General Commander - a review!

Steven Seagal movies are always hit and miss. Some, like Under Siege and Exit Wounds, are fantastic, and others, well not so much. I remember watching Shadow Man, where he downed a helicopter by shooting it with a pistol. It's ridiculous, silly and just so out there, that you just can't help but love it. This time, the mighty Seagal is a GRS operative named Jake Alexander. Him and his team of young recruits go after the most dangerous and notorious criminals with the help of a Hong Kong billionaire. That's the premise, now is it any good?

Well, in short terms: No. It is bad. Like, shockingly bad! I REALLY need to look up the movie on IMDb, before buying it.

Apart from Seagal, Sonia Couling, Byron Gibson, Soraya Torrens, Megan Brown, Jai Day and Edoardo Costa fill out the rest of the main cast,

Edoardo plays Orsini, the crime boss and the main villain in this film. He's actually pretty good in this one. He's a CLASSIC Italian mafia guy: Luxury pads on Malta, wine and pasta. Did I say classic? I meant stereotypical. He's into artwork as well. It just doesn't get more cliché than that!

The thing that the movie DOES get plus points on, is the locations where they film. Hong Kong, Valetta and Manila. Exotic locations, that are extremely good looking on film!

The score of this "masterpiece" is 3-5 out of 10 on IMDb, and I feel like it's too generous. I have seen worse films than this one, but still, General Commander ranks VERY much at the bottom of the barrel.

1.5 out of 10. I never want to see this abomination again, for as long as I live. Even the explosions and the gunfights are lackluster.
