On Deadly Ground Movie Review 1994

Seagal nearly destroys Alaska in an effort to save it in this inane, preachy story of an oil-rig roughneck out to protect the landscape from an evil oil company's drilling habits. Directorial debut for Seagal lumbers from scene to scene. Violence is expected, as is silly dialogue--just try to keep from laughing when stoneyfaced Steven intones "What does it take to change the essence of man?" A better script, for one.
