Diagonaldi Very well executed

Wordiezett So much average

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Aubrey Hackett While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Prismark10 Cross (Steven Seagal) and Manning (Steve Austin) are some kind of black ops personnel who have been sent to decommission an old prison. It is holding two mysterious women who some mercenaries led by Michael Pare have been sent in to extract.It is up to Cross and Manning and their small team to save the base and protect the women and find out what is so valuable about them.What we get is a dimly lit, poorly edited, turgid film where the only villain is Pare out acts both the main leads.Seagal is fat and out of shape. Austin fares better, he gets to crack a few jokes and strangely both stars only appear in a few scenes together. The action scenes are flat with no imagination or even decent fights.It looks like a quickly made and cheap action movie made for the direct to TV market.

namashi_1 Steven Seagal & Steve Austin - Together = Bad-Ass Entertainment! 'Maximum Conviction' is hard-core, fast-paced entertainment! The Plot is simple: The Bad-Guys mess up, our Heroes come to clean up.The Screenplay is fast-paced. Direction Wise, fair. The Action-Sequences are fantastic. Cinematography, Editing & Art Design, are proper. Seagal & Austin are in top-form. Seagal is the eternal Bad-Ass & Austin is just getting there. I truly enjoyed watching them both kicking-butt & delivering with such energy. On the whole, 'Maximum Conviction' worked for me. I Enjoyed!

LeonLouisRicci Steven Seagal's final line in this Movie is..."it's not over till we're dead". Possibly a shout-out to his relentless critics that endlessly tell him to retire or at the very least to lose some weight. In this Movie he seems to be trying to end the laziness. He is not dubbed here and manages to find just enough breath to make his lines understandable. He is not doubled here and actually does his own Martial Arts scenes.So that is the upside. Steve Austin on the other hand makes the other Steve look like a thoroughbred Thespian. Seriously, does this guy have ANY expressions or changes of tone to his voice. He has got be the worst Action Hero Actor ever, bar none. But hey, he is an imposing physical presence and that is the minimum requirement to convince.This is a darkly lit, endless trek down corridors and around corners. Stiff and long scenes in front of consoles and computer keyboards. It jumps and pulls the frame once in a while to try a bit of styling but no go. Anyway there is quite a bit of gunfire and a goodly amount of hand to hand and enough Characters to allow for a large body count, so if this is for you, have at it, and for the curious to see if maybe Segal is on a self-imposed comeback.

devilove17 I am not a Segal fan never have been but this is a good movie Great plot the movie flowed and it all made sense. The acting not so great but the movie as a whole very good I hope they make a second one. Definitely buying the movie as I saw this on net flix. Austin is a bad a$$ and the last fight scene with the Bren Foster was awesome that guy is one to look out for he is a beast. I am excited to see them do another one. Good Job Steve and Steven Good job. This movie is as good as the expendables for sure Segal out did himself this time truly a great movie and Austin redeemed himself in this one as well. Pretty funny dialogue during some of the non action scene's . Recommended to anyone who wants to see a great action flick.
