Steven Seagal's 'Code Of Honor' Starts Production

I’m generally in the minority on this front, but I still consider Steven Seagal a viable movie star. His output isn’t as consistently top notch as early in his career, when he stormed the world with films like Above the Law, Hard to Kill, Marked for Death, and Out for Justice, which are still his best, and were followed directly by Under Siege. It hasn’t even been as strong as his best DTV run in the early part of the millennium. Still, I get a faint stir of excitement in my belly when I hear of a new Seagal project, and that happened again today as his latest, Code of Honor, has started production.

DVD Review: 'Maximum Conviction'

 

I’m a huge Steven Seagal fan, and have been for most of my life at this point. Films like “Out For Justice”, “Under Siege”, and “Hard to Kill” rank among my all-time favorites, and with a scarce few exceptions, I’ve seen every movie the man has made. Even with these qualifications, it’s getting harder and harder to watch the man’s new work. Over the last few years he’s become a bloated caricature of his former self, and nowhere is that more evident than in his new direct-to-video offering, “Maximum Conviction”.
