Out for a Kill * (2003, Steven Seagal, Michelle Goh, Corey Johnson, Tom Wu) – Classic Movie Review 8859

Director Michael Oblowitz’s 2003 revenge, payback action crime adventure Out for a Kill stars ageing action-man Steven Seagal in what seems like an unusual role for him as a college archaeology professor called Robert Burns, who is framed for being accomplice in a foiled Chinese cocaine deal.

But it turns into yet another typical role for him as a man out for vengeance, when he escapes from jail where he has been banged up for innocent involvement in a drugs crime.

Sloppy writing and slapdash action combine to sink this noisy, unconvincing comic-book martial-arts thriller, filmed in Sofia, Bulgaria.

Dennis Dimster’s screenplay is based on a story by Danny Lerner.

Also in the cast are Michelle Goh, Corey Johnson, Tom Wu, Chike Chan, Kata Dobó, Kevin Dunn, M C Harvey, Chooye Bay and Elaine Tan.

Out for a Kill is directed by Michael Oblowitz, runs 88 minutes, is made by Millennium Films, Luminocity Productions, Emmett/Furla/Oasis Films, Nu Image, TriStar, is released by Columbia TriStar, is written by Dennis Dimster, based on a story by Danny Lerne, shot by Mark Vargo, produced by Danny Dimbort Avi Lerner, Danny Lerner, Steven Seagal, Randall Emmett and George Furla, is scored by Roy Hay and designed by Michael Seymour.
