Exclusive: Steven Seagal has a kickass goatee in this clip from Absolution

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

I have fond memories of Steven Seagal kicking ass in movies like HARD TO KILL, MARKED FOR DEATH, and UNDER SIEGE. Hell, Seagal’s brief scenes in EXECUTIVE DECISION were pretty awesome too. In recent years, the man has done everything from direct to video action flicks to reality television. Even at the age of 63, the man is still churning out movies on a regular basis. His latest, ABSOLUTION, opens next month and we have an exclusive first clip from the movie.

When a contract killer (Steven Seagal) encounters a girl on the run from a mob boss (Vinnie Jones) with powerful political ties, he is torn between protecting the girl, and remaining loyal to the government agency that hired him for the mission.

Seagal has played characters good and evil but he has rarely been adorned with such a magnificent beard. On the merits of the goatee alone I will give ABSOLUTION a shot, but it also doesn’t hurt that Vinnie Jones is in this as well. Do I have high expectations for this movie to be a return to Seagal’s heyday? No, but you could do worse than seeing him kick ass and take names. Hell, his goatee could do it all by itself!

ABSOLUTION opens in theaters and on-demand May 15th.
