This one was a bit out of the norm for Steven Seagal but was still a very watchable, enjoyable story. True, it was as cheesy as a bowl of white queso at your favorite Mexican restaurant, but I still thought it was a fun watch. Seagal looked so awkward wearing those slick Japanese-tailored clothes around small-town Kentucky that you had to wonder if it was intentionally done to make the story even goofier. The storyline itself was nothing superb and could have been told in a much shorter amount of time, but it was still interesting enough and well-acted that it kept my attention. Not sure if Marg Helgenberger actually put on weight for this movie, or if she dropped a lot of weight prior to her role as Katherine in the TV series CSI but it was great to see her acting the part of a "good ol' country girl", complete with a tiny hint of an accent. Cameo appearances by country music stars Marty Stuart, Randy Travis, and Travis Tritt all made it even more interesting, and even for a off-the-wall story like this one, they wound up inserting some decent fight scenes for Seagal. This was the second time I've watched this one (first one being years ago) and I actually found it more interesting this time around. It probably wouldn't be for "everyone", but for fans of Steven Seagal, if you can find this somewhere online or in a bargain bin somewhere, I would add it to your collection. Like me, you'll probably need to give it time in-between viewings, but I would definitely watch this one again.
