Matcollis This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

Solidrariol Am I Missing Something?

Bluebell Alcock Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Leofwine_draca ABSOLUTION is another in the absolutely endless wave of action thrillers made in the past few years starring Steven Seagal and invariably shot in some East European country; this time it's Romania. Seagal plays the usual former special forces guy who moves in to help save a girl from the mob, only to find a sinister conspiracy in place surrounding a popular nightclub. Anyone familiar with the modern-era Seagal will know to expect shaking camera fights and plenty of doubling, with the hefty protagonist now one of the worst things about his own films. The rest is just about passable, with the likable Byron Mann (a Seagal regular) doing well as the second hero and Vinnie Jones randomly playing a serial killer in scenes that feel like they belong in a different movie. The fights are refreshingly gruesome with lots of justice meted out to the bad guys.

Man99204 No one has ever accused Steven Segal of being an accomplished actor. Even by the modest modest expectations, this is one of Sega's worst movies in decades.Someone should take Segal aside and explain to him, slowly if needs be,that it is no longer 1988. That he is now a 64 year old man who is now a generation too old and a hundred pounds too heavy to play roles like this.There is nothing about "Aging Gracefully" in this movie. Segal embodies every bad cliché' about vain older men from the shoe polish black black black hair to the absurdly ORANGE face make up. He tries to look "butch" and " macho" in a series of black leather outfits. He ends up looking more like an overstuffed sofa.The only reason to see this movie is to check out what has to be some of the WORST make up done in any movie in the last generation. Segal's face glows a bright carrot orange while his neck is a pale white.. The demarcation line is shockingly evident.The movie was filmed in Romania with a mixed bag of local talent. Byron Mann plays the "Asian Sidekick" who does all the heavy lifting when it comes to doing actual stunts. He also manages to steal every scene he is in with Segal.Do yourself a favor... pass on this big stinking pile. IF you must watch this kind of movie, then go back and watch something Segal did twenty-five years ago.

freddiewit Apart from his superhuman (untouchable) nature in most movies (even against the best of opponents), I like Segal's movies and this is not an exception. If anything, this is better than many of his past movies and I could not believe the low rating on here.For the benefit of those that are not that picky and just want some reasonable action, read my brief review below.FOR:I am giving it 8/10 because of:The suspense (was good enough) - The action (not the best choreography but enjoyable)AGAINST:The main thing I have against this movie is the bad acting of some of the actors/actresses especially the non-Americans.

namashi_1 A sequel to A Good Man, 'Absolution' is a routine action film, that has some absorbing moments. The storytelling is very 1980's, although some of the action bits are sharp. 'Absolution' Synopsis: John Alexander (Steven Seagal) is a contract killer. After encountering a girl on the run from a mob boss (Vinnie Jones) with powerful political connections, he is torn between protecting the girl and remaining loyal to the government agency that hired him for a mission.'Absolution' clearly lacks an innovative script, but all said and done, some of it works. Especially the second-hour, where there is good scope for some hardcore, bloody action. Keoni Waxman's Direction is decent. Cinematography is standard. Editing is okay. Performance-Wise: Steven Seagal is as usual, but he looks completely out of shape. Byron Mann does some terrific action here & is also the scene-stealer. Vinnie Jones is reduced into a loud villain. Adina Stetcu is average.On the whole, 'Absolution' is, at best, a passable watch.
