Hard to Kill
Hard to Kill was Steven Segal's second film in a leading role, following Above the Law by just two years. But already evident is the gradual downward trajectory of Segal films. Like Above the Law, Segal plays a kickboxing cop. This time he's an L.A. detective whose home is targeted by the mob, leaving him in a coma, and his family dead.With the help of a nurse (Kelly LeBrock), he hides out and recovers until he can get revenge.
Unlike Above the Law, however, the whole scenario is a little less believable, and the acting - including Segal's - is generally weaker. Still, it's enjoyable in it's own lowbrow way. Segal would rarely be this good again.
The Good:
The Bad:
The Verdict:
**1/2 out of *****

The Good:
- Segal's martial arts are really the only reason to watch
The Bad:
- Extremely predictable
The Verdict:
**1/2 out of *****
