Prophetic lines to say the least, uttered by Gary Daniels in the beginning of the movie, almost as if he knew what crap that is Submerged was going to 'surface' from Anthony Hilcox.
I think most of the reviews already got it the high points of the film. The supporting cast (some of them) is the movie's only saving grace of 2 stars.
Heres some hilarious things to look out for if you dare watch this malady:
-Seagal's odd Cajun accent, which he ONLY uses for some reason in the beginning of the film! Its like he forgot to do the Cajun bit or just said to hell with it. Some future classic lines such as, "Where my crew?", "What if he not?", "Who the f--- is this?" and of course, "Theres some...sick sh-- up in here alligatah." Freaking hilarious.
-Seagal's entrance on the ship. Rocking Michael Bay esque music out of nowhere starts and we have a huge Seagal waddling in slow motion. The thuds when he walks are particularly fitting.
-Seagal's prison outfit. He's the only one who would where a blue denim suit (borrowed from DMX maybe?) while everyone else is in regular orange jumpers. Also, note the stat listings on his so called team (a la Out for a Kill).
-Toy planes. Thunderbirds are go!
-Seagal's fight with Daniels in which he starts throwing a cursing tantrem, then nods as if he had just heard some Zen wisdom or something! Easily the funniest part of the movie and worth the watch.
-Seagal always laying in the shadows and mumbling like he's film noir or something.
-Vinnie Jones clocking out an usher.
-Seagal's fight with the unnamed black guy at the end.
-The Mexican member of his team whose special ability is apparently being able to switch gears on a stick shift car while sitting in the passenger seat (look ma, no clutch!). Look close and use the pause button for this one!
-The ambiguous ending (sequel perhaps? I hope not).
Another one for those Seagal fans who have a strange curiosity to watch what the great one has become.

I now have every movie that Steven Segal has made and all of them aare exlent! I will be waiting for his next movie to come out.
Ultimately Dissatisfied
Although I have not seen all of Steven's movies, I have seen most, and this is the worst, of the most, I've seen. There is too much shooting and betrayals, non stop, from begining to end. It was too hard to keep on top of the plots and scenarios, and it seemed that the only ones loyal to each other was Cody's (Steven's) team. And Steven was completely out of character, at several different points in the movie, I think someone was voicing over Steven, especially when he had to say bad words, most of Steven's movies he rarely swears, but this movie is full of swearing, even by him, and alot of times it didn't sound like Steven's voice. The movie has lots of action, and if you want to see Steven out of his usual character, lots of betraying, killing galore and if you think you can keep up with the non stop 'betraying scenarios' then this movie is probably for you.
Yes folks, "Mumbles the Wrist Snapper" has struck again. Seagal has perfected the art of playing CIA operatives with different names--he's quite the versatile actor. (Though let us not forget that Seagal claims to have been a CIA operative in real life.) Seagal has stated that as his early films were produced by the mob, he was often forced into making films he really did not want to make. This, he has stated, explains some of the low quality of his earlier films. Now, he asserts, he's free to make whatever type of film he wants. Apparently, now that the man seems to have lost his mind and thinks he's some type of reincarnated Eastern religious figure (which he really does, I kid you not), the types of films he wants to make are incoherent messes with little-to-no fighting,...

Do not, do not purchase this movie. I just finished seeing it for the first time recently, and I can say hands down that this was far and away the worst movie that Steven Seagal has ever made. Although I am not a prude, the language was disgusting with Mother F***** this and Mother F****** that every 10 seconds. The plot went nowhere and it was filled with unnecessary violence. Most of his old movies went somewhere, but this one was one violence, bad language filled scene after scene after scene. If you liked the old Steven Seagal movies, you won't like this one.

Gee another Steven Segal BOMB, wonder what this guy is thinking about??? The story takes place in Poland and a little girl whom Seagal has befriended via penpal has been kidnapped for prostitution purposes.Seagal arrives in Warsaw and single handedly fights the Turkish mob which is behind the above mentioned prostitution ring.The finale is laughable as Stevie being fat and old as he is, proceeds to kill the bad guy witha sword!!!!
