jadavix "Hard to Kill" is a tepid and poorly structured Steven Seagal flick. It's almost as hard to remember as its title - remember we also have "Above the Law", "Out for Justice" and "Marked for Death" in the Seagal canon. They all had three word titles, yes, and they were all released within the space of a couple of years. This one is even harder on the old memory bank because its title also happens to be a rip off of "Die Hard", and there were quite a few of those.Anyway, "Hard to Kill" isn't as boring and nonsensical as "Above the Law", but that's about all you can say for it. It has nothing we haven't seen before, except maybe for the lack of any real villain. By the time you find out who's behind the dastardly goings on, you don't care, and the guy doesn't make much of an impression. "Above the Law" also had this problem - we knew who the bad guy was, but didn't see much of him. But who can forget Henry Silva?Maybe Seagal didn't want a villain stealing the show.The movie does the whole "Hero in the hospital, bad guy coming to kill him" thing we've seen in so many other movies. In this one, though, Seagal (with unkempt long hair and a goatee, looking like Joe Eszterhas) escapes with only the use of one arm. That part, I guess, is memorable for its ridiculousness. You can't say the same for anything else here - it's all ridiculous, but not memorable.Seagal has a convalescence at a hot nurse's house where we have the typical training montage which is also pretty funny. Seagal chopping at a tree with some kind of spear is an amusing image. At this point we're already over half way through the movie and we don't know who the bad guy is.It's one of those movies where you look at how far into it you are and get surprised, thinking, how are they going to squeeze an ending in? I read in the trivia that the movie was edited to a shorter run time, but that doesn't always make it zip along. Sometimes it makes it drag.

AaronCapenBanner Bruce Malmouth directed this action yarn that stars Steven Seagal as police officer Mason Storm(great name!) who is gunned down in his home, where his wife is killed, and he is in a coma for several years. One day, Mason awakens from his coma, and is immediately targeted for assassination by the same sinister forces that attacked him and his family in the first place. He is aided in his escape by his attractive nurse(played by Kelly Lebrock) as they both go on the run to find out who is responsible, and how to stop them. William Sadler plays a corrupt politician named Trent. Good action scenes, but film is much too far-fetched to be believed, with some most unlikely plot elements(like Mason's remarkably quick recovery!)

gwnightscream Steven Seagal, Kelly LeBrock, William Sadler and Frederick Coffin star in this 1990 action film. This begins in 1983 and Seagal plays cop, Mason Storm who finds evidence on a crooked senator, Vernon Trent (Sadler). Soon, Storm goes home to his wife and son and they become hunted by Trent's thugs. Storm is shot, his wife is killed and his son gets away unharmed. Storm is taken to a hospital and declared dead until Internal Affairs Lt. and friend, O'Malley (Coffin) learns he's not. LeBrock (Weird Science) plays nurse, Andrea who helps Storm after he awakens out of a 7-year coma keeping him safe. Storm reunites with O'Malley learning his son is alive and has been staying with him. Soon, Storm decides to go after Trent seeking justice. This is a good action flick that's one of Seagal's best I recommend.

julesdil Awful this hard to kill action film was a waste of my time , for a start it does a annoying soundtrack some boring action that is so tame , and acting which fails to be good. Every bit of the plot is standard a group of hit men kill segal although he is still alive then he kills them , then when the action and revenge scenes come it is so tame , only a bit of blood and a group of tame shootouts and the typical , gun , fight , odd quote , just miss it. I think people just don't agree but they should because many others will hate this film and haaa they should make a good action film , this uggggg get the bin out . overrated 15 certificate for moderate violence.
