The magical moment when the biggest action star of the 1990s destroyed his entire career

In season 4 The Simpsons The episode “I love Lisa,” you can identify the second Lisa Simpson Ralph Wiggum half of live TV. In 2002 The other half is deadyou can easily point out that the moment Steven Sea stopped being a wide Blockbuster star, he tied his fate as a direct-to-video every time after its disastrous release.
With a critical 3 percent score on rotten tomatoes, it’s not hard to see why.
I don’t just watch movies. I’m like Alex from Orange watchThe eyes are allowed, forcing him to get the whole frame. My full attention The other half is dead from beginning to end. Anyway, I had to look at Wikipedia after a while just to understand what I saw.
The Metergrinder of Action Movie Tropes
The other half is dead It follows Steven Seagal’s Sasha Petrosevitch, a low-level FBI agent who poses as a Russian car thief to get close to Nick Frazier (RA Rule), a smooth-talking criminal. During the film’s attack, Sasha is shot and nearly dies. His heart stops for 22 minutes, which eventually leads a character in the background to actually say he was “half dead” so you don’t forget the name of the movie you’re watching.
Eight months later, for some reason, Sasha and Nick checked into the newly renovated, heavily fenced, fully Alcatraz as if it were an airport hotel. There, they meet the boss Juan Ruan Ruin “el Fuego” escarzaga (Tony Plasa), a ruthless boss who was taken by his high-tech death chamber.
Meanwhile, inmate Lester Mckenna (Bruce Weitz) is on Deam Row for stealing $200 million in gold and killing five agents. He plans to die without revealing where the money is hidden. As his execution nears, a terrorist group called the 49ers (sigh) storm Alcatraz to steal the cargo and kill anyone in their path.
Oh, and Nick still doesn’t have a clue of the agent arresting him, although there’s no other logical reason for two long-time partners in crime to end up in a high-profile prison.
Guns, Guns, Guns, “Height”
between The other half is deadSteven Seagal and Ja Rule try to take out a friend – superpower and fail miserably. There’s even a running gag about how to properly say “okay.”
By Act three, I expect them to debate whether to play country or rap by walking in commissure as they swim each other’s hands away from the radio dial. SPOEROER: They don’t. But they made fire with many guns.
Naturally, there’s one more friendly test before things get fully heated. Sasha is portrayed as a highly trained FBI agent with a mysterious past who has always been keeping everyone safe using his craft and knowledge unmatched by Alcatraz’s knowledge even though I just got there. It’s a steven seagal movie, so let’s wrap it up.
As of this writing, you can go The other half is dead On Hulu and Tubi. But trust me when I say you shouldn’t.
