End Of A Gun - 2 stars

“End Of A Gun” stars Steven Seagal (“Above The Law”, “Contract To Kill”) and it’s another completely forgettable action flick. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it but everything is just so mediocre and underwhelming that you will have a hard time remembering anything about it once it is all over.

In this film, Seagal plays Decker, a former special agent living in Paris. When he sees a young woman (Jade Ewen) being hurt, he intervenes and soon finds himself in the crosshairs of dangerous gangsters. Decker hopes to steal the gangsters’ money and flee to Florida but he’s not sure who exactly he can trust.

It’s not uncommon to see Seagal look seriously bored in his movies. You get the sense that this was yet another film in which he was just there to collect his money. He does get to fight a few people but none of the sequences are very impressive. The girl in the movie is just there to look attractive and sleep with Seagal’s character. The villains are pretty much as bland as they come. They are not bad by any means but I just cannot remember a single thing about any of them. Has Seagal fought any memorable foes since he went up against Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey in the first “Under Siege”?

“End Of A Gun” represents the underwhelming standard that has defined Seagal’s more recent work. What’s the point of this film? The plot is not remotely interesting, the characters leave no impact, the action sequences are disappointing and some of the dialog is cringeworthy. If you have enjoyed Seagal’s other recent movies such as “Mercenary: Absolution” and “Code Of Honour” then you will probably get a kick out of “End Of A Gun” but everybody else should skip it.
