The roughest of Alaska’s oil-rig roughnecks, Forrest Taft (Steven Seagal, also making his directorial debut) specializes in fighting oil-well fires. Yet he faces an even more incendiary battle against renegade Aegis Oil president Michael Jennings (Michael Caine). Aegis has put profits over environmental safety. And that puts Taft, a Native Alaskan activist (Joan Chen) and anyone else opposing the company on its hit list. But Taft hits back, using the martial arts, survival and explosives skills he learned as a high-level CIA operative. Going one-on-one or one-on-20, Taft lets the Aegis bullyboys know where they stand: mess with the land he loves and they’re On Deadly Ground.

The inimitable Steven Seagal was rewarded for the success of his prior action vehicles by being allowed to write and direct this one—something that would never be allowed to occur again.

The pinnacle of spectacle from a sultan of shamelessness. Still the destructive train wreck it's always been. And yet it’s one of Steven Seagal’s best movies, however low the bar, and more satisfying (however perversely) than any of his first four films.

[On Deadly Ground] has all the thrills and suspense of a rerun of Barney and Friends.

...grandstanding vanity which marked the apex of ambition and the zenith of achievement of Seagal's career to date...
