An American action thriller; A story about a U. S. Marshal and his team who are flown to Romania with orders to guard a billionaire Russian drug kingpin called Salazar who has turned informer. An American agent will stop at nothing to root out the mole who compromised his operation. Keoni Waxman directs this explosive thriller and handles the action sequences with reasonable proficiency. Waxman has become the go-to man for Seagal who has improved the quality of his films in recent years. However, Seagal gives a mostly subdued supporting performance and cuts a tired figure at times. All in all, a passable action film but the script is marred by its over-use of profanities.

I just watched Killing Salazar (Cartels)

The long fall from grace for Seagal continues. Since 2003, he has appeared in almost 30 STV movies. That's two dozen more than the 10 pictures from 1988-2002 that were box office hits. In the last decade, things have grown worse for what is left of his fan base, as he is now a supporting player (some times not even that) in his own movies. That's the case, once again, in this tripe, but it was strangely enjoyable tripe. I can't quite put my finger on why I found it semi enjoyable, I think it was because of Luke Goss, he was the best actor in it and i enjoyed his performance.

It looked like it had the biggest budget for a movie featuring Seagal for a long time, but for me Seagal was the weak point of the movie, he is a constant distraction every time he comes on screen with his bloated face and jet black hair and goatee. There were times he didn't even look like he was putting the effort in to realistically hold and fire a gun, let alone hit anything.

KILLING SALAZAR is yet another Steven Seagal flick shot in Romania by director Keoni Waxman. Seagal seems like a supporting actor in his own movie here, barely appearing other than to show up and kick a few bad guys to the ground in some infiltration scenes. The story is set in and around a hotel occupied by a drug lord who has been targeted for assassination. Luke Goss plays a rival and is the best thing in the movie although way too many of his scenes are set in the interrogation room. The dialogue is particularly stupid, full of swear words without much sense, and the action poorly shot. This is undoubtedly one of the worst of the modern Seagal flicks, with nobody making much of an effort at all.
