After making his action-hero debut in 1988's Above the Law, Steven Seagal followed up with this typically formulaic action thriller, in which the ponytailed crime fighter is shot full of bullets and left for dead after he uncovers a powerful circle of corrupt politicians. After seven years in a coma, he returns to consciousness and is nursed back to health by--surprise, surprise!--a gorgeous woman, played by Seagal's then wife Kelly ('don't hate me because I'm beautiful') LeBrock. Once in peak condition, snarlin' Steve sets out to satisfy his hearty appetite for revenge, and the bone-crunching action kicks into high gear with the requisite chases, hand-to-hand combat, and escalating body count. This is one of Seagal's best vehicles, establishing the star's screen persona before it grew stale in later films. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Seven Years In 96 Minutes
I'm conflicted about "Hard to Kill" (alternatively known as "The Seven Year Storm" - a better title, if you ask me): on one hand, it displays Steven Seagal's strengths to near-perfection, but on the other, it's just about the dumbest follow-up that Seagal could do after his smarter-than-average debut, "Above the Law". Rest assured, it's not a bad movie, and certainly belongs on any of Seagal's "best of" lists...but for many folks, that's not saying much.
In the film, Seagal is Mason ... Read More
Rating:  - A fun movie
This is a good Seagal thriller and pushes the right buttons. It isn't one of his best but it does deliver the goods.
Rating: - No classic
This is no classic. Seagal plays a cop who after capturing a politician on film with some well known criminals becomes their target. He survives but his family do not. The rest you can guess. Having said its no classic, that is only by comparison to the very highest standards; as Seagal films go this is one of his best. He has ample opportunity to display his martial arts skills and it moves along with pace, and as its only just over an hour and a half long this means you won't be bored.

Rating:  - "I'm gonna take you to the bank, Senator Trent. To the blood bank!"
After Above the Law's Success it was more than obvious that Steven Seagal was going to return for another movie...And so he did, but not for one movie but for 2.In 1990 Seagal had 2 theatrical releases, Marked for Death and Hard To Kill. Both of which are some of his best work. Hard to Kill has the quality of good acting and great Aikido action scenes from Seagal's part, that is not present in his more recent films.
The story of Hard to Kill centers on Mason Storm, A cop that is secretly ... Read More
Rating: - Come and cut my heart out
Mason Storm (Seagal) is a dangerous LA homicide cop. So bad, in fact, an early movie exchange cements his lethality. Storm tauntingly drops to his knees in a grocery store, whispering, "Come and cut my heart out, come and cut my heart out!" to a knife-wielding criminal. It's funny because the criminal has clearly never even used a steak knife, much less attack another human being...who happens to be a black belt in aikido. That'll cost you one fully functional ankle and fibula, Mr. Unaware Criminal. ... Read More
