Steven Seagal's career over the last few years as spiralled way out of control and he is now probably destined to fade into the obscurity from which he came.
The Patriot is another straight-to-video affair in which a small town doctor is called upon to save his community (oh, and the world) from a lethal virus unleashed by the local militia. To make things more compelling, Seagal is a retired top military scientist who was involved in top secret research in biological warfare no-less!
Not content with being the world's best disease specialist, he is also a martial arts expert and marksman - obviously! And this is the basis of the thin plot. The rest is the race against time to find a cure to save the human race!
Lots of nice scenary (from director Dean Semler) doesn't make a film. Seagal's usual clothing attire (i.e. native American style jacket) is present to give Armani another run for his money.
Leave this turkey well alone. Steven Seagal must do better before he his forced to retire to teaching the ancient art of 'Steven Seagal whispering'!
