In contrast to his short, sharp fighting style, Seagal's presentation of the human conflicts and underlying issues consists of vague, sweeping gestures.

Reviews for On Deadly Ground
Top CriticThis is a vanity production parading as a social statement.

Top CriticAs a performer, Seagal is singularly lacking in grace and charisma. As a director, he more than lives up to his ham-fisted acting.

A vanity project in the strongest sense of the term, this film has it all: bad acting, bad writing, bad direction, bad action sequences.

You can't preach about preserving the environment and make movies full of sludge.

In the end, you want a good movie with message about ecology and how to preserve human nature? Forget it; go to a Green peace conference.

Seagal's character -- whose name is Forrest! -- blows up so much of the Alaskan ecology, one wonders why he's so concerned about oil spills.
01/01/00
One of the most despised motion pictures, not just among Steven Seagal's works, but also in entire movie history.
01/01/00
The less said about Joan Chen, the better. To say that her talents are wasted is to understate the matter.
01/01/00
Certain things must be answered, like Seagal's environmental lip service that is utterly mocked by the movie's need to blow things up and destroy property.
01/01/00
Martial arts maven Seagal has long been on deadly ground with critics, and this, his directorial debut, is likely to keep him there.
