When this movie came out, I thought that it was Seagal's best simply because of the supporting roles of Tommy Lee Jones and Gary Busey. However, viewing this film a few years later, I found it to be as poorly acted as any other performance that Seagal has done and the plot is just ridiculously far-fetched. After a few viewings, even Lee Jones and Busey do not seem very convincing. As stated by many other IMDb reviewers, this plot is simply "Die Hard" set out at sea. Also noted is how Erika Eleniak's character transforms from a topless dancer into a combat veteran in a matter of minutes with a quick firearms lesson from Seagal, just seems absurd. The tempo of this film is typical action-movie stuff and the storyline development is just plain awful. Just about as convincing as any other of Seagal's roles. Not recommended.
