One thing should be made very clear about On Deadly Ground, it's a movie that is not likely to go over well with anyone who's not interested in watching an entertaining Steven Seagal flick. Even then I imagine some of those fans will be turned off by the incredibly bias message against oil companies. Michael Cain played the bad guy well, but the spiritual journey Seagal takes & the bar fight scene come off as being cheesy (and end up hurting the film). The action scenes are enjoyable & the cinematography is quite good. Seagal's environmental speech was not nearly as corny as I expected, but it still felt insanely preachy. On Deadly Ground will likely be a guilty pleasure for any Steven Seagal fan but stay away otherwise.
