This is the first two episodes of a Canadian TV series where Steven Seagal (minus the pony tail) plays Elijah Kane, a special undercover policeman. Kane leads a group of plains clothes cops who work only the big crimes in Seattle.
In this episode, the Russian mafia is dealing heroin through strip joints and have a run in with Cajuns just to make it interesting...or at least an attempt. Elijah is strong as an ox, has the eyes of an eagle, and sharp like a tack with the wit of a hamster. Yes, the dialouge was bad. It was dry and lacked any cleverness, worse than most TV programs.
However this film isn't all about closeups of Seagal to show case his talents. His crew gets equal time. The problem is we don't know who they are. The first episode should spend time introducing the characters, this one assumes you know who everyone is, except for Sara (Sarah Lind) the "newbie" with a "nice rack." The film has an interesting "Witness" moment which was a plus.
Seattle makes for a nice backdrop along with historic Camp Harmony. This series has been heavily pirated and shows up in a lot of places. I was surprised to see episode 1 and 2 on Redbox.
In later episodes LA gangs are dealing designer drugs through dance clubs. Seagal is the creator and lead writer. I think that speaks for itself.
Parental guide: No f-bombs, sex, or nudity. Strippers in bra/g-string type costumes.
