Amazon.co.uk Review

Despite critical roasting, Half Past Dead is, surprisingly, not half bad. Once you recognise this bastard child's recent action-flick heritage (The Rock being the most obvious of a dozen pilfered plot lines), you can kick back and enjoy the unexpected perks that arise when a deep-cover FBI sleuth (Steven Seagal) accompanies a convicted crook (rapper Ja Rule) into "New Alcatraz" prison. A death-row killer (Bruce Weitz) sits on a $200 million goldmine, keeping his secret as a bargaining chip when criminal commandos (led by the ever-cool Morris Chestnut) drop in for a lethally greedy raid. After cutting his teeth on trashy, short-lived US TV series, director Don Michael Paul can't do much to help the puffy, career-tanking Seagal, but he's got lively allies in Ja Rule and alleged "has-been" Nia Peeples (forget Lara Croft, this babe rocks), and even legendary action-TV producer Stephen J Cannell drops in for a cameo. Derivative from the get-go, but fun just the same. --Jeff Shannon

DVD Description

When Alcatraz re-opens the first inmate scheduled for the electric chair has vital information on the wherabouts of the proceeds of his last crime. Unwilling to let this fotune go up in smoke, a criminal commando (Morris Chestnut) infiltrates the prison to find out where the $200 million stash of gold is hidden. Seagal plays an undercover FBI agent who becomes the "fly-in-the-ointment" of their would-be raid.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best- No Question, 30 Aug 2005
In 'Half Past Dead', the perfect formulae for a perfect action film can be found. Every single scene is loaded with anticipation, violence and gunfire- a total must for any action film fan. Ja Rule is a brilliant actor, and Steven Seagal matches this role well. Am I alright? No, I'm aite!

4.0 out of 5 stars i like it, 18 Jan 2005
this is actually a really good film. i enjoyed it and i'm sure others will do to. many people will hate it because Ja is in it but as action movies go, it certainly half past the decent mark at least!

4.0 out of 5 stars good film
Phat film. Wit Ja Rule and some good action sequences. 4 stars because the plot wears a bit thin after a while.
