It is so daring, it is so ambitious, it is so thrilling and weird and pointed and powerful. I never knew where it was going.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Hard to watch. Half the film uses Japanese with no subtitles.leaves you totally lost. Bad acting. Stupid characters. Incomprehensible screen play, and odd cinematography. Only good thing was some fight scenes. Not worth your time.

"Into the Sun" is one of Seagal's better efforts of late. The plot: Travis Hunter (Seagal) goes to Japan to stop the Yakuza. This time he has a partner named Sean (Davis). They uncover a drug ring bigger than Seagal himself.Most Seagal movies nowadays are shot on the cheap in Bulgaria. But this time around they shot it in Japan. That was a good choice because the colors are bright, and there's a lot of breathtaking sights. Seagal puts in his routine performance, but he smiles!.... On second thought, It's probably a stunt smiler. There's also a few scenes where Hunter speaks Japanese but the townspeople don't. That was weird. I guess only "reported egomaniac" SEAGAL can speak the language. He does put some energy into the fights though, and the climax with the samurai swords was cool."Into The Sun" had a $35 million dollar budget and was supposed to debut in theaters. I don't know why it didn't, it's not a masterpiece but it's just as good as "Exit Wounds".For more insanity, please visit: comeuppancereviews.com

Steven Seagal plays yet another ex-CIA agent and this time he's got Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George with him......for about 5 minutes.In this one, the Japanese Yakuza plans to unite with the Chinese Triad and its up to Seagal to stop them. Sounds simple but it turns out to be very convoluted. First off they credit Eddie George as one of the stars of the movie and they kill him off before the opening credits...wtf? Its always nice to see William Atherton play the jackass because he does it so well. The movie rolls along and as usual Seagal mows everyone over with little resistance along with a female counterpart to save the day.......yawn.Every Seagal movie is the same these days, an ex-CIA agent that goes after an entire mob of ppl and methodically takes them out with little resistance and ends up saving the day. This time though, its the cultural difference thats confusing. At one point during the flick a bunch of punks gather round to attack Seagal, he points out that half are Chinese and the other are Japanese and 10 years ago that would have never happened. Now to us Americans, if you told us someone was Chinese but was really Japanese how the hell would we know the difference? So we're supposed to watch this and be able to point out who's Triad and who's Yakuza? I know the director/writer is supposed to establish an alliance but when the orginizations hate each other how are we supposed to know? Its a cookie cutter movie where Seagal beats up everyone with little trouble but the cultural impact is the river card to the other movies. in Out For A Kill he was against a Triad, simple enough. This time he's got two cultures to deal with and the storyline gets confusing, but by no means is it that bad of a movie. Another thing is Shawn gets killed and Seagal doesn't comment on it until the very end of the movie If you're a fan of the cultures then its worth the 5 bucks to see it, but if not then go see something else. The highlight of the movie is where Sensei asks which Kendo school Shawn went to and he answers UCLA.4 out of 10

If you've been disappointed with some of Seagal's film of late, don't let that stop you from seeing this one. Some people just think Seagal's a joke and hate everything the guy does. But this movie is never boring, it's very violent (like his films back "in the day" were), and the direction by "mink" (huh?) keeps the film moving at a brisk pace. The authentic Asian locations help a lot too.While far from perfect, this movie rocks: it pours on the blood, the fights, the moments of zen "calm" -- all the things one expects from a Seagal film. And this one delivers!Seagal wrote and performs some of the music for the film too. It's great stuff: he's a decent singer and a fine guitarist.Keep crankin' 'em out, Steve!
