Half Past Dead (aka "Dead-Thirty") is a 2002 action movie in which a criminal infiltrates a prison to interrogate a prisoner about the location of a fortune in gold while an undercover FBI agent has to stop him. The film stars Steven Seagal, Morris Chestnut, Ja Rule, Nia Peeples, Kurupt, and Claudia Christian. It is written and directed by Don Michael Paul and produced by Elie Samaha, Uwe Schott and Allison Semenza. Distribution and copy rights are held by Columbia Pictures.
Half Past Dead was Steven Seagal's last movie to be released theatrically in many countries until 2010's Machete.
This is the first and (as of the present) only Steven Seagal film not to be rated R (the film was rated PG-13 by the MPAA).
