(1990) This movie is worth seeing for five reasons:

(1) Emotional storyline. Kill a guy's family, put him in prison, and you've got the making of a high-octane story. Yes, maybe it's not CASABLANCA but it taps into our deepest emotions and desires. Including trying to get your son back.

(2) Martial arts. Love the sequence where Steven Seagal is training. Very Eastern. Very authentic.

(3) William Sadler as Senator Vernon Trent. Hollywood's most underrated character actor and villain turns in an understated performance. Very smooth and slick.

(4) Seagal's romance with Sadler. Yes, it's cheesy.

(5) The hot tub scene. Super nice.
