Summary: good job
Review: The Patriot is a different type of Seagal film. Sure there is plenty of action (although I would have liked to have seen more) but Steven relies more on his acting skills rather than his martial arts skills. Good thing. He proves not to be just a great action star (like he's already done) but he proves himself to be a damn fine actor as well. This is what drew me in. He has always been good enough to get the job done, but he must have taken lessons since his last one. This is a good film but people may not like it because of the heavy emphasis on drama. I don't know if this made it to theatres or not, but if it didn't, it should've. Steven appears to have lost some weight since Fire Down Below but he looks bigger because he's bundled up in a coat for the first half. It is true what they say, If you don't like this movie, you are probably shallow. It is very enjoyable for enviornmentalists and survivalists. The scenery and photography are wonderful and the villain was okay. Give this one a try but keep an open mind.

Summary: not exciting
Review: This is one of Seagal's lesser efforts. All actors end up in some clunkers and this is one of Steven's. I feel he's been in 12 great movies and so it's not unusual to have some duds. The Patriot, The Foreigner, Out For A Kill, and Ticker are duds, but the other dozen films are worth a look and fun stuff.

Summary: BETTER THAN ''OUT FOR A KILL''? SH*T!
Review: A DOCTOR MUST STOP A DEADLY DISEASE FROM KILLING MILLIONS OF PEOPLE. LET ME JUST ASK THIS, JUST WHO IN THE F*** CARES? THE SUPRISINGLY LOW AMOUNT OF ACTION JUST STOPS THIS MOVIE DEAD IN IT'S TRACKS. SEAGAL SPENDS 95% OF THIS MOVIE TALKING TO PEOPLE. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST PATHETIC EXCUSES FOR A MOVIE! THIS MAKES ''FIRE DOWN BELOW'' SEEM LIKE ''UNDER SIEGE''! STEVEN SEAGAL FANS WILL BE ULTIMATELY DISSAPOINTED BY THIS MOVIE. STEVEN SEAGAL SHOULD FIRST BEAT THE SCREENPLAY WRITER'S A** FOR GIVING HIM THE WORST MATERIAL OF HIS CAREER. AND SEAGAL SHOULD THEN BEAT THE DIRECTOR'S A** FOR RELEASING THIS EMBARRASING MOVIE. THIS MOVIE AIN'T EVEN WORTH RENTING! IT'S MOVIES LIKE THIS THAT CAN KILL A MOVIE STAR'S CAREER. PLEASE, DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS MOVIE. AND PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS MOVIE. I SEE WHY THIS PARTICULAR MOVIE WAS NEVER PUT IN THEATRES.

Summary: Where is the action?
Review: Good story, decent acting, well shot, great score...BUT...Where is the action? Pretty weak and anti-climactic ending.

Summary: It's no "Out For Justice" but better than "Out For A Kill"
Review: Not a lot of action. Not a lot of fights. Not much of anything. Just a bunch of extemists spreading a virus in a small Montana town. But how lucky that town is. There happens to be a martial arts expert who also finds cures for diseases who lives in that town. Steven Seagal looks pretty bored most of the time. It has some minor suspenseful moments here and there. You probably won't go bragging to your friends about how great this movie was. This movies best performance was by the head baddie, Gailard Sartain. (Hollywood Knights, The Real McCoy) He seemed to fit the charactor perfectly.
Definitely not one of Steven Seagal's best. As far as I know, this movie didn't win an Academy Award for best picture, or best screenplay. At least it's better than most Van Damme movies.

Summary: Very poorly made!
Review: In this film Steven Seagal rides around in prairies and visits a secret underground lab to save the world from a viral weapon created by the government. However, the world isn't Earth, because it'd never happen in such a ridiculous way on Earth. For example, at one point the good guys want to distribute a helpful substance to the population. So do they package it in bags and hand it out, or have people come to a station to pick some up? No, they sprinkle it across the town from a helicopter. Good idea!There's almost no subtlety in this film, even when it's really called for. No plot twist comes off as inventive or even interesting, and many outcomes are very easily guessed. There was one moment of anticipation that turned out opposite from how you'd expect, but even that was just sort of cheesy. Character development is pretty much limited to identifying which stereotype a person falls into (disgruntled idealist, concerned doctor, wise native, etc), so that without plot or characters, action is left as the selling point of the film. The action's almost non-existant, and very sporadic. It more or less consists of Seagal occasionally needing to distract a person, grab their gun, and knock them unconscious. And finally, the film's dramatic scenes are poorly done, as they're either really standard and not very forceful at all, or they're done in a strange way that minimizes their effect (for example a potentially thought-provoking scene at the end that's just sort of done in a sappy way). Poorly made.

Summary: "These flowers will stop the virus."
Review: After having watched "Marked for Death," "The Patriot" was quite disappointing. Your initial reaction might be, "Wait a minute. This is a Steven Seagal movie. That means it is going to have lots of action!" Well, you are gravely mistaken. Watch as Steven Seagal makes a fake ID on his home computer! Watch as Steven Seagal fails at finding a cure for the virus! Watch as Steven Seagal fails at assaulting a water dispenser! The only reason why this movie actually earned two stars is that Steven Seagal stabs his enemy in the head with a broken champagne glass...after they have become friends! Unfortunately, there are not very many funny bad lines. One of the few that comes to mind is when the military helicopter sprays flowers at the city (refer to title of review). Additionally, you can watch as Steven Seagal runs like a sissy-boy.

Summary: A highly unlikely solution to a farfetched problem
Review:
There was a real-life problem in Montana not long ago, when the BATF and the FBI came down on a Montana militia outfit on a trumped up charge. This movie starts out where real life left off, except that it depicts the Montana militia as murdering right-wing (naturally!) misfits instead of the more-or-less justified protesters they really were.
In this one, there is a mixed message: First you have the idealistic doctor (Steven Seagal) who has left the government apparently because they were developing "biological weapons" (germ warfare) which he protested--a favorite theme of the "good guys" on the political left. Then, you have the dirty rotten right-wing militia who have obtained a virus that is "ten times stronger than anthrax." Of course, they immediately infect the whole countryside with it. Then, the right-wing radical rednecks come into town in their camos and shoot everyone in sight, trying to get the antidote for the virus which--surprise!--has also infected them. The doctor escapes with his cute little daughter (whose blood the brutes want to make an antidote) and tries to find a vaccine and save the world. Not content with the propaganda they have dished out so far, the producers then throw in a dose of the piece de resistance, the under-appreciated, misunderstood "Native American," whose natural remedy saves the day. A tour de force of Hollywood liberal propaganda. The acting is under par, except for the old veteran actor, L.Q. Jones. Joseph Pierre

Summary: How can this even be in release?
Review: Terrible film. Does a real disservice to the excellent Mel Gibson movie of the same name. How is this possible, just such a short time between releases of the same title? Should be a law against it!
