Movie Reviews of Half Past Dead
Movie Review: Better than I thought it would be but nothing too impressive
Summary: 2 Stars
When I first saw the trailer for Half Past Dead I thought film would be allright but then I found it was PG-13 and named it a stinker on arrival. I'll admit my opinon was wrong while the film isn't Segal's best it's not his worst either. The action seqeunces in the film are okay, I think there could have been more martial arts fights and Ja Rule is good as alwayas. Morris Chestnut makes a good bad guy (he hasn't played one since The Inkwell) and Kurput is good in his small role. The film is full of errrors and non believeable stunts but if you're willing to look past that and just wanna waste 90 min then do so with this film. It's not bad or good just aight.
Summary of Half Past Dead
Despite critical roasting and a blink-and-you-missed it theatrical release, Half Past Dead is surprisingly not half bad. Once you recognize this bastard child's recent action-flick heritage (The Rock being the most obvious of a dozen pilfered plot lines), you can kick back and enjoy the unexpected perks that arise when a deep-cover FBI sleuth (Steven Seagal) accompanies a convicted crook (rapper Ja Rule) into "New Alcatraz" prison. A death-row killer (Bruce Weitz) sits on a $200 million goldmine, keeping his secret as a bargaining chip when criminal commandos (led by the ever-cool Morris Chestnut) drop in for a lethally greedy raid. After cutting his teeth on trashy, short-lived TV series, director Don Michael Paul can't do much to help the puffy, career-tanking Seagal, but he's got lively allies in Ja Rule and alleged "has-been" Nia Peeples (forget Lara Croft, this babe rocks), and even legendary action-TV producer Stephen J. Cannell drops in for a cameo. Derivative from the get-go, but fun just the same. --Jeff ShannonAction & Adventure DVD Video
