The Keeper (2009)

Seagal plays Roland, a detective who is shot and left for dead by his partner and then forced to retire due to medical reasons. An old friend calls to request his services as a body guard as a rival business man is trying to kidnap his daughter.

When you watch a Seagal film, you know what you're getting. There's no new ground here. Seagal smacks some people around and threatens to shove their arms down their throats if they don't leave the girl alone. But for some reason, no one ever listens to him and they end up dead or broken in pieces.

Segal is in typical form as he mumbles his way through the dialogue, but at least there's not the dubbed in voice of another actor to confuse things. As usual, his hair appears to be made of charcoal brillo pads which is really disturbing.
