Maximum Conviction

Steven Seagal & Steve Austin - Together = Bad-Ass Entertainment! 'Maximum Conviction' is hard-core, fast-paced entertainment! The Plot is simple: The Bad-Guys mess up, our Heroes come to clean up. The Screenplay is fast-paced. Direction Wise, fair. The Action-Sequences are fantastic. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are proper. Seagal & Austin are in top-form. Seagal is the eternal Bad-Ass & Austin is just getting there. I truly enjoyed watching them both kicking-butt & delivering with such energy. On the whole, 'Maximum Conviction' worked for me. I Enjoyed!

I read some users reviews. Honestly yes Seagal is getting older..in fact Stallone is older and is still kicking ass. So I don't get your points of age. Go ahead and say what you want about Seagal. In real life he would split you in half in a heartbeat...Now about the movie..Movie had action. Not the best plot. But when your looking for a movie just watch people getting their ass kicked. this is it. Im a huge fan of Seagal. I think one of his better movies since Half Past Dead/Exit Wounds. I can see the 2nd one being good if they tweak the plot better. Other than that, watch it if you're a Seagal/Austin fan. If not, don't watch if you're just gonna complain about Seagals weigh.

It's hard not to feel elated and highly anticipatory when one sees the DVD cover for Maximum Conviction, but how does the movie itself hold up? The Plot: Two ex-special forces commandos (Austin and Seagal)are hired to decommission a military prison only to find themselves under siege by a squadron of baddies trying to abduct a certain female inmate. The Pros: After the first half hour, the action is frequent and plentiful. Both stars perform admirably, especially Austin who is slowly but surely earning his acting chops. Minimal to no doubling for Seagal and a complete lack of dubbing! Michael Pare is a decent villain, as well. The Cons: The Stars have very little screen time together, oddly enough. Steven Seagal truly does need to try and shed some weight (and this is coming from a jaded fan). The two stars didn't quite need their younger teammates as all they did was provide cover and hog up screen time. I would say, definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of either or both but I might hesitate on a purchase as this entertaining film is fun but flawed.
