Alexander Coates (Steven Seagal) is the king of crime as he
sits on his throne over-seeing his territory given to him as his birthright.
However, deep in his thoughts is a desire to get out of the business. Although
he has worked hard for his criminal kingdom and all its monetary gains---he wants
more, and maybe that more is a normal life with a family.
But it does not matter what he wishes for at the moment because
there’s an issue to handle that takes its place. Alexander sends for Roman Hurst
( Bren Foster) his assassin apprentice who’s trained to function and complete
assignments given to him. Roman is as skilled in martial arts as Alexander and
proves it by his actions.
Alexander
cares for Roman who might be the closest to a good friend he has, but he has trained
everyone in employment---that each are responsible for their actions.
If they do something wrong they accept their punishment. So, when he sends
Roman into a prison to assassinate a prisoner he expects the job completed
without complications.
Roman fights
his way into the prison using all his skills and then some; and, finally finds
the mark and kills him. What appeared as a simple assignment to Alexander is a
case of mistaken identity for Roman. So, Alexander being the tough dogmatic
king of his empire feels that Roman has embarrassed him. Therefore, Roman will suffer
the consequences, and since he is the brave silent type he is ready to do so.
Alexander gives Roman over to gangsters for his punishment with a heavy heart maybe. Or--- is he a cruel demented criminal without one? Roman is hurt really bad as they smashed his
hands so he cannot use a gun or his skills to defend himself. He hides to heal while he suffers silently in his
dark mood. He stays in a room over a business owned and operated by Jimmy
Peanuts (Danny Trejo) and, finally Jimmy helps his hands heal. Jimmy is as mean and dangerous as any criminal and will fight for the ones close to his heart.
When the Ice
Man (Ving Rhames) hits town and starts to take over Alexander’s kingdom the fireworks begin,
and mayhem and chaos become a normal day. The Ice Man is not afraid of Mr.
Alexander as he calls him. However, it is never wise to underestimate a
seasoned crime lord. And, this is when Alexander jumps into the mix and shows
the Ice Man why he is king of his empire.
I cannot
wait to get this DVD and it comes out December 17th 2013. Steven
Seagal has been one of my favorite action actors for many years. And, like my
chosen white wine---he just gets better and better.
