Half Past Dead
Seagal plays Sasha, who may be a hardened con or may be an undercover FBI agent. He's not telling. Either way, he winds up in high-tech hell-prison New Alcatraz after taking a bullet for his criminal buddy Nick (rapper Ja Rule). Hooking back up with Nick, however, takes second place to stopping a gang of desperado killers from raiding the prison to get the scoop on a hidden fortune from a criminal mastermind earmarked for execution on death row.

SONY PICTURES HOME ENT. UK Half Past Dead [2003]
Despite critical roasting, <I>Half Past Dead</I> is, surprisingly, not half bad. Once you recognise this bastard child's recent action-flick heritage (<I>The Rock</I> being the most obvious of a dozen pilfered plot lines), you can kick back and enjoy the unexpected perks that arise when a deep-cover FBI sleuth (Steven Seagal) accompanies a convicted crook (rapper Ja Rule) into New Alcatraz prison. A death-row killer (Bruce Weitz) sits on a $200 million goldmine, keeping his secret as a bargaining chip when criminal commandos (led by the ever-cool Morris Chestnut) drop in for a lethally greedy raid. After cutting his teeth on trashy, short-lived US TV series, director Don Michael Paul can't do much to help the puffy, career-tanking Seagal, but he's got lively allies in Ja Rule and alleged has-been Nia Peeples (forget Lara Croft, this babe <I>rocks</I>), and even legendary action-TV producer Stephen J Cannell drops in for a cameo. Derivative from the get-go, but fun just the same. --<I>Jeff Shannon</I>
