Review of Fire Down Below

5/10
More killer action would've set the movie on fire.
15 February 1999
Our soft-spoken federal agent in a ponytail, Steven Seagal, gives a single blow to his enemies and takes care of business to keep us all happy. FIRE DOWN BELOW sounds like the ideal movie for middle-aged guys who grew up watching Clint Eastwood and don't want all the upbeat violence today can offer. The basic action sequences come around every once in a while, but it yearns for much more! It is both a regular old "run, shoot & kill" thing and a regular old martial arts flick wrapped up in one full package. You can sit around and get tired over some dramatic footage, and maybe miss out on that stellar Mack truck chase scene. Cameos by three country music stars help out a bit, including Randy Travis as a corrupt government officer. Seagal appears as if he's aging and can't do so much anymore. After all, Marty Stuart sure could use him in his guitar band.
