Thoughts on Seized
Thoughts – Seized is an action film that will follow the traditional idea of a special forces person that will need to go up against a string of enemies to rescue a member of their family. It is a tried and tested formula, easy to watch and has brutal action, even if it never hits the levels of a John Wick like action movie. Scott Adkins in any action film works for the low budget side of things, with the villains filling the typical cartel figures. This is one that will never standout as one of the greatest, but it will be one that will entertain for an easy hour and a half.
Final Thoughts – Seized is an easy to watch action thriller that is what you would imagine for late-night tv.
