An action-packed slog

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

Out For Justice is an excellent Film which is just amazing and enjoyable to watch. The film is quite a brutal film with harsh violence but the fight scenes are powerful and excellent. Out For Justice also has excellent acting by Steven Seagal, William Forsythe, Jerry Orbach and Jo Champa. Seagals acting as Dt Gino Felino, a man who wants to do his job and cares about family and friends is excellent and so are the other actors acting. William Forsythes acting as the insane and malicious villain Richie, a man who doesn't show remorse for people he doesn't like is also excellent. Jerry Forbach and Jo Champas acting as Cpt Ronnie Donzinger and Vicky Felino (the wife of Gino Felino) is also excellent. Gino Felino is a guy that you don't want to mess with and after Bobbys death and the killings that have been done by insane and malicious Richie have made Gino angry and Gino has want to go looking for Richie, his gang and anybody else known to Richie and sort them out using his powerful strength and martial arts fight moves. Out For Justice is another excellent Seagal movie and should not be missed.

I'll guess that you either love Seagal or hate him.I certainly loved him in his Warner Bros. era (not forgetting 'Marked for Death'). And in particularly this movie. It reminds me of 'Above the Law' because he once again plays a spaghetti cop with a grudge. This time it's just goes all in on bone crushing violence. Seagal is not out for justice - he's out for good old, ice cold, an eye for an eye, swift and brutal vengeance! And he gets it! With meat cleavers, cue balls, sticks, shot guns, to the ground aikido beatings and a f-ing corkscrew! He crushes, smashes and slices his way through the bones, teeth and flesh of the bad guys, accompanied by bullets from his preferred sidearm. The story is not more than what a 90's action flick need to have. Seagal is let loose by his superior (Jerry Orbach) to catch the crazy would be mafioso Richie Madano who just killed Seagals best friend. Like in 'Above the Law' Seagals character with the (once again clingy Italian) name Gino Felino has friendly ties to the Italian mob and soon he has kicked his way to some information about the whereabouts of his former childhood acquaintance turned drug head lunatic and the climatic showdown can begin. There is not much to say about the acting, cause Steven basically just beats anyone and anything in his surrounding on his way to get Richie. Seagal himself plays Seagal like in any other Seagal movie only adding a bad Brooklyn accent. And that's how it should be done. At the age of 10 I would hate the actor if didn't liked the character he would portray (Childs logic). I really hated William Forsythe! So I guess it's my way to acknowledge his portrayal of the dope dealing, crazy, drug head and wannabe mafioso Richie Madano. Even with the rather small amount of screen time, he still succeed in bringing a bit more mad craziness in to the character than you usually would find in those types of movie bad guys. So when he finally gets his must deserved whooping you almost find yourself cheering for Seagal to breaks his bones. I really like this movie. Especially due to the degree of brutality in the fight scenes. It takes it a step further than the other action movies of that period. The fighting scenes will most definitely make you slip a ''whooa!'' or ''ooouch!'' once or twice!I like Steven Seagal for his on screen persona actually being one of the few action heroes of his time without any soft edges, like the macho style of Bronson and Eastwood before him. He is a no bull sh*t man who always wins because he IS better than his opponents. There is no need for you to take a serious beating (like JCVD in all his movies) if all it takes is to break the guy's neck. And that is was you can count on Seagal to do! And in this movie he does so very well. One of his best and one of my favorites.

As much as I enjoy watching movies about bad guys, especially the main villain, get their comeuppance, I can't say I particularly enjoyed Out For Justice. The problem with the story, is that the villains are not people you love to hate, and as a result, I didn't much care what would happen. Sure, Seagal kicks butt, and shoots the baddies, which about the only thing this movie has going for it, but he's no Stallone, Schwarzenegger, or Bronson. He certainly doesn't sound like a tough guy. The movie may have drama, but there's no bite or suspense, and doesn't do the "Death Wish" films any justice.** out of ****

This is basically a story or revenge. Proud Italian cop, Gino Felino (Seagal in one of his better acting efforts) is chasing down bad guy, wannabe mobster, chicken s..t piece of puke, Richie Madano, played with such villainry by character actor, William Forsythe, (gees Steve must get sick of being surrounded by good actors). Richie had his own reasons for gunning down a neighborhood friend/and dirty cop, Bobby Lupo, Gino's partner and best friend, who we only meet at the start, before Seagal throws a black pimp through the windshield of a car. Well, not entirely. He came charging at Steve and you can pretty much fill in the rest, cause you know what happens to anyone who does that. Now why did the pimp get angry at Steve. Well, just lets Seagal had his reasons. The pimp was getting throttled, because he was slapping one of his ho's around, who has gotten pregnant, and he was spouting off some threats to Seagal. They were lewd and disrespecting too, about family members. In this first scene, Steven sabotages this undercover operation, with this soon to be dead partner, on principal. This is Seagal's bloodiest film ever, as a number four outing, fans won't be disappointed if loving the others. It's a shame, that in today not so fortunate times, Seagal just resorts to dishing out crap, one b grade after the other, The Foreigner, a few years back was a joke. Most of this action charged movie, where Steve doesn't muck around here, has him trying to track Richie down, one instance, by chance, he spots him, where a car chase ensues, followed by some heavy violence, and much more later. One elongated scene, has Seagal, going to Richie's younger brother's, another piece of.... who runs a subterranean bar/snooker place. Insults and many fists are exchanged, and a lot of blows at Steve's hand, one guy spitting out a score of teeth for his futile attempt when actually trying to hit him. Bad mistake. Pool cues become weapons of death, where a cool and riveting stick fight ensues. Seagal too shares some childhoods stories, and there are other lighter and potent scenes, and we do see a lighter side to his character. I fully appreciated these scenes and they blend in well with the rest of the movie. We do too have the mafia who backs up Steve, in his quest to track down the enemy, who is tarnishing this mob's rep, with having authorities think Richie's with them which he's certainly not. Steven also makes a friend, a little puppy, who some d..k throws out a window, where the dog comes bite it's neglected owner in the last scene, another I appreciated. A good note to end this flick, on especially after the garbage has been taken out prefore OFJ is quite a good cop drama, with a lot of action and bloody violence, (I'm talking' the loss of a few body parts) where the cat and the mouse run rampant, which makes for a great moment of vengeance, when they finally do meet.
