What is that, you say? You never tire of watching Steven Seagal films, but gosh, you sure could use some fresh material?
Production has begun on Code of Honor, a brand new Seagal film, in Salt Lake City, UT. The film is being directed and was written by Girls, Guns and Gambling director Michael Winnick. Along with Seagal the film stars GGandG star, the Swedish export, Helena Mattsson, and from the look of Craig Sheffer these days, dollars to doughnuts he will play the bad guy.
CODE OF HONOR is the story of a special forces colonel who has recently returned back home from the middle east after going on terminal leave. He quickly realizes his home town has disintegrated into a violent degenerate world run by murderers and narco-terrorists. After little deliberation he decides to covertly enter the shadow world and do what he does best. Almost no one can stop him, but an old teammate tries.
So as the story goes there is nothing new under the Sun. It sounds like so many action films before it. Rinse. Lather. Repeat. But the first thing that Code of Honor gets right is that it respects the time honored tradition of the long line of Seagal films with three words in the title (Above the Law, Hard to Kill, Out for Justice, On Deadly Ground, etc.).
The second thing that Code of Honor gets right is... is... Mattsson? Because let us be honest here, of all the action icons from the 90s, Seagal has fared the worse. The only physical threat he poses right now is air displacement.
