I just returned from seeing half past dead and walked out getting exactly what I expected. I would compare it to glimmer man and fire down below in the sense that it was entertaining but lacked what the earlier seagal movies gave to us. I hope that in the next two that seagal has in the works, that he goes back to what he does best which is punishing everyone without all the special effects and quick edits.
