Part 2/6:
The movie kicks off with Seagal performing what audiences have come to expect from him—ineptly yet confidently rolling out a barrage of killings that would put most action heroes to shame. Armed with a seemingly infinite supply of no-recoil rounds, Seagal’s character embarks on a mission that spirals into a psychotic rampage, blending traditional sniper warfare with an erratic display of gun handling that many would find laughable.
His nonchalant attitude towards collateral damage, including disregard for innocent lives—epitomized by a forgettable scene involving a school bus—serves as a dark comedic foil to the reality of war. The film showcases a bizarre sense of oblivion about the serious nature of the conflict, which is typified by even more absurdities as the plot unfolds.
