Seagal looks grossly overweight and arthritic to boot. The direction is comically choppy, inept, and clichéd. The script is a semi-coherent agglomeration of clichés.Even the sound editing is incompetently done. In one scene Seagal's knife manages to make a locked-open clicking sound while it's still only about half open.In short, it's difficult to find ANYTHING that's properly done in this movie.My two star rating is strictly a tribute to the entertainment afforded by the campy ineptitude of this movie, not any merit one might attribute to a movie in the conventional sense.

This Steven Seagal film is a perfect medicine for your insomnia! Just like any other of his films from 2000s. Just play this and voilà! Straight to sleep DVD! No problem. Seagal plays a freelance agent who gets screwed because of a package that is of high interest of mob, politics, blah blah... The film is nothing but walking, or driving around, with few boring fighting scenes... Seagal is really slow, monotone... he is not interesting anymore. Please, man, go retire while you still can, go and start an Aikido dojo in LA, or where ever, I think that's for the best. I really love Seagal's films, but at some point you need to stop. I don't understand, why insisting on continuing to work on some dumb movies that nobody wants to watch. There's nothing to say about this film, I mean what can you say about C film, straight to DVD feature. It's boring, makes you feel dizzy and finally BUMP! Sleeping...

Maybe I'm just a sucker for Seagal movies but this is one of my favorites. Ronin was an obvious antecedent, both movies sharing the same mysterious Package and totally amoral world-view resulting in a virtually plot less series of action scenes reminiscent of the the blockbuster action movies of the 90s on.Foreigner does add the Damsel in distress angle and folds it in well in order to provide a positive denouement and there are the usual rivalry and betrayal themes common to the genre, which are also played out well and, frankly, every time I've watched it, it's drawn me in and kept me interested.From what I read in reviews in general and most of these here, about Foreigner, Seagal movies appear to be either an acquired or simply a personal taste so I'm not going argue with those who have written the majority of these reviews.Point of posting this review: there are actually people who enjoy these movies.

Even though Seagal movies have become less and less entertaining as he gets older, this one is an exception for it had us on the edge of our seats....but for the wrong reason.The plot is Seagal plays Jonathan Cold, a rogue agent who's sent to retrieve a "package" and deliver it to its rightful client. Sounds simple doesn't it....wrong. This movie becomes convoluted with plot twists, heel turns, face turns and so much sub-plot that you really have no one to cheer for.Donsoir, Mimms, Van Eagan, Seagal himself...you really can't tell who's the real bad guy and who's not. In fact Seagal spends half the movie trying to kill Donsoir and the other half working with him....and not in the same order either. One scene he tries to kill him...later on in the movie they work together to storm Van Eagan's mansion.I know Seagal's like 80 lbs heavier than in his heydey but that doesn't mean he has to subject us to a plot like this. Its just way too confusing. I can figure out the plot, I'm sure a few others can too...but for the general public, they'll be left scratching their heads. Plus, with characters trying to team up or kill Seagal at an alarming rate, you have no one to get behind and cheer for.The highlight of the movie is Donsoir with a cigarette in his mouth or hand basically the whole film, like Lumbergh's coffee mug in Office Space.4 out of 10
