Half Past Dead

Half Past Dead (2002) is an action thriller directed by Don Michael Paul that pairs Steven Seagal with rapper Ja Rule — watch online on iFILM. Morris Chestnut and Nia Peeples round out the cast inside the walls of New Alcatraz, a state-of-the-art maximum-security prison.

FBI agent Sascha Petrosevich goes undercover inside New Alcatraz to get close to a death-row inmate who knows the location of a $200 million gold cache. Before Sascha can work the information loose, a team of heavily armed criminals storms the facility with the same target in mind. The prison goes into lockdown, hostages are taken, and Sascha has to keep his cover intact while fighting his way through every floor of the building.

The film doesn't reach beyond its genre ambitions — it's a confined-space action picture that moves fast and leans on Seagal's presence to carry the slower stretches. Fans of late-era Seagal who want a straightforward prison siege should stream Half Past Dead (2002) online on iFILM.
