Absolution is a 2015 English-language Romanian action film directed by Keoni Waxman and starring Steven Seagal, Vinnie Jones, and Byron Mann. The film is a sequel to A Good Man, and is the sixth collaboration between Steven Seagal and director Waxman. The film also marks the third collaboration between Seagal and Jones (who starred in Submerged and Gutshot Straight, and between Seagal and Mann (who previously starred in Belly of the Beast and A Dangerous Man.

Production

Seagal said that he was attracted to the lead role because "I'm always trying to find something a little bit different from what people have seen me do before. I wanted to play somebody kind of mysterious and on the edge, so you don't really know if you like him or hate him until the middle of the movie." He says he wrote his character's line "I want to do one good thing before I die even if I die in the process of doing it".

It was one of several films Seagal made with Keoni Waxman. "I think that Keoni is one of the brightest young men out there", said Seagal. "I think he's a very good director. I think he has a wonderful story-mind, which is very important – in other words, he doesn't just have to film what's on the page... [he] understands editing, looping, dubbing, mixing, foley… He's a great friend: very ethical and very moral".

Waxman confirmed that Seagal wrote his character's opening monologue. He says everyone on the film "was just a little bit excited about the idea of hey, this one Steven wants to do something a little different. He was much more engaged with the character, much more engaged with the storyline, much more engaged with the idea that he had to have this absolution for this thing."

The film was shot in Romania, New Orleans, Louisiana and Atlanta, Georgia.
