Steven Seagal (“Black Dawn”, “Into The Sun”) stars in “A Good Man”, another corny action flick. If you have seen any of Seagal’s films since the early 2000s then you know exactly what to expect. The film was directed by Keoni Waxman (“Hunt To Kill”), who has worked with Seagal on numerous projects including “Maximum Conviction” and “Mercenary: Absolution”.

Alexander (Seagal) is a soldier on a mission to execute two targets. He kills one but the other escapes unscathed. He leaves the Special Forces and goes to live in Bucharest where he befriends Lena (Iulia Verdes), the girl living in the apartment next to his. He discovers that she is in serious trouble with Russian mobsters and he must use his specialist skills to protect her.

Seagal waddles around slapping his enemies. He never looks convincing during any of the action sequences. He frequently wears a trench coat in this film (even while making love). He’s still whispering most of the dialog too. The Lena character is okay. There are a lot of villains in this film as we have Islamic terrorists, a Chinese arms dealer (Tzi Ma “Rush Hour”, “Arrival”), Russian gangsters, a paedophile and a corrupt Romanian cop. The main one is Mr. Chen, the arms dealer. Tzi Ma is marginally enjoyable as the bad guy. The other characters in the film are very forgettable.

“A Good Man” is your typical Seagal film with cheesy dialog, a generic plot and lacklustre action scenes. You find yourself laughing at just how absurd it is that an overweight Seagal fumbling around is able to defeat so many bad guys. If you’re a big fan of Seagal then this is another one to add to the collection but for everybody else, there’s nothing here that’s going to make you change your mind about Seagal.
