Hard to Kill (1990)
Prior to the unkillable Casey Ryback, Steven Seagal played the even harder to kill Mason Storm in this classic 80's actioner.
Left for dead and in a coma for seven years, Storm recuperates with the help of nurse Kelly Le Brock and goes after the corrupt senator who put him in the coma and killed his wife at the same time.
Some good L.A. locations are a highlight of this film for me as is the crunching violence Seagal inflicts upon bad guys. Sadly Le Brock seems to come from the Liz Hurley school of terrible acting, meanwhile slimy Bill Sadler is sadly under used.
A vhs fave of mine i don't think i'd seen Hard to Kill since the very early 00's when i initially bought the dvd. What was pleasing was i'd forgotten so much of what happened it felt like watching a new movie for me. And on a lovely looking blu-ray too.
