Half Past Dead description Despite critical roasting and a blink-and-you-missed it theatrical release, Half Past Dead is surprisingly not half bad. Once you recognize this bastard child's recent action-flick heritage (The Rock being the most obvious of a dozen pilfered plot lines), you can kick back and enjoy the unexpected perks that arise when a deep-cover FBI sleuth (Steven Seagal) accompanies a convicted crook (rapper Ja Rule) into "New Alcatraz" prison. A death-row killer (Bruce Weitz) sits on a $200 million goldmine, keeping his secret as a bargaining chip when criminal commandos (led by the ever-cool Morris Chestnut) drop in for a lethally greedy raid. After cutting his teeth on trashy, short-lived TV series, director Don Michael Paul can't do much to help the puffy, career-tanking Seagal, but he's got lively allies in Ja Rule and alleged "has-been" Nia Peeples (forget Lara Croft, this babe rocks), and even legendary action-TV producer Stephen J. Cannell drops in for a cameo. Derivative from the get-go, but fun just the same. --Jeff Shannon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Not great, but not bad |
| This movie is a 3 star review, but I am rating it 4 stars for Seagal fans. Seagal is sent to prison to build up his credibility so he can later join a criminal group after he serves his time. The prison Seagal is sent to is maximum security on an island. While locked up, a group of armed paramilitary people take control of the prison. Seagal teams up with inmates to fight the paramilitary group. This movie did not have enough action. There are some fight scenes and some gun fights, but not nearly enough. It was not realistic that a maximum security prison could be easily broken into with almost no fight from the security guards. I expected better gun fights between the prison security guards and the paramilitary group. This movie could have been much better than what it turned out to be. | |
