Summary: Simply Bad, But I Tried to Find Something Good, And...
Review: I have seen all of his films, but after watching "The Patriot" twice (once in theater and once on video), I must say this is one of Steven Seagal's worst movies that came on screen (but not THE worst, since much more terrible "Ticker" is coming on).Steven Seagal tends to throw several unnecessary factors into his movies. "The Glimmer Man" is an action-packed-with-"Seven"-like-thriller movie, and his debut as a director "One Deadly Ground" is about a guy who literally fights for the Earth's environment. Now again we see in "The Patriot" a misguided idea of putting lethal virus, militia, and martial arts together. So in "The Patriot" you will see Seagal a) look through a microscope; b) ride a horse; c) break a wineglass and a bad guy's neck too. How can you put these incongruous things into order? And as for virus, some people find the ending of "The Outbreak" not convincing enough; they will change their mind after watching the incredible conclusion of "The Patriot," which remains secret for your unexpected joy. The film's saving grace comes from the beautiful shot of landscape in Montana. The director is Dean Semler, who is awarded Oscar for cinematography of "Dances with Wolves," but I don't think the beautiful backdrop is what you want here. And look closely, you can find Seagal's real-life daughter Ayako Fujitani (credited as Ayako Seagal) as Seagal's assistant in the doctor's office.

Summary: um...
Review: I would just like to ask one question: why does this movie exist? and I answer myself, because after sitting through the hour and a half or so of a horrible script, no action and the putrid stank of segals poor acting attempt it is not possible to not laugh like crazy at the unbelivable and ludicris ending either because you are more bored than you have been in years, because you feel really bad about the money and time wasted on this movie and want to justify renting it(for god sakes I hope not buying), because you have gone completely psyco and confused because of the movie or all of the above as it was for me. this movie is not good for your psycological well-being. Please stay as far away from this movie as you can.

Summary: this movie is just not right...
Review: ok, what can I say. THIS MOVIE IS HORRIBLE! who ever thought of segal as a serious actor??? this is the most stupid and boring movie I have ever seen!!! I found myself wanting to go and do dishes or mow the lawn or vaccume the floor or do somthing besides watch this poor excuse for a movie but I sat it out in hopes there would at least be some pointless action in the end like there always is in segals movies. Boy was I disappionted! when it got to the end I couldnt belive what I was watching. (tea leaves from the heavens???) what is this garbage???? for god sakes spare yourself the tourture of watching this movie.

Summary: A cliched, trite and ludicrous film
Review: Exit Wounds grossed US$19.2 million on its first weekend. This defies belief, that subsequent to a film like The Patriot, which was released straight onto video and HBO, a movie starring Steven Seagul could earn money. The Patriot is undoubtedly one of the worst films I have ever seen. Everything concerning its existence is wrong. The acting is bad, even by B-movie standards (C-movie anyone?); half the movie presents us with endless fields rather than action or anything to further the extremely thin and laughable plot (almost non-existent); the cure for the plague had me reeling for laughter (how could any stuido accept this film?), the totally illogical occurrences and ridiculous actions by numerous characters leaves one in tears, the scenes are disjointed and form an incoherent, implausible and almost stress-inducing collage of tripe which does not in any way connect to form a watchable film; the stale, prosaic idiocy of the whole thing is mind-numbing; when characters die, there is no sentimental attachment to them whatsoever despite the obviously inadquate director's and writer's efforts; the viewer can actually see through the transparent facade and see how they are being manipulated by this highly contrived material that suits people with an IQ that could be mistaken for a shoe size... I honestly could go on forever, but I think I have done my job. I am not being notoriously critical, nor am I being biased or blatantly one-sided. There are no positive points pertaining to The Patriot. If you want to watch a Steven Seagul movie, choose any but this one. If you want an entertaining and relatively intelligent medical thriller, pick up Outbreak. But not this. Oh Lord, no.

Summary: Seagal's worst movie?
Review: Until Exit Wounds did well Steven Seagal was a former first rate action star who looked to be going the direct to video route of so many other action has beens, and there is a very good reason this movie in particular never came out in theaters. It is a truly lackluster suspense thriller about a militia group unleashing a lethal virus in the town where Seagal just happens to live and practice medicine. The movie takes forever to get moving and the action is sporadic. I miss the days when Seagal spent most of his screen time kicking the snot out of creepy villians with his lighting fast moves. And the ending had me laughing so hard I was crying. I did enjoy The Patriot on a bad movie level, but I would be hard pressed to watch it again.

Summary: Pity the Poor Fool who Mistakes this for Mel's "Patriot".
Review: Pathetic in every respect. I am a Huge Steven Seagal Fan, I Love all his movies, bar this one. He plays a cook in "Under Siege", a cook who Kills, as he was a Navy Seal. So that was Plausable. In "The Patriot", he plays a Small Town Doctor, a town doctor who doesn't kill, as this movie is also boring, and far more Unplausable. Who is Seagal trying to please, his fans will be disappointed because he hardly fights, his critics will be disappointed again because if they hate his others, they'll burn this, like I wanted to do. Take "On Deadly Ground" and "Fire Down Below", strip the violence, add... an Hour and a Half of Sheer boredom, and you have it. Treat this film like a disease and Stay Away.

Summary: The Patriot /Steven Segall
Review: Appalling; no other word for it. Preposterous plot; uneven acting (though perhaps not too much the actors fault, given the inane script); cliched, mawkish nonsense. Not only is the plot--where it exists--beyond belief, the linkage between events is frequently nonexistent. Gorgeous little ever smiling goody-two-shoes for a daughter--with of course a tragically dead mother who we pine for--over playing the adoring daddy's girl till one wants to slug her; every hackneyed stereotype in the book. A movie that purports to deal with science--one assumes deal with it seriously, since the danger is a significant one--but in a manner so absurd as to be laughable. A desperately needed, fully equipped microbiology lab conveniently located down a rat hole in the middle of the prairie!--why not? And then the solution--of course assisted by ancient Indian wisdom--flowers from helicopters!! A deadly virus has people dropping like flies and the cure is flower petals from heaven??? What in God's name can Seagal have been thinking?! Is this a movie or some kind of cryptic joke?

Summary: I timed it! less than 30 seconds of fighting!
Review: Seagal is a fantastic Aikido master. He makes wonderful movies and even though he only plays the same one character over and over he seems to do it well. This movie however has next to no action 27.28 seconds of fighting not including when he grabs somebody and puts a knife to their throats. Not only was the movie void of fighting, but it was flat out stupid. The acting is poor the plot is poor and the end is insulting. (the cure is flower pedal tea that knocks the plague out of you in minutes). Yeah, I almost believe that. Get another Seagal movie, most of them are okay. this one defies the norm.

Summary: Come with an open mind
Review: This is an honest look at what fast technology can do to innocent people. Short sighted science exists and any attempt to alert the public to its dangers is NEVER wasted. Flowers dropping from the heavens was a little hard to take, but overall the film is very worth watching. Hurray to Seagal for trying something new; it takes courage.
