Steven Seagal’s new movie, Born to Raise Hell, was supposed to hit the market this past Tuesday, October 19th. If you happen to live in the UK and other parts of the world, you can enjoy a Seagal style ass-whooping, but North American audiences can’t help but notice that Born to Raise Hell is noticeably missing in action.

Here is a synopsis via Beyond Hollywood:

Samuel Axel (Seagal) is a tough as nails Interpol Agent assigned to a task force in Eastern Europe. His target is those that traffic guns and dope throughout the Balkans. When an investigation puts him on the trail of a Russian gun dealer he learns how deadly life in Eastern Europe can truly be. Axel and his team are witness to a bloody street war between a Gypsy gang and the Russians. And when the investigation turns fatal for one of his team members, Axel becomes consumed with the need for vengeance.

Though most of the world couldn’t care less about Seagal (except perhaps for Lawman, his recent sex scandal, and his turn in Machete), there’s still a sizable segment of action movie fans who revel in his films. He has managed to remain quite prolific, producing three or four direct-to-video titles each year. While some of his recent output pales in comparison to films like Out for Justice, Hard to Kill, and Under Siege, he still releases occasional gems. Roughly every third Seagal film holds up pretty well.

The trailer for Born to Raise Hell looks promising, full as it is with fistfights, gunplay, and Seagal being a general badass. But until someone actually releases the film in the US, we’ll have to wait patiently and be content with this small taste of the action.
