It's 2002 and The California Penal Authority has reopened the most notorious prison in history -- Alcatraz.
Disgruntled prison bureaucrat-turned-criminal mastermind Donny (Chestnut) has assembled a commando team to infiltrate the
newly refurbished, high-tech fortress in order to force a death row inmate to reveal the whereabouts of $200 million worth
of gold.
Inmate Nick Frazier (
Ja Rule) must help undercover FBI agent Sascha (Seagal) rally the other inmates to stop the invaders --
before they murder the Supreme Court Justice who is present for the impending execution.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS MOVIE....I HAPPEN TO BE A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE MORRIS CHESTNUT FAN AND I COULDNT HELP BUT FEEL A TINGLE SEEING HIM PLAY A BAD GUY....GREAT ACTION AND SUSPENSE...A MUST SEE
WHAT DOES THE AWFUL TITLE HAVE TO DO WITH THE MOVIE?
Yes he is not doing films of the same quality that he once did, with Out for Just, Hard to Kill, Under siege...but a bad Seagal is still better than most top films of other action stars. He always has a philosophical bent, and I always like his demeanour...enjoy his acting - since he no longer does action scenes anymore (not like he used to anyway)
