Conversely, some fans have appreciated its unapologetic action style, emphasizing that 'it's all about Seagal kicking butt.' Metacritic scores the film at 41/100, suggesting that while it delivers on entertainment for action enthusiasts, it may disappoint viewers looking for a compelling storyline.
