Where to Watch Nico
- ርልዪረ23 februari 2025My Favourite Seagal film, and also his first I believe. Myself and my kids have always loved Martial Art related movies. It started with the Karate Kid trilogy but as a family we all took up Karate and reached a high level over the years. It was then we realised the likes of Karate Kid and numerous others lacked authenticity when it came to the fight choreography. That is not the case with Nico. Not the most original plot but a decent supporting cast including Pam Grier and a young Sharon Stone made it watchable. What is breathtaking is Mr Seagal's obvious mastery of Aikido. He earned at least one of his Black Belt degrees training in Japan and I know from my own instuctors experiences they are not overly welcoming to westerners in their Dojo, so it is a big deal. I have watched other films by this man which were also watchable but this for me is a must.
- jackmeat10 februari 2025My quick rating - 6.1/10. This fight for no-reason government conspiracy action flick still holds up quite well. If you are familiar with Steven Seagal's work, this is one of his best. He plays Nico Toscani, an Italian immigrant, American patriot, ex-CIA agent, aikido specialist, and unorthodox Chicago policeman. He is as committed to his job as he is to his personalized brand of justice—expert and thorough bone-crushing. Pam Grier plays his partner as they bust a typical drug deal that turns out to be a far deeper conspiracy causing them to have no one to trust. The hand-to-hand fight scenes were well done and for his first time film, Seagal established himself as a box office action star almost immediately. Seems sort of timely right now with some high ranking official believing they are "immune" to the law.

Han var en hemlig agent som tränats i Vietnamn. Han har bemästrat 6:e graden av svarta bältet i Aikido. Kort sagt, han är en tuff snut! Chicagosnuten Nico Toscani (Steven Seagal) är något stort på spåren. Misstänkta från en knarkrazzia blir släppta direkt. Medan Nico själv blir ombedd att lämna poliskåren. Det kan hända att han inte längre är en snut, men han är fortfarande med i hetluften! Steven Seagal gör här sin debut på vita duken och slår sig in i toppen som en av actiongenrens stora stjärnor, när han spårar upp före detta CIA agenter som numera sysslar med narkotikasmuggling, samtidigt som dom planerar att mörda en hög politisk ämbetsman.
