Half Past Dead

Apparently the script for this had been kicked around for a decade or so, and ... arguably you could have made a decent enough action movie out of it, if you A) had hired people who knew what the fuck they were doing, and B) hadn't cast the anthropomorphic black hole known as Steven Seagal in the lead. Still, Ja Rule (sic) pretending to be a bad ass came off endearingly juvenile. Like a 5 year old moping because he couldn't get an ice-cream.

Steven Segal is back. Older. Fatter. Slower than before. So to compensate for this his character is now patient and calm, full of wisdom and abhors violence oh wait that's always been his character hasn't it.

Not even worthy of Steven Seagal. Ja Rule's performance beats his music though.

How could I hate a movie with Stephen Segal and a rapper? It's mindless action, of course I'm going to love it!

Steven Seagal and Ja Rule together in a movie...can it get any worse?

Wants to be the coolest movie, with the "hard" soundtrack and high schooler planned fight scenes, but it just out lames itself constantly. *Chappelle voice* "Where is JA!"

Average acting from Seagal. Like that's something new from him.

Laughable. I don't want to see Segal in a heist film, I want to see him beating the shit out of someone.

Doesn't have the charm of the early Seagals. This is just a very generic B action film about bad guys taking over a prison in a generic totalitarian near future setting. Steven seems fatter than ever. Ja Rule is pretty much superfluous, but he gets beat up a lot, so that's a plus (although it doesn't leave a scratch on him). Perfectly watchable if you don't care about plot, dialog, acting, originality or sets that aren't dark and damp.

Look at the title.... honestly, should have gone straight to video.

A very forgettable terribly acted action films

This is, by far, the greatest 21st Century American thriller with a supernatural twist at the end that dealt with death that was also shot in Germany and that also starred Ja Rule. Though on the other hand, this is, by far, the worst 21st Century American thriller with a supernatural twist at the end that dealt with death that was also shot in Germany and that also starred Ja Rule. It really depends on the way you look at it.

Oh God why, Steven, WHY?

If Seagal had spent any time in this prison he'd have earned the nickname Bubba pretty quickly.

And that's a generous 5.

One of the worst movies released in 2002. How long we must see rap artist actor wannabes on big screen. Well, maybe as long they area able to invite fans to cinema or are not shot dead. This was probably DM Paul's first movie and its really bad start.

He was dead for half an hour! Half past dead!!! I can honestly say this is Ja Rule's greatest performance

i thought Seagal was dead until I saw this. Turns out I was right.

This was after all available in theaters. Maybe because they blow up a helicopter, maybe because they seem to think they are making a real actionmovie. Feels more like unused scenes from another movie.

From the era when soundtracks were hip hop and pistols were dual wielded. The action is really great, and they didn’t skimp on the pyrotechnics budget. The dramatic moments aren’t very good, though Steven Seagal suits that bandana. Pretty much The Rock but with Matrix vibes, also it’s bad.
