A skilled soldier of fortune discovers a force more dangerous than any he's encountered in this action thriller. Chris Cody (Steven Seagal) is a top-ranked mercenary who took part in an undercover ope... read more read more...ration to scuttle a major terrorist strike on U.S. soil. However, Cody had to break a number of laws in order to do the job, and he's residing in a military prison when he's given an offer by the United States government. Cody and his crew will have their sentenced commuted and receive 100,000 dollars each if they can capture a notorious terrorist who has kidnapped five American soldiers and bring them home. Cody agrees, but he soon learns that there's more to the five soldiers than he's been led to believe -- they're actually the products of a secret C.I.A. experiment in mind control, and have been programmed to become ruthless killing machines with the right commands. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Not all bad, especially with the ideal casting of legit badass Vinnie Jones in it. The story and fight scenes are pretty good in this, making it worth a viewing. I can't stress enough how supremely bad Vinnie is. He beats guys to death with his bare hands and has the best lines i... read moren this thing.

    Chris Cody (Steven Seagal), the world's best counter-terrorist agent, is released from prison-but there's a catch, Him and his crack team of soldiers must work out the reason an American Ambassador was assassinated by the Secret Service. They run into hostile fire from an enemy f... read moreorce but come out for the better and take some prisoners with them, only to learn that these men were soldiers from another unit that mysteriously vanished that have now become vicious, maniacal killing monsters. They dig deeper into the conspiracy and finds it leads all the way to a twisted doctor (Nick Brimble) and his mind control experiments and soon find themselves in a desperate fight for their lives.
    Submerged floats tantalizingly just above the "It's complete crap" zone and manages, incredibly, to be reasonably entertaining. For me, the saving graces of this movie are Vinnie Jones and William Hope. Hope shows here that he is a pretty good actor and Jones just cracks me up with his Brit-Thug routine. Sadly, though there is one attempt at a knife fight on board a submarine, the result is not that pleasing. The rest of the movie is mostly gunfights and Jones beating the crap out of people, not Seagal. But overall, this is a very sloppy production.

...a huge step backwards for erstwhile action star Steven Seagal... Full Review

So awful and incompetently made that I shut it off halfway through. The kind of straight-to-DVD Grade-Z junk that epitomizes Seagal's career in recent years.
