Comment/Synopsis

Steven Seagal is the cook (a former navy SEAL) who saves the battleship (taken over by terrorists, with a good peformance from Tommy Lee Jones) and the world with the help of a female singer (and the catering department). The film is violent, as Steven Seagal killes off the bad guys one by one, but also has some humour, in some comic one-liners. One of the best of Steven Seagal's films. The film was both a commercial and critical successand was patric O'Neal's final film.
