Synopsis
A cook rescues the crew of USS Missouri and defeats the bad guys while at sea.
There goes the story to this great action filled movie with Steven Seagal in the lead. This was his fifth movie but this one made him a household figure. You don't expect him to win acting awards, but with his martial arts skills, it doesn't bore us if he keeps doing it on screen for the fifth time.
Don't expect the film to be a wealth of a story either. A cook beating hard core military type bad guys? If you are Steven Seagal, who was a military man himself before coming aboard the ship as a cook. Who would do such a thing? Only Steven Seagal can.
Backed up with great actors like Tommy Lee Jones as the head honcho of the bad guys, he truly is an amazing actor. He was great here but his antics are too far fetch to illicit a sense of realism on his character here as the evil and psychotic Strannix. Another bad guy favorite is Gary Busey who with little effort exudes badness. Both carried the film very well with Steven Seagal's Aikido making up the best parts of the film.
That aside from the martial arts shown, bad guys acting, a truly noteworthy and unforgettable scene here is Miss July's coming out of the cake routine. You may want to freeze the scene, for historical sake.
If you want action, this one reeks of it.
