After an illustrious special ops career ends in disaster, Alexander goes off the grid and attempts to lead a quiet life as a handyman at an apartment complex. But when one of his tenants and her family fall under the thumb of a Russian gangster, Alexander is dragged into an all-out war between rival Chinese and Russian gangs; forcing him to not only defend the family, but bringing him face to face with an old foe, and giving him one more chance to reconcile his past.

Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
Stephanie There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
Allissa .Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
bruce-129 First, the credits went on so long I almost fell asleep.This movie was so cliché it was laughable, but it was not funny, just sad.They kept using the trick of shooting some bad guy, and they did it a lot, and the guy would fall against the wall where they was already a big splatter of blood, red paint, behind him. In other words cheap effects.Seagal himself, it was hard to figure out exactly what he was or where he was coming from as a character. He spoke in a ghetto dialect so it was kind of hard to figure out if he was supposed to be a brother or what.The military operations they portray were also laughable as you have your spotters and agents on the ground telling control what to do, but control decides to launch a missile anyway, with their men in the target area.Then, in almost everything else this movie is so over to the top violence. In one scene the bad buy gang runs down a mark who they are running a protection racket on, who says he paid, and they literally punch, kick, throw, slam him until if this was a real scene he would be dead, i.e. unable to pay or ever pay.This movie is just unbearable, in fact I think it is kind of psychologically toxic and I would stay away from anyone who says they like this movie. Maybe report them to the FBI because they probably have very violent tendencies and something wring with them psychologically. This movie really has no redeeming qualities, and not even good effects.Seagal's goatee even seems cheap and fake. Very sad.
Uriah43 After an assignment to eliminate a high-value terrorist target goes badly, a government assassin named "Alexander" (Steven Seagal) decides to essentially retire in a quiet village in Eastern Europe. However, when the Russian mob moves in and begins to do business with a Chinese arms merchant who had eluded Alexander in the past, his interest in keeping a low-profile becomes less important. This becomes especially true when the Russian mob begins to make trouble for his next door neighbor named "Lena" (Iulia Verdes) and her young daughter, "Mya" (Sofia Nicolaescu). Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this turned out to be a fairly enjoyable movie by and large. I especially liked the hard-hitting action scenes involving Steven Seagal and to a lesser extent those featuring Victor Webster (as Lena's half-brother, "Sasha"). Admittedly, however, I didn't particularly care for the ending, Alexander's low-class vernacular or the overall low-budget feel of the movie as a whole. Still, it was good enough for a rainy day I suppose and for the previous reasons mentioned I rate this film as slightly above average.
Joropukki I've seen most of Seagal's films. Director Waxman seems to have found a way to direct him. I won't go into storyline details, just commenting on the production will suffice here.What I liked the best here was the atmosphere. It's gritty and effective, well backed up by music. I wonder why some commentators complain about the amount of action. I think there is enough gore. Most actors are not too great and a sturdy Seagal isn't exactly your special-ops type physically, but on the whole the story carries on well enough. Romania makes for a great place to shoot grit like this. I'll give it seven.
howardc-106-775235 A Good Man is definitely one of Seagals better efforts of recent times.There is no noticeable dubbing and the action scenes are authentic.Black Dawn having the worst Seagal stunt double of all time. The story is easy to follow with Victor Webster showing some neat moves and taking up a large part of the fight scenes. Mr Chang is the villain of the film and when Seagal and Webster go after him the film clicks into top gear. If don't eat steak don't order it and if you don't like Seagal don't watch it-you know what you are going to get.He is a modern John Wayne who takes out the bad guys-looking forward to his next movie now.I award this movie eight out of ten-non Seagal fans maybe will score it 5.Either way it is a good effort.
