Mercenary for Justice (2006)
Mercenary John Seeger is one of the best in the business. John and his crew battle some soldiers on Galmoral Island in Southern Africa as they're trying to rescue the French Ambassador -- there's a coup going on. Some of John's soldiers unload their machine guns into the Ambassador and his family, blowing the mission and getting his best friend Radio Jones killed. He heads back to the US and visits Radio's wife Shondra to tells her the news, and then promises that he'll take care of her and her son Eddie. But shortly after he makes that vow, Shondra and Eddie get kidnapped.

terrible... so disappointed.
Absolutely Fantastic
Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.
Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
This one came on TV last month and when I finally sat down the watch the recording... god, all I could ask was: who the hell wrote this?We have a good idea for a film: Seagal is a mercenary and we'll throw in some twists, some bad people, some friction with the other merc's he works with, a hot blonde - oh no, she's a crappy fighter, let's kill her off! - some political stuff... let's just try to make it cover ALL the bases, get as many folks interested as we can while we work it into a thriller that's too intelligent for the average action fan to follow so we'll be hailed as clever.Is that confusing? Well, that's what this film is: a pile of turd. A rambling, thinks-it's-better-than-it-is, unfocused turd.Actually, the film is so unfocused that I had to wonder if there was a script at all! Surely, had there been, somebody would've raised the flag long, long before it went into production by asking, "WTF is going on?"If this holds your interest for more than 20 minutes, you're Seagal's biggest fan and deserve a Thank You card in the post. Luke Goss, on the other hand, has quickly become a name I associate with Bad Films. How the heck he manages to choose them, I have no clue.
Blah blah kills someone he likes out for revenge something or another...the usual seagal movie. Anyway here's the thing about the movie i find unforgivable. In one of the final scenes John seeger(was this so the Japanese would pronounce it seegel?) goes to such ridiculous lengths to break into some high security bank to get to apparently an atm in the middle of the business to print out a freakin bank statement. However to get this far he had to kill like every police officer in town and their brother. Cops are good guys right? Especially when they're just trying to do their duty. And yet when he meets up with one of the head honchos for the umpteenth time in the bank he hands him the statement and says you're going to jail. Knocks him unconscious and f@%+in leaves! Oh and to get to the bad guy and leave he had to kill more guys. I couldn't finish the movie. Seegal is not a bad ass in this movie he's a bad guy. There's no happy ending here. No justice and victory of good over evil, something i've always appreciated and looked forward to in these kinds of movies no matter how bad the rest of it was. Reminds me of devil's rejects.
Seagal is back and bigger than ever. The larger than life actor is back to his best with Mercenary of Justice. The heart felt story begins with Seagal being described the as a wild card and the best at his job i.e blowing stuff up in slow-mo.A mercenary gets involved in a mission that threatens the lives of his kin. In order to succeed, he must break into one of the most wellguarded prisons in Eastern Europe and free the son of the most notorious drug lord in the world todayIn conclusion this is a great and refreshing change from the average action film with real heart felt drama its only rival release may be firewall, however Harrison Ford struggles to compete with Seagal in every aspect."It's time to fight again".... Damn right
