Hard to Kill

HARD TO KILL (1990) - Sept. 4, 2007
A cheesy and surprisingly slow-paced film about a cop whose family is killed and who, after coming out of a coma seven years later, vows revenge. Aside from a pretty good scene in which Seagal takes down a bunch of thugs in a convenience store (which has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the film, but which is still probably the highlight), pretty much nothing happens for the whole first hour. The film is blandly directed and badly dated (particularly the score). Steven Seagal's performance essentially consists of him squinting and whispering all his lines, which makes it kind of hard to really care about his character. There's some decent action towards the end, but it can't quite redeem the film. **
