Of course, moments before hisexecution a group of terrorists come and take the whole place over.
Years earlier he stole two hundred million dollars in USgold brick and hasn’t told where it is. Meanwhile, the first convict to be executed at New Alcatraz has a secretof his own. The two are sent to… wait for it… the recently reopenedAlcatraz! That’s a great idea! Let’s take “The Rock” and put a spin onit! Sasha survives some wounds only to bedeclared half past dead which for some reason deserved the title of themovie. Two fellowpartners in crime Sasha (Seagal) and Nick (Ja Rule) are arrested by theFBI after a failed car boost. You want a story summary? Well… I’ll try the best I can. Does it work a second time or has Seagal reached the bottom ofthe barrel? I think you know what the answer is. Segal tries to repeat the “pair an action star with a hip, fresh rapper”formula set in his last effort Exit Wounds (where he was teamed withDMX who can be seen in the recent and decent Cradle 2 the Grave withJet Li). There are some theatrical releases in this world that deserved to beeither canned or doomed to video.Which one is this abysmal Steven Seagal hogwash? I’d have to say neither becausethis film deserved to have been Half Past Dead a long time ago… alright that was a bad pun.
