classicsoncall Not knowing anything about this film I tuned in because of Steven Seagal, but it was quite the disappointment. I like to see him do his martial art moves to take out the bad guys, but there was none of that here. In fact, a minor twist in the film makes it look like Seagal's character Jonathan Cold, is a bad guy himself. I knew it couldn't be, and when it looked like CIA operative Stuart (Tamara Davies) was about to get taken out, he had to blow his cover to make the save. So I saw that one coming.Just like I saw the ubiquitous coffee mug as a plutonium smuggling device whenever McCabe (David St. James) made his way through the security screener. I must be seeing too many of these kinds of flicks, there didn't seem to be any surprises.The only thing is, and I've wondered about this before, but how do small time terrorists expect to get away with stealing a nuclear weapon, much less building one themselves? I guess we're approaching the day when something like that might be possible, so who knows? In the meantime, it's not likely we'll ever see Jonathan Cold again. Let's hope his self-exile at the end of this story keeps him under wraps for good.

David Love Who the Hell are you? I'm Steven Seagal playing Jonathan Cold, hired assassin, out to stop a group of terrorists from destroying Los Angeles with a compact nuclear device.We get the usual mumbled laboured dialogue from Seagal, the slow motion movement. A stunt double was used for many scenes and the usual rule is, if it moves, it's the double.I didn't find the supporting cast as irritating compared to other Seagal flicks. John Pyper Ferguson and Julian Stone make reasonable bad guys while Tamara Davies is easy on the eye and puts in a competent performance as Seagal's sidekick.The filming is good, the plot is sensible, well sort of, and there is lots of shooting if you like that sort of thing.Overall this isn't the worst Seagal film. The first and last 20 minutes are pretty good even though the middle section drags quite a bit.

disdressed12 this Steven Seagal offering is also sort of an unofficial sequel to The Foreigner.it's also known as Foreigner 2.the only thing the two movies have in common though is that Seagal reprises his role of Jonathon Cold.this one is a straight to DVD production.having saad that,i actually liked it more.i thought it was more exciting,and faster paced.certainly better paced,throughput.there are no boring moments.the story could have been better though.it reminded me of an episode of 24.for whatever reason,Seagal didn't have a double doing some of his lines in this one,like he did in The Foreigner.anyway, for me,Black Dawn AKA, Foreigner 2 is a 6/10

tardigrade81 OK so I decided to go too blockbuster the other day and get a movie, and remembered Black Dawn was a Seagal movie I had yet to see. So I thought might as well give it a chance, thats if they even carry it. Anyways they had it for sale for 7 dollars. WORST 7 Dollars I have EVER spent.First of all Steven DOES NOT FIGHT AT ALL!!! I think there might be one scene where he throws a karate chop to a guys throat and that is it. A 90 minute movie and he throws one hit.. The rest is all a stunt double (if you get the courage to rent this you will see what I mean) the gun fights were horrible as usual..... Fire off 50 rounds and not hit a single bad guy..... Seagal is also the heaviest he has ever been in this movie. This guy loses weight for some projects and gains it back for other projects..... this one he just looks flat out in bad shape.Anyway from beginning to finish is the worst thing I have ever seen.... My friend wants to watch it with me, and I just don't think I will be able to sit through it again... One thing I will say is, it is good for a real laugh.... seeing the stunt double work and the horrible hair on the stunt double, and the loss of 40 pounds haha its painfully obvious... TERRIBLE MOVIE!!!!
