Rating:  - another awful film in Seagal's Direct-to-DVD Era
Black Dawn is one of the very bad films in Seagal's direct-to-DVD era. It's a sequel to the equally horrible The Foreigner (also a 2-Star Film). As with other bad Seagal films the storyline is very difficult to follow. Making the film even more difficult to follow is the terrible sound quality. I gave up watching Black Dawn 40 minutes into the film. Unless you're a big Seagal fan, I would recommend skipping this film and going for some of his earlier works or even some of the more recent DTV works which are of much better quality. If you've really got to watch this one, rent it or buy it used on Amazon.
Rating: - Segal revives the Jonathan Cold character, the Michael Myers hair, and the 70's pimp suit all in one movie!
Black Dawn was made in 2005. For those of Sid's readers who are not Segal historians, this was right in the middle of his one foot off the cliff stage in his career. Meaning, he was on a self-destructive path that miraculously ended in Segal becoming the king of straight to DVD action rather than killing himself. The movies he did during this period were attrocious at best. He must have realized how horrific he looked on camera at this point because it was here that he started producing as well as staring in these flicks. Thankfully, Segal threw in the towel on looking presentable in his films, gained an extra 50 pounds(for a total gain of 195 since Out for Justice), grew out the Myers hair more, and gave us a classic in Pistol Whipped hopefully with more to come.
The tagline for Black Dawn is "It's always darkest before dawn." Sid's theory on this is that it had nothing to do with the movie. No, it must have symbolized a sad night when Segal arrived at his local Wendy's just after it closed. He probably got a Santa-like far away look in his eyes and contimplated life, arriving at the conclusion that he couldn't get his usual 80 nuggets and life just isnt fair. If Sid was forced to come up with a tagline for Black Dawn, it would either be "Steven Segal or the former Duran Duran rodie: Which guy's got it?" or maybe "Don't waste your time." This film was awful, and that's saying something considering Sid's love for Segal.
The movie started out well enough. Segal plays ... Read More
Rating: - "You're Having A Bad Day"
After spending some time watching Dolph Lundgren movies and Jean-Claude Van Damme titles, it was nice returning to a Steven Seagal film - "nice" meaning, I could pop the "Black Dawn" DVD into my player and enjoy the film whilst dividing my attention with ironing laundry, because there's little chance that Steven was going to do or say anything to surprise me. Fans of his have generally accepted this, since the man has proven himself a guy of repetitious plots and characters. However, it wasn't before long I looked up from my towels to become aware of a couple of things regarding the movie: first of all, it's one of Seagal's prettiest DTV releases I've ever seen, and secondly, there's almost nothing going on in it.
In a sequel to Seagal's maligned DTV-emerging flick "The Foreigner" (proving that it's possible to expand the franchise of absolutely anything, no matter how bad it starts), he returns as ex-CIA mercenary Jonathan Cold, who is hired by British arms-dealers to help sell parts of a nuclear bomb to a group of Chechen terrorist-martyrs planning to blow up Los Angeles. But after plans go awry and CIA agent/former protégé Amanda Stuart (Tamara Davies, "Deep Rescue") gets involved, Seagal must both flee assassination and stop the plot to destroy LA.
As said before, "Black Dawn" actually looks very good: award-winning lifetime cinematographer Alexander Gruszynski ("I Like It Like That") directs the movie with a decent flair for lighting and camera angles, so (with the ... Read More

Rating:  - about the film/movie black dawn..........
This DVD film/movie has been sold in Singapore and I grabbed one copy and watched....hee hee and the story is basically about the stoppage of sale of the nuclear bomb which ended up been activated by timer where Seagal and his woman colleagues managed top get rid of the bomb by throwing into sea from helicopter and the explosion went off after several minutes and the whole story ended. Recommended to those whom are interested in this genre of film/movie.
