The choreography of violence is competent enough to satisfy the more violence-addicted sector of the video public. For even a modicum of redeeming charm, wit or humor, however, Seagal is clearly no Schwarzenegger.

Hard to Kill -- which is even less subtle than its title -- is all show and no depth.

...a fairly ludicrous premise that's employed to impressively entertaining effect...

It's a highly amusing motion picture with a distinct '80's action feel, matched perfectly to Seagal's limitations as an actor and his endearing way with limb-snappings.
