The tag line for Half Past Dead is "The good. The bad. And the deadly." They should have stuck with simply, "The Bad."

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 10, 2016

Low quality even for Seagal's standards.

| Apr 12, 2014

I can't think of anything more cringe-inducing than Seagal saying, in a strained would-be ghetto accent, 'We aight.'

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jan 29, 2009

What is it about Steven Seagal and three-word movie titles?

| Oct 18, 2008

Seagal at his most minimal, saying and doing less in this film than in practically any film he's been in. Maybe it's for the best.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Aug 16, 2008

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 10, 2007

A sizeable amount of the budget for this lazy film must have been spent on ammunition.

| Mar 7, 2007

The title of this dismal action flick refers to the Seagal character's having suffered a near-death experience, though he's returned from the other side with a remarkable lack of insight.

| Jan 6, 2007

Half Past Dead may be the year's funniest unintentional comedy for its inane plot, repetitive, unimaginative stunts and dreadful dialogue.

Full Review | Jan 6, 2007

Sometimes, when you've just wasted a tenner and a perfectly good evening watching another dumb, gratuitously gun-filled, hackneyed, nonsensical action picture, don't you wish you were as thick, lazy and easily pleased as Hollywood wants you to be?

... satisfies neither intellectually nor viscerally.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 20, 2004

...makes something retarded like Con Air look like an absolute action classic. And that's saying something.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 16, 2004

[Steven Seagal's] trademark limb-breaking is absent.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 1, 2003

It's quite slick, but Seagal's fans won't necessarily get what they paid for.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 1, 2003

Look upon his fleshy neck, his dodgy hair and his strangely puffy immobile face, ye pantywaist liberals, and tremble!

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 8, 2003

It's absolutely worthless nonsense that's almost bad enough to make me wish cinema had never been invented.

| May 20, 2003

Half Past Dead translated from Latin means 'Die Hard in a prison,' or so the filmmakers must have believed.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 20, 2003

Waaay too much like hard labour.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 8, 2003

Once upon a time Seagal's fighting made him look pretty deadly. These days he's looking way past dead.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 15, 2003

Here's yet another deafening, preposterous action movie created for extremely undemanding audiences that don't care about logic and coherence.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 14, 2003
