Ah, the mighty Steven Seagal. While other action stars have long since crossed genres and attempted to strike continuing mainstream gold, Seagal ploughs on, with his latest effort being Street Wars. This sees him heading up a team of undercover cops, who specialise in bringing down big criminals. Naturally, they don’t play by conventional rules, and naturally, Seagal looks suitably moody through the whole endeavour. But Street Wars isn’t finished there. For it also throws into the pot the job of finding out who is behind a mysterious drug, the task of protecting a film maker, and the small matter of a ticking clock. It’s a jamboree of action movie clichés, with Seagal taking centre stage. Bluntly, you know what you’re going to get here. It’s the latest in a line of Seagal straight to DVD movies, although this one has been pulled together from the True Justice TV show. That’s not to say it’s without merit, as it’s still easy-on- the-brain action fare. But it’s very much a television production you’re getting. Anyone who’s enjoyed Seagal’s recent run of films, though, is unlikely to be disappointed. --Jon Foster
