i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Am a huge fan of Seagal, my father and I are both huge fans of him and we both love his movies. I also seen some of his new movies some are bad some are good, but this one is the worst one of all! This movies is waste of money and time! Seagal you own me 94.min of my time! This movie of yours is real disappointment!! This is Keoni Waxman's movie and is really awful! He's other movie's A Dangerous Man and Hunt To Kill are one of his best one so far,but this on is a big disappointment for all Seagal fans! When the movie begins it supposed to be an awesome action movie with a great story line. After Roland Sallinger an L.A. cop nearly gets killed by his greedy partner Trevor and then goes to hospital. His partner Trevor shows up and try to kill Sallinger and get's killed by Sallinger himself in my story Trevor shouldn't showed up in Hospital to kill Sallinger, he should gave out his statement what happened: quit the force after his partner was shot and wounded and would have flies with the money he stole from drug dealers. Sallinger recovers his attack after one year later his being forced to retire for medical reasons and get's contact from his best friend he flees to San Antonio, Texas,after being asked for his help to work as a bodyguard for the daughter of a wealthy businessman his best friend. When mobsters set up and kidnap Nikita, Roland goes after them and find's out that his ex greedy partner works for a big shot mobster like Cross. After he run out of money he started working for big shot's like Cross. At the end of the movie it supposed to be a great showdown between mobsters and Trevor like on some car yard during daylight but no! Sallinger should get his revenge and justice on Trevor for betraying him , but no! Then Nikita's boyfriend "Mason Silver" what is his story? He supposed be a great boxer but, instead he was a chicken and mean selfish person whole entire movie. He was a drug addicted and he treated Nikita low. He lied that he loved her, when he didn't he set her up and betrayed her, mostly because of his greed for money. At the end of the movie he should die, Seagal should kill him but he didn't! The real Nikita's boyfriend Mason should might be a loser, but he should show his boxing skills and been a Seagal's sidekick! Not some retarded loser!! Then what's was wrong with this music in this picture? Some dumb Mexican awful old music. The story was in America not Mexico! This movie is really awful. So am giving this movie 1 out of 10. Watch: Today You Die and A Dangerous Man instead stay away from this movie. Oh and one last thing: the acting was bad, the dialog was bad and the fighting scene were awful bad. Seegal you disappointed me in your Aikido style.

The Keeper starts in Los Angeles as undercover cop Roland Sallinger (Steven Seagal) & his partner raid a drug dealers hideout, after a shoot-out in which all the dealers are shot dead Sallinger's partner would rather take the two million dollars in cash than turn it in & shoots Sallinger who refuses to take part in the theft. Sallinger survives the shooting but is badly injured & is forced to retire, as luck would have it Sallinger's old partner Connor Wells (Stephy DuVall) who has become a wealthy businessman in Texas wants Sallinger as a bodyguard to protect his daughter Nikita (Liezl Carstens) who recently narrowly escaped being kidnapped. Sallinger agrees & is on the first plane out there, once there Sallinger takes over all the security as a mob boss Jason Cross (Luce Rains) orders Nikita to be kidnapped so h can hold her to ransom & get his hands on some land that is worth millions but he hasn't counted on Sallinger...Executive produced & directed by Keoni Waxman as far as straight to video action thrillers starring Steven Seagal this one isn't too bad actually, I mean it's no masterpiece or anything anywhere near it but it passes the time & isn't as awful as many of the films Seagal has starred in during the past ten years or so. The script is fairly routine & uninspired stuff with the standard tough cop character up against some bad guy's with some personal motivation thrown in for good measure as his friends daughter gets herself kidnapped but it tells it's story effectively enough with a decent pace & even has a few good action scenes as well. There are moments that lower things a peg or two like doctor's thinking Seagal is in a coma at the start even though he's awake or his double crossing partner not making sure Seagal was dead in the first place but overall The Keeper is fairly coherent unlike some of Seagal's more recent output. There's not much else to say, if you have seen any of Seagal's straight to video films then you will probably have sufficiently low expectations to go into The Keeper & be pleasantly surprised if not exactly blown away with admiration.The action is better than most of the stuff Seagal has done recently, sure he still looks a little overweight & wears a long coat to try & hide his girth but the fights are brutal with Seagal breaking arms & dishing out some serious beatings like he used to during his glory days during the 90's. There's not that much action elsewhere though, there's a half decent car chase & an explosion at the end but it's mostly fights & shoot-outs. There's a little nudity, a lot of violence & a bit of blood too. The Keeper also features Steven Seagal in an over-sized cowboy hat, that scene alone makes this worth a watch.Even though the IMDb says The Keeper had a budget of about $10,000,000 I find that hard to believe, it's quite well made & competent if nothing else but hardly spectacular. Filmed in New Mexico despite being set in Texas. The acting is alright, no-one is going to win any awards but do passable jobs while Seagal just mumbles his way through his role as usual.The Keeper is a reasonable action thriller that I didn't think was brilliant but at the same time didn't think was terrible, it certainly passed the time & is a lot better than most of Seagal's recent output which has generally been awful. Better than expected for sure, don't expect a masterpiece & it passes the time harmlessly enough.

As Steven Seagal is no longer in his prime, so is the character he portrays in The Keeper. Some things haven't changed of course, No matter what name he goes by, he is still the same butt kicking rogue he has always portrayed, with the facial expression of a Maori Head.The plot seems kind of pointless, but then again that is the least of worries in a Seagal film. He is recruited from California to help a wealthy ex-cop and an old friend who lives in Texas, and is in need of a body guard for his daughter. She has been kidnapped by some business rivals. The first question we ask is why, turn to Seagal. Strangely enough, the character asks that very question in one scene. The answer he gets makes little sense.So this is the first of a few things that needs to be fixed in The Keeper. There is also the matter of Seagal's acting, which was never very good to begin with, but now, at his present age of fifty something, is sounds like he is struggling to even get words out, let alone deliver lines. Unless you have a good speaker system, you may have to turn the volume way up to hear. the climax was okay, but the ending is terrible, almost non existent, another couple minutes would have been nice. Quite frankly though, I don't care that much. The fact that Seagal can still hold my attention despite the fact that he's losing it, must count for something. I still have many to see, but from those I have, I'd say this is about average, maybe a little less.

Were you expecting Casablanca? I have read people saying it's preposterous to compare this movie to Man on Fire, but since the plot lines are very similar... bodyguard getting his charge back from kidnappers... I don't think it's too far of a stretch. If anyone is looking for a movie to watch that does not require a lot of thought and you are willing to suspend reality for a couple of hours, this movie is for you... if you are looking for the next The Godfather or Schindler's List... this movie is not what you are looking for. I think some people take themselves WAY too seriously on here... Just for the record, Seagal may be getting on in years, but his movies are still fun and entertaining.
