Then we thought: first draft Sigal latest direct-to-video actioner “Black Dawn” were Muslim terrorists as villains, because it does not make sense that Chechnya bunch of teenagers (they look like teenagers with facial hair, in any case, ) trying to blow up Los Angeles with a suitcase nuke. The reason is that the CIA killed their leader, so now they want to bring the pain in Los Angeles. What, indeed, is a kind of good with me. Like most Americans, I might not be sufficient LA all that much if he shattered tomorrow. Oh sure, we are likely to bemoan the lack of senseless Hollywood blockbusters Leto for the first few years, but then a few quick thinking entrepreneur will be translated in Hollywood already in Idaho, so the cry about?

In “Black Dawn”, Steven Segal reprises character Jonathan Cold, ex-CIA agent turned independent who was last seen a real explosion of good stuff activities in Europe, as chronicled in the “foreigner”. (For those interested, “Black Dawn” is the only continued Sigal has been done other than “Under Siege” films.) this time, the cold somewhere in Los Angeles, with a broken some British guy whose name escapes me from the federal prison. Said British guy wants to join him cold and his younger brother bearded sell suitcase nuke to the above-mentioned Chechnya adolescents who are already worldwide busting activities jewellery stores to finance their little shopping. And they say teenagers are currently unable to finish the hard work!

While the cold is on the work of British colleagues, we note that the CIA is looking at things. Or, in fact, the agent Amanda (Tamara Davis), which are used to cold in prot’g ‘makes most of the show, not to mention an obscene amount of snapping photos. (At one point in the cutie pie CIA agent must snapped about 5 rolls in the cold for 5 second period. seriously, the girl has a problem, I think.) And so in Chechnya teenagers managed to get their hands on suitcase nuke (remember, they want to blow up LA), and it is up to the cold, and his former prot’g “to save the day.

The movie takes a curious turn, by the middle of the mark, as it turned out, that this is not cold, which he argues that many other factions of the CIA attracted. This is all very confusing, not to mention preserving the basic plot in the background. (Remember those crazy Chechen children, and their plot to blow up LA?) is very much a lot of action, “Black Dawn”, but it is almost all shootouts, which leaves little room for Sigal in his trademark layer of the bone breaking skills. Fans Sigal in the martial arts will not be too happy with the choice of guns over the martial arts, and even long supervise the overall direct-to-video shoot’em survey will leave thinking there were too many fights involving guns silenced pistol going pfft pfft pfft all the time.

In addition, using twice as much stunt than before (mainly involving nothing cold shot from 5 meters assumes Sigal trick twice), Sigal, as content to remain in the background during much of the film. This leaves Tamara Davis, to do a lot of running, diving and shooting. Davis’ character is the audience POV - it is constantly confused about what’s going on, which leads to some funny lines. It goes without saying that no chemistry with Davis Sigal force, but again, who is? To her credit, Davis leads with the role with enthusiasm, as if she did not know it was in the common action film filled with the general good and the bad guys do and say: well, common things.

Of the villains, Nicholas Dawidoff talks with the Russian half of the film focusing on, and forget the other half. And I can not even remember the name of a British villain, which must say something. Most disappointing of all is that Don Franklin, late of the great, but canceled TV show “Seven Days”, plays a minor role as a partner Amanda, but he has a total of about 3 exposition scenes until he unceremoniously killed off. In addition, lyubiteli’90 s softcore erotica must have struck from seeing the film producer, Andrew Stevens, sporting a ’stache as security guards at a nuclear facility.

There, nothing about “Black Dawn”, to make it particularly bad film, given its recent results stars, but unfortunately, there are also several excellent nothing about it, either. Director Alexander Gruszynski is not bringing a whole lot of film, but then again, neither does Martin Wheeler in the Plot-o-Matic 3000 scenario. The film save some fresh enthusiasm Tamara Davis, and this is very bad, it is not in the best film. Lack of martial arts may postpone Sigal fans, but let’s face it, if you still consider themselves Sigal fan after mediocre product line of men raised in recent years, and then you will probably watch anything with a ponytail in it.
