Arms dealers. Young Russian terrorists. Crooked CIA Black Ops. Special Agent Jonathan Cold(Steven Seagal)has his hands full. It's all about Plutonium, enough to make nuclear weapons and Cold will have to contend with lots of opposition coming out of the woodwork. CIA agent Amanda Stuart(Tamara Davies), who was trained by Cold, will assist him in trying to stop the terrorists(and whoever else)from getting their hands on the Plutonium. James Donovon(John Pyper-Ferguson)loses his brother, Michael(Julian Stone), in a shootout where Cold(undercover as a corrupt rogue agent in order to earn the graces of the Donovan brothers), must break cover in order to save Stuart who was captured. Stuart discovers that her superior, Chief agent Greer(Timothy Carhart, wasted)is actually behind the whole Plutonium scheme, the terrorists a foil for his plans. Action fans hoping for martial arts will be disappointed with BLACK DAWN. No snapped wrists or pummeled bodies. Mostly exchanges of gunfire and excess plot. Seagal may get the top billing but Davies does most of the heavy lifting. Long-haired, bearded Pyper-Ferguson makes for a fun snarling villain, but Carhart should've had more to do.
