Force of Execution---Steven Seagal, Danny Trejo and Ving Rhames (2013)

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 17^th 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.

The Marine Starring John Cena, Kelly Clarkson and Robert Patrick

When John Triton (John Cena) a marine saved the lives of other marines by ignoring a command to stand down and wait for backup was wrong as far as the Marine’s rules. So the hero who saved others was given an honorable

discharge---he had to leave what he loved the most next to his beautiful wife Kate (Kelly Clarkson)---the marines.

After John returned home he was lost---andhurt at the outcome of his career in the Marines---and he did not know what to do with himself. He was so happy to be home with his wife---yet a gloomy halo of sadness surrounded him. Kate recognized it and was trying to come up with something John could do for excitement.

Kate suggested they go to the beach, but John said he had seen enough sand in the Marine’s. So they packed up and start to the mountains. Life was great they were so in love and enjoying being together.

Earlier a team of diamond thieves robbed a jewelry store killing people had stopped to get gas. The leader Rome (Robert Patrick) was driving a stolen Cadillac. 

The gun-crazed killer on the team was Morgan (Anthony Ray Parker). And while a deputy was talking to Rome about a sticker on his bumper Morgan walks out of the station and shoot the deputy in the head.

Then all bedlam started--- because one of the guys takes Kate as hostage while John is in the store knocked out. They shot the other deputy as he tried to get away and then they exploded everything up around them.

John makes it out of the store alive and uses the deputy’s car to chase after them because they took Kate and his vehicle. 

This is one of the most action-packed movies I have seen in a long time---compete pandemonium from the beginning to the end. There is also a surprise ending with who turn out to in on the diamond heist.
