In 'Half Past Dead,' star and producer Steven Seagal tries to revive a career stuck in neutral by returning to the trapped-in-a-box formula of his best film, 1992's 'Under Siege.' Instead of a ship, the box is a federal prison where Seagal must single-handedly -- well, almost single-handedly, as he gets help from several surprisingly cooperative inmates -- battle vicious commandos who take over the prison to force a death row inmate to reveal the whereabouts of $200 million in stolen gold. But It comes no where near Steven Seagal's other films - Hard to Kill - Marked for Death - Out for Justice - The Patriot to name a few. For the people who wants big gun battles Half Past dead has plenty of gun fights! Some fighting by Seagal.Decent film if you want a non stop action but with a PG-13 rating Steven Seagal didn't do his trademark arts. His fighting was awesome but don't expect to see him totally destroy anyone.
