A Good Man (2014)

Genre: Action

Directed by: Keoni Waxman

Starring: Steven Seagal, Victor Webster, Tzi Ma

Running time: 103 minutes

The leader of a failed cover operation joins Sasha, a man forced to work for the Russian Mafia to pay off his father’s debt, to protect Sasha’s two younger sisters against Mr. Chen, an arms dealer.

The lack of subtlety, the bad acting, the clichés, the over-the-top martial arts; this movie has everything any Steven Seagal flick has ever had. Watching this one with my dad over the weekend, we got a good chuckle out of the fact that Seagal must have been cold at all times. Even when he was indoors, having a beer, he had that big leather jacket zipped up. He must have gone to the modern Axl Rose school of thought about layering clothes. Even at the end, when he was making out with a girl, a gross scene that made no sense, he still had the leather protection.

Really, in spite of the comic relief it provided, I recommend skipping this one.
