Mason Storm, a 'go it alone' cop, is gunned down at home. The intruders kill his wife, and think they've killed both Mason and his son too. Mason is secretly taken to a hospital where he spends several years in a coma. His son meanwhile is growing up thinking his father is dead. When Mason wakes up, everyone is in danger - himself, his son, his best friend, his nurse - but most of all those who arranged for his death

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Ketrivie

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

i am writing this for an entirely different reason ! in the movie hard to kill if you watch this closly at 47:32 of the film when segal is sitting atop of the giant rock on the mountain to the left side of the screen just to the left of his head you can barely see a UFO hauling ass out of nowhere!!! it disappears behind his head before scene is cut !!! OK so you may say ITS AN AIRPLANE !!RIGHT? WRONG!!!! WE HAVE NO AIRCRAFT THAT FLY THAT FAST EVEN IF WE DID IT WOULD NOT ONLY CAUSE A SONIC BOOM BUT YOU WOULD Definitely BE WATCHING IT GO BY SLOWER IF IT WERE AN ACTUAL AIRPLANE LIKE A 747 OR 757 OR EVEN SOE OTHER TYPE PASSENGER PLANE OF A COMMERCIAL SORT!!!! CREEPY!!!!robmorin00@gmail.com

There is some good stuff here. But we do need more Seagal action. The best thing is maybe the super hot Kelly LeBrock as a nurse. Can we get a sponge bath? Steven does some Eastern Medicine stuff, does some fighting, and you know.... Seagal needs to expand his acting skills. Or else they need to cover the bad acting with a funny sidekick or a lot of big action. At least they got LeBrock as a distraction.Mason Storm (Steven Seagal) films Senator Vernon Trent (William Sadler) in a compromising dockside conversation to corrupt cops. Then they come after him. His wife was killed, and they think they killed him, too. Unknown to them, he was only in a Coma. Seven years later, he comes out of the coma, and the senator comes after him again. Nurse Andy Stewart (Kelly LeBrock) is caught in the gunfight, and she helps Mason escape the hospital. This time, Mason need to take down the senator once and for all.

Awful this hard to kill action film was a waste of my time , for a start it does a annoying soundtrack some boring action that is so tame , and acting which fails to be good. Every bit of the plot is standard a group of hit men kill segal although he is still alive then he kills them , then when the action and revenge scenes come it is so tame , only a bit of blood and a group of tame shootouts and the typical , gun , fight , odd quote , just miss it. I think people just don't agree but they should because many others will hate this film and haaa they should make a good action film , this uggggg get the bin out . overrated 15 certificate for moderate violence.

Looking back on Hard to Kill - a film if released nowadays it would surely be lying in the straight-to-DVD bargain bin at Tesco - it is actually quite sad to see the once tall and lean Steven Seagal showing off his bone-breaking Aikido skills, given the flabby has-been that now graces the covers of movies such as Belly of the Beast (2003) and Maximum Conviction (2012). These movies tend to appear in the supermarket every other week and then seemingly disappear into obscurity, but the flappy-handed, pony-tailed beast that runs like a girl was once able to draw a cinema crowd. Yet watching Hard to Kill, one of his most popular titles from his early 90's heyday, it certainly poses the question of how?Go it alone cop Mason Storm (Seagal) records a meeting between a gang of mobsters and Vernon Trant (William Sadler), and flees when they spot him. He divulges this information to one of his policemen friends, unaware that a couple of crooked cops are listening into the conversation. Arriving home to his wife and kids, he is greeted by a group of masked gunmen who kill his wife, and shoot Mason to within an inch of his life, while his young son escapes. Falling into a coma, Mason's death is faked by his best friend Lt. O'Malley (Frederick Coffin) to keep him out of reach of the mobsters. Seven years later, he awakens to a police force now overcome with corruption, and Trant now Senator. Along with nurse Stewart (Kelly LeBrock), who has been looking after him during his coma, Mason escapes the hospital to recuperate his strength and exact revenge on the people who murdered his family.The action movies of the early to mid-90's were generally quite dull affairs, with television-quality attitudes to film-making, and the sound of machine-gun fire seen as an easy substitute to anything resembling genuine tension, and Hard to Kill is no exception. Apart from the delight taken in seeing Seagal being shot to s**t, very little happens for a good fifty minutes. The silly and quite diabolically unrealistic plot is nowhere near engrossing enough to justify this, and Seagal's quite repulsive protagonist failing to provide a lead to care about. There is, however, one of the best one-liners in action history, when Mason overhears a television commercial for Senator Trant in which he uses the line "and you can take that to the bank!", Mason replies "I'm gonna take you to the bank. The blood bank!". Genius.www.the-wrath-of-blog.blogspot.com
