My quick rating - 4.4/10. I have been meaning to let shuffle help me weed through the 7000+ movies waiting and finally getting to it. A hard-core Interpol Agent (Steven Seagal) is assigned to an Eastern European task force to target gun trafficking and dope running throughout the Balkans. While investigating a Russian gun dealer, his team is caught in a bloody street war between a Gypsy gang and the Russians, leaving one task force member dead. Fueled with vengeance, he leads us on an action-packed thrill ride while avenging his friend's death. Director Lauro Chartrand safely limits the amount of hand-to-hand combat for Seagal which helps remove a bit of that stigma around his typical roles. He does still chop quite a few people into submission but the action is kept within reason. As far as his post Under Siege days (the last decent Seagal vehicle he solo'd) this one isn't awful and doesn't find its way falling into a "meme" category. If this one pops on one of your streamers and you are a fan of mindless action flix, this should suffice but don't expect anything too exciting or any twists that are going to challenge your mind. That has never been what Steven Seagal movies have been about. He is always that loner cop (usually because he gets his partners killed) and plays both sides of the law to get things done.
