We asked for (and got) Against the Dark from Cinema Paradiso at the weekend.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1194271/

Finished last night on the second attempt.

There are those amongst you that will say 'Steven Seagal and Zombies!
What did you expect?!' To you, I say 'Indeed. Never again'

There are (probably) those amongst you (like myself) that will say
'Steve Seagal and Zombies! What could *possibly* go wrong'. To you, I
say '*DON'T* Really! It's not even 'so bad it's good' it's 'so bad it's
gone past the 'so bad it's good' level and carried on to plumb new
depths of crapness'

This has been a public service announcement.

3.4 rating? Bloody hell, I don't think I've ever seen a rating that low
on there for a 'mainstream' film.

I see your Steven Segal and raise you Wesley Snipes.

I've caught up with a couple of his B movies recenty [1] and i'm now
convinced he's the new Steven Segal. [2]

Paul.

[1] Detonator and 7 Seconds
[2] Shite formulaic films with some dodgy MA thrown in [3]
[3] I mean, I know he's had some tax trouble recently, but it's a bit
of a comedown from the 'Blade' heydays.

I was never that impressed by Blade. Quite liked Passenger 57.
