Black Dawn [DVD] [2006]

Good film

A great watch

Got this for mu husband for Christmas, we both sat and watched it, a great film, a collector of Steven Seagal, and found this to be one of the best in the collection really enjoyed this film.

Hubby liked it

Should need to pay to watch this. Advised parents to avoid prime video to avoid accidental purchases

His Lordness, the good Sir Steven of Seagal trumps us direct-to-video couch potatoes with an actual sequel to one of his earlier straight to disc masterpieces: The Foreigner. Yeah, I can see fans were jumping 'round their living rooms counting down the hours until our new hero Jonathon Cold would indeed return for a much needed follow up. Or, you could have been a bit like me: Woke up following a week long beer 'n dips binge, rolled out of bed and fell down the stairs - landing in the hallway where this seismic blast of a movie was awaiting me. And I think there was an old Dorito stuck to my back......Anyhoo, The Lord is Jonathon Cold - a no nonsense former-CIA agent who now works freelance offering his services to the highest bidder (you may remember him from his previous movie 'The Foreigner' if you could stay awake, that is). This time, he's hired by arms dealer Donovan (Julian Stone) to break his brother out of prison - who thank Cold by asking him to help sell parts for a small nuclear bomb to Nicholi, the leader of a rogue Chechen group. These dastardly terrorists are planning to blow up LA, but little do they know that our man Cold is deep, deep undercover and ready to pounce! Meanwhile, John's former protegé, Amanda (Tamara Davies) is also is spying on the Donovan's and gets caught up in their gun-blasting crossfire, with Cold taking her along for the ride... As the clock continues to tick, the duo attempt to stop the dastardly Nicholi from blowing up LA, but will they catch this villain in time? Will Tamara Davies get a new agent? Does The Lord have a wardrobe full of six foot tall leather jackets in his wardrobe? Inquiring minds needed to know...Action cinematographer Alexander Gruszynski ('Stone Cold', 'Maximum Risk' and 'The Craft') turns his hand to low budget wonders with this Seagal sequel, which I assume was to be the start of a franchise but as The Lord can only play one person - they obviously felt there was no point. To be fair to him, his Lordness does seem to be making an effort in this one and the screenplay by Martin Wheeler ('7 Seconds') is a fast paced number and combined with Gruszynski's sharp direction - everything zips along without too much boredom setting in. Also, Seagal is favourably supported by both Timothy Carhart and the excellent Tamara Davies, who if there were any justice would have been given top billing as she's the only one the audience can relate to and frankly a better actor than our man Steve (shhhhhh, don't tell anyone).Sony's UK DVD release sports a fine transfer with suitably good audio, but little to no extra features. All in all, this is a long way from The Lord's previous output and fans of 'Out for Justice' or 'Marked for Death' may find themselves scratching their head as what the hell just happened, but as a marginally late in the game, no budget actioner, its a little higher on the crapola barometer than say 'Attack Force' or 'Flight of Fury'. Recommended for a one-shot watch, especially for the relatively cheap price Amazon are asking for it - sure, it ain't gonna rock your world or make you wanna dye your hair black and go around talking in a quiet, whispery southern drawl - but its fine for an hangover.

Received on time, well satisfied.

Yes it as come

Tutto perfetto

rien à redire, c'est conforme à ce que je voulais et il bien arrivé pour la hotte du père noel

un steven egal a lui meme depuis quel que tempps!!!mais malgré tout ce que dise les critiques,moi j'aime!!!je suis fan de steven meme si ses films ne sont pas toujours au top.celui ci se laisse voir sans probleme,malgré le doublage en francais pas toujours bien retranscrit.

前作のほうは、アクションもふんだんにあってよかったけど完結してたはずじゃなかったのねいろんな意味で裏切って登場してくれたこの作品だけど、正直、もうだめｗセガール好きのオレでも、途中で眠くなったコレクターさん以外にはオススメできないかな電撃の続編とかのがよかったと個人的には思う

I collect alot of steven seagal dvds, and this is one of the beat action pack dvds. a good story, that keeps you to your tv. so if you are steven seagal fan, you will want to get this dvd.
