Eye Candy #391 - "The Keeper" (SEAGAL! #7)

The Keeper:  Another cinematic gem from Steven Seagal, this time around he’s an ex-cop from Los Angeles, Rolland Salinger, who was wounded by his old partner over drug money (his partner wanted to take it, Seagal didn’t).  Unable to work on the force any more, he travels to New Mexico at the request of an old friend, Connor Wells (Steph Duvall),  to guard his daughter Nikita (Liezl Carstens) after an attempt is made on her life.  Soon, Rolland runs afoul of the local mob who want Well’s property for their own, as well as Nikita’s boxer boyfriend.  Rolland starts making holes in bad guys like tooth decay makes holes in teeth.  Better than most as Seagal isn’t over-dubbed, isn‘t wildly overweight, and the plot doesn’t stray to far from his fairly proven formula (i.e. no vampires or weird pseudo sci-fi nonsense).  Woodchuck sez, “Watchable.”
