Why I love American Cinema

I recently came across this description of a movie in my Comcast guide thingy..

Shadow Man:
"Steven Seagal stars in this explosive action thriller about an ex-CIA operative who gets mixed up in international espionage when the tries to rescue his kidnapped daughter and stop a deadly virus from falling into enemy hands."

How could that be bad?

Seriously.

Total awesomeness.

Signs of a "Greatest Movie Ever" event:

Steven Seagal is involved

At least two plots, one of which must be "kidnapped daughter"

Either hero or villain must be a gov't representative (preferably police, spies, or military, not like dude that works at the DMV) but GONE ROGUE

No less than 10 minutes and no more than 30 minutes may be filmed with a colored filter over the lens so as to simulate night vision, preferably from the perspective of the audience rather than through the eyes of a character who might have reason to wear night vision

Somehow involves going to the center of the earth to save said center of the earth and/or president and/or kidnapped daughter

Two words: Ancient Warriors starring a Baldwin

(my verification word is "MANDON" and I am slightly uncomfortable, and yeah, I know that's not two words, captain mathy.)
