David Love Not his worst movie! Yes, he's overweight, mostly immobile, mumbles his lines (when not overdubbed) and pretends he's black. He has strange dyed hair and orange skin.But look, some of his fellow actors here are not bad. Vinnie Jones plays Henry, and still looks good in his fight scenes, Nick Brimble is Lehder, William Hope is Fletcher, and Alison King and the lovely Christine Adams play the female roles.This time our hero plays Chris Kody, the world's best mercenary – he must use his lethal weapons and fighting skills to stop a group of terrorists who have taken over a nuclear sub.For a straight-to-video film this is about average. Yes, it's clearly not set in Uruguay (it's set in Bulgaria) and the plot is illogical. But if you want to watch a Segal movie that's truly bad (and there can be an odd pleasure in this) then watch Out of Reach or Hard to Kill.

ianlouisiana ...are doing exactly what in a Steven Seagal movie?Well,it's certainly not acting that's for sure - but that's nothing new.And I certainly hope they're not taking themselves seriously because there is only one actor in "Submerged" and that is the mighty Stevester himself. He appears to be suffering from the reverse of Michael Jackson syndrome and changing into a 20 - odd year old black gangsta instead of a 50 - odd year old white movie star whose best days are sadly some way behind him. But he's only got to grin - which he does rather a lot in this film - and I can still see the old Steve shining through the extra few pounds. Many of his later films certainly seem directed at the wannabe gangsta market certainly and he usually has some cool young black chap to back him up and enhance his street cred. Here his gang includes Mr Vinnie Jones,who,as a footballer was most famous for squeezing another footballer's testicles.Mr Jones now does TV adverts for CPR - well,it's a living,I guess.He is yet to appear as a pundit on "Sky"(that refuge for sad unemployables)but I wouldn't rule it out. "Submerged" is everything a Seagal movie should be - flashy,jerky and with a frankly indecipherable plot.And very,very funny. The director is like a kid with a new toy and everybody seems to be having a great time in Bulgaria - and why not,it's a lovely country. And I expect the Brits flew out by "Easyjet". Vinnie probably worked his passage by acting as a bouncer. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it,fully aware I was watching a complete nonsense but unable to turn it off. That is Big Steve's magic and his appeal to many of the less po - faced of us.

willpaynter Firstly, I would like to say ignore the previous reviews saying that this film is unfair to Urueaguay. In my view it in fact puts this far away country of which we previously knew little on the map. They should have a Steven Seagal National Holiday rather than dissing him. Secondly, its portrayal of the country is generally spot on (peasant goat herders etc) the small innacuracy I would have corrected is that as has been pointed out that there are no Mayan ruins in Uruagay. I would have set the scientist's HQ instead inside the Aztec ruins that I believe to exist underneath the street of modern day Montyvideo.SPOILER ALERT: The film itself is a tour de force. The only questions that remained at the end were: 1) Why did they go in the sub; 2) Where was the sub going?; 3) Where did they end up? Stevie still kicks ass - highly recommended.

KHayes666 I can accept DTV movies for what they are, low budget with a plot full of holes. But what saves this one was the supporting cast rather than the overall effort by Seagal.A no goodnik militant named Hilan is working with an evil doctor (played brilliantly by Nick Brimble) to come up with a mind control device. After its completed they use their device to assassinate a US ambassador and its up to Seagal and his troops to save the day. Thats where it comes down to the supporting cast, Vinnie Jones is the man in his role, Nick Brimble played his role even better. Hell Raicho Vasilev....a veteran stunt man makes a vanity appearance as one of Seagal's troops. Hell even William Hope from Aliens is in this one. Add in a bunch of unknowns and its really not that bad.You can overlook the plot holes such as since when is Uruguay armed with terrorists up the wazoo? The movie appeared to be about Seagal trapped on a sub, but he was only on it for about 15 minutes or so, talk about false advertising. Didn't know you can simply walk on to an opera stage and not get attacked by security either. Again, all this can be overlooked if you're a fan of the Seagal movies to begin with, but the cast is what keeps it watchable. If you don't like the plot, at least stick around to see what Vinnie Jones says or does next.The highlight of the movie is when Henry absolutely beats the crap out of Plowand, very brutal.6 out of 10
