Belly of the Beast

This is probably the only Steven Segal movie worth watching. hahaha.. yeah all his movies suck so far except this one. To be honest, I like Steven Segal as a martial artists but his movies aren't that great. This is guy has surpassed the 5th degree black belt in Aikido. However, you can't really blame him.. aikido doesn't really look that good on camera. Not like Kung Fu, Karate, Kickboxing, or Capoeira. Make no mistake though, you wouldn't want to piss off and attack someone that's well trained in Aikido.. they can be very deadly.


This movie had great action, I mean like Hong Kong action, it's also directed by a very famous Hong Kong martial artist, Ching Siu Tung. If you're a fan of action movies, you'll love this movie. This movie actually makes Aikido look good. I say this is like the Steven Segal version of "Ong Bak". There isnt' really much of a story to it, but it doesn't need one.. you can just enjoy it for the action.

plot: An ex-CIA agent's quest to find his kidnapped daughter leads him on a trail of political intrigue, corruption, danger and betrayal; he will stop at nothing to save her
