Steven Seagal plays Michael Decker, an ex-DEA agent who was forced out. He claims he is "a ghost" as he drives around Paris. He finds a pretty girl in distressed (Jade Ewen) and gets involved in a highly improbable situation. He kills a guy in self defense who deals meth from Texas... seriously, I can make meth in my kitchen from stuff I can find in a dumpster, and they get it from Texas. There was some money involved and the bad guys arrive in Paris from Texas before Seagal can have sex and drive across town. The scene I liked best was when Seagal walks toward a parking lot window about 3-4 stories high with a concrete wall, the next thing you see is Seagal's back as his comes throw the window feet first. Did they make this to be funny or were they clueless on how it would look? Seagal comes out with some good lines...for Seagal anyway. He did some monologues. The title has nothing to do with gun control. Steven has a couple of physical fight scenes. The first one he barely has to move and the one at the end it looks like they sped up the film and did a cut away. Either way he moved more than in recent films.Guide: F-word. Was that sex? No nudity

Steven Seagal's 'End of a Gun' from 2016 is an above-average sleek and briskly paced action-thriller from longtime Seagal collaborator Keoni Waxman, on his ninth film as director with the action star (plus several episodes of the 'True Justice' TV series) to date, and he again delivers a visually slick product and a good modern showcase for the aging action hero that proves there's life in the ol' dog yet.Set in France and involving stolen money belonging to a vicious crime boss, '...Gun' is more of a stylish thriller with light heist elements than a full-blooded action blow-out, delivering a story that allows for plenty of double-crossing betrayals, and while it might not be the most original or gripping of tales, it moves along much more breezily and has a bit more of a sense of fun than many of the action star's other grittier films. But, of course, it still provides several breaks to slot in Steven's usual bone crunching hand-to-hand fights and punchy shootouts, and there's plenty of amusing sly lines littered throughout the script to raise a little smile here and there to keep your attention.The film has much to recommend it for long-time devoted Steven Seagal fans, not least a genuinely committed and fairly relaxed lead performance from the action star this time around, so that means none of the dreaded re-dubbing that has plagued many of the recent direct to video efforts that the star seemed less interested in, and it certainly offers more than being a mere extended cameo being sold on his name (hello, 'The Perfect Weapon' and 'Sniper: Special Ops', looking at you!). But the film is helped immensely by three co-stars, with the gorgeous and effortlessly flirty Jade Ewen as Steven's partner-in-crime, Florin Piersic Jr as a coolly psychopathic henchman and Ovidiu Niculescu as an old acquaintance of Seagal's on the local police force. Some guilty laughs also come in the form of Alexandre Nguyen's incompetent pretty-boy hired help (hilariously called Pee Wee!) who insists on wearing a cowboy hat, much to the embarrassment of his fellow cronies, and it's touches like this that really liven the film up.The film is not without its issues. Some viewers will hardly find the film truly captivating, it could have done with more lackeys for Seagal to beat senseless, and the mysterious faceless big-bad villain Mr Vargas is completely forgotten about by the end of the film - sequel perhaps? But the lean running time of just over 85 minutes means 'End of a Gun' dashes along at a spry pace, and it again shows Waxman constantly honing his skills and delivering one of his most polished efforts to date, one that also offers just a little change of pace for Seagal that will appeal to those most devoted of fans who still support his modern direct-to-video period.Seven out of ten.

There was a time when Steven Seagal could set the box-office on fire & leave the action-movie fans to ripples. I was & still remain a fan of this man, despite his career having declined & his appearances strictly seen on direct-to-DVD films. And 'End of a Gun', his 5th film in this busy year, is a mediocre film, that doesn't even improve as it progresses. Its got a fairly decent plot, but it makes almost nothing out of it.'End of a Gun' Synopsis: A former federal agent crosses paths with a drug kingpin's enforcer after he saves a woman from danger.Keoni Waxman's Writing & Direction disappoints. Waxman has made many movies with Seagal, but this time he stumbles. Of the cast, Seagal delivers adequately. Jade Ewen looks hot & performs ordinarily. But its Ovidiu Niculescu, who's splendid as Seagal's old friend & is easily the best thing about the film.On the whole, 'End of a Gun' is a missed opportunity.

You cant say that there is ever a drought when it comes to Seagal. Unlike JCVD, Stallone or Arnold who are a little more selective in the movies they make and we are lucky to get 1 or 2 movies a year from the action heroes of yesterday, Seagal has had 3 releases in the past month and i think 4 or 5 this year. The problem with such a high output of product is the standard isn't very high. Biggest complaints with Seagal is that he is marketed and billed as the star of the movie and then he ends up in the movie for a total running time of 20 or 30 minutes (if we are lucky), and even then he is usually heavily doubled with the body and voice. I never understood this lack of quality control or respect for his fans to put out something so substandard. But in recent years we have occasionally got a decent one that reminds us that if Seagal is in the hands of a capable director, he can still put out a decent action film. Unlike the releases this year Sniper, Code of Honour, Asian Connection, Killing Salazar & The Perfect Weapon (Both in the last week), Seagal is actually the lead, i would say he is in at least 70 minutes of the 90 minute running time and there is minimal dubbing. He seemed interested in the movie, it was set in Paris and he gets a couple of decent fights (even if the doubles are still present). A couple of smart one liner jokes, this was a decent effort and would say, skip his other 6 releases this year (particularly Killing Salazar and Sniper) and support this one with a purchase. Keoni Waxman is a DTV director that knows how to shoot action, he knows how to get the best out of Seagal. Seagal should make every movie with him. As a DTV release I would say 7/10... compared to every other Seagal movie released in the past 12-15 months, this one is definitely the best one.
