniest film of the year. I had tears from laughing so much. And I finally get the whole Danny McBride thing now.

On Deadly Ground

On Deadly Ground

Seagal took heat for his environmentally themed directorial debut. He was actually right but how does blowing up refineries help the earth?
