Hard to Kill (1990) is a high-octane action thriller directed by Bruce Malmuth, starring Steven Seagal in one of his most iconic roles. Packed with intense fight sequences, gunfights, and Seagalโs signature Aikido moves, the film helped solidify his status as a major action star of the early '90s.
Seagal plays Mason Storm, a tough LAPD detective who uncovers a deadly conspiracy involving corrupt politicians and law enforcement. Before he can act, he is ambushed in his home, his wife is murdered, and he is left for dead. After spending seven years in a coma, Mason miraculously recovers, only to find that his enemies still want him dead. With the help of a caring nurse (Kelly LeBrock), he embarks on a brutal mission of revenge, using his lethal martial arts skills to take down those who wronged him.
Filled with explosive action, brutal hand-to-hand combat, and classic one-liners, Hard to Kill is a quintessential Seagal film, showcasing his unique brand of no-nonsense justice. The movie is also known for its famous "Iโm gonna take you to the bank... the blood bank" line, which has become a fan-favorite moment.
Released in 1990, Hard to Kill was a box office success, further establishing Steven Seagal as one of the top action stars of the era. If you love gritty revenge thrillers with relentless action, this is a must-watch
