After an illustrious special ops career ends in disaster, Alexander goes off the grid and attempts to lead a quiet life as a handyman at an apartment complex. But when one of his tenants and her family fall under the thumb of a Russian gangster, Alexander is dragged into an all-out war between rival Chinese and Russian gangs; forcing him to not only defend the family, but bringing him face to face with an old foe, and giving him one more chance to reconcile his past.

“What’s happenin’?” Steven Seagal asks a small child in this, and what’s happenin’ indeed.
*
A Good Man *is one of those straight-to-video cash grabs that Seagal had churned out year after year until he decided being a Russian ambassador was far more interesting to him. It’s almost ironic when you realize that he was doing that only a few years after making a movie where he fights members of the Russian mafia. No hard feelings, perhaps.
Whatever the case, Seagal the landlord seems more fitting for him than Seagal the special ops agent. This portrayal - taking up the whole first fifteen minutes or so of the film - would have worked better if Seagal was both younger and in shape, and maybe if he shaved that stupid goatee. This could have easily been a chance to cast a young unknown to play a flashback version of the aikido master, but something suggests his ego couldn’t take any of that, goatee included.
The story otherwise kind of works and looks like a film behind the usual setbacks of low budget fare - late-era Seagal being in it, boobs because the director wants eyes on the film because it’s not good, so on and so forth - but more on the backs of the younger supporting cast. Seagal has a younger man do more fighting than him, and this could mean either Days of Our Lives alum Victor Webster (who plays a major role in this film and has multiple fight scenes) or Seagal’s own stunt double. If anything on Seagal sees action, its the leather jacket - quite possibly the only one to be fully worn throughout a sex scene. At least Seagal acknowledges that none of us want to see what’s under it either.
I guess what I’m trying to say in short is A Good Man does not make a good movie. It’s barely passable, but I don’t think everyone involved in it dwells on it that much. At least I hope not.
