i liked this movie and thought it was one of his best DTV releases to date but it doesnt feel complete, seagal of course used stunt doubles in this but this time it was for the whole fight and he used a stand in everytime the camera was behind him and theres a part where a ufc fighter randy couture has a cameo where he answers a door and seagl beats him up which i thought was kinda funny and very random, the good news is that he isnt dubbed that much only about 5 lines which is a great relief, wish i could say the same about the doubles tho out of all his movies he uses one the most in this, overall its not as good as belly of the beast but its def worth checkin out if ur a fan

I didn't notice any dubbing, which part was that? I also didn't notice any stock footage, maybe it's because I've never seen those scenes before.

the scene where he slies down the rope into the buliding in the begining is from a van damme movie "The Order" and the car chase is from some peter weller movie from the 90's and there wasnt much dubbing but when the car blows up and seagal says "yes i have but that works better" is a dub and when hes in jail on the phone talking to his wife and he says "did anyone search the area" thats dubbed too and about 4 more lines in the movie are dubbed but thats it

I heard that he was generally very lazy in the production of this movie. Coming late and leaving early.. Having way too much stand ins and using stuntmen for his fights..
The Question is why watch it? Well because it says Seagal on the Cover and I am still a fan.. I saw there is a Under Siege 3 planned.. I hope he does some of his work for himself in that movie.. Because this used to be the fun.. watch HIM beat somebody up and not some stuntman... In most fights you could only see 'him' fighting below the head.. so I guess it was somebody else..
But, still a fan and in regards to his other Direct to DVD Titles this one was one of the best.. and I thought that 'the foreigner' was one of the worst..

i dont think warner wants to work with seagal again from what i read in an article about exit wounds seagal and the crew didnt get a long cause seagal was never on set and when he actually was on set he was in his trailer when they needed him and would just try to do everything his own way
