Half Past Dead is a 2002 American action film written and directed by Don Michael Paul in his directorial debut, and produced by Steven Seagal, who also starred in the lead role. The film co-stars Morris Chestnut, Ja Rule, and Nia Peeples. It was released in the United States on November 15, 2002.
The film tells the story of a criminal who infiltrates a prison to interrogate a prisoner about the location of a fortune in gold while an undercover FBI agent has to stop him. Distribution and copyrights are held by Columbia Pictures.
In San Francisco, Sasha Petrosevitch (Steven Seagal) is a Russian car thief who's brought in by criminal Nick Frazier (Ja Rule) to work for crime boss Sonny Eckvall (Richard Bremmer), who apparently shot and killed Sasha's wife. After some time, FBI Special Agent Ellen "E. Z." Williams (Claudia Christian) and her team show up to nail Nick, but things go bad, and Sasha gets shot.
After eight months of recovery following his brief bout of being clinically dead from the shooting, Sasha is incarcerated along with Nick in the newly reopened Alcatraz prison. Run by the charismatic warden, Juan Ruiz "El Fuego" Escarzaga (Tony Plana), the place is known for its new state of the art death chamber where the condemned can choose from five different ways to die: lethal injection, gas chamber, hanging, firing squad, or electric chair.
No wasted
No wanting the can't have
Untasted
Seems everything I have
Yeah ready
Heard everything you said
I'm steady
Even though it's half past dead
Welcome to the unforgiving
Franernity of pain where
the lines remains uncrossed
Are entertained
Greetings from the other side
Where all has gone array here
But in all honesty takes me away
There
See your new Jerusalem
In saturated red
Commencement of the requiem
Begins at half past dead
Half past dead
Welcome to the humiliating
Theater insane where
Our daily theme
Is always inhumane here
Rebuild your shattered castles
From ashes to the sky
Pick-up your fallen icons
Where they lie,
There
See your new Jerusalem
In saturated red
Commencement of the requiem
Begins at half past dead
Half past dead
All eyes front and looking toward the sky
Better then I do
One step up if you're not afraid to die
Better then you do
Violent movement spawns brutality
Better then I do
Charging out into infinity
Better then you do
Peace comes to the war inside my head
Better then I do
Peace comes late, the clock strikes
