KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

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

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Prismark10 Steven Seagal had great early 1990s as a leading action man although apart from Under Siege his films were not that good.However a growing ego and belly, a reputation to be difficult to work with and interview led a downward spiral of poor films many of them going straight to DVD.In Urban Justice he plays the dad of a vice cop killed on duty. Seagal is out to get the culprits no matter what. His trail leads to some rival gangs but one gang leader is in league with some dirty cops for money and drugs.The plot is simple although it gets lost with the stereotypical street hoodlums and gangster jive. Its a B movie filler with a leading man that is out of shape, puffy with a bad hair piece/implants. A lot of Seagal's fight scenes are done in semi darkness with him making similar moves such as taking the gun from the bad guy standing a few feet away from him. A move he has done for years and several decades in this film.The film is bad and only loosely entertaining mainly because of Eddie Griffin.

Samiam3 I like the way Urban Justice is set-up. It is simple strait forward, nicely paced for a ninety minute feature and the action is more visually coherent than anything I've seen Seagal do so far this decade.The film does not begin with him. It begins with LAPD officer Max Balister, who is asked by a contact to meet him on a side street, the second he steps out of the car, he is shot dead. After the funeral the next day, his father Simon (also a cop) begins his search for revenge, he heads into the rougher parts of town, where his son might have been spying on the drug operations. Going up against a wall of fire power, It will be yet another dangerous but playable game for Seagal.There are few bits in Urban Justice worth noting. Generally, out of every twenty action movies (with gun play), I would say that only one has a shooter who is smart enough to aim for the tires during a car chase. Urban Justice has one such fella. Needless to say, the idea proves futile, cause nothing can bring Seagal down. The fight scenes are much more coherent. Rather than being fast and choppy, the gun play here is slower and more convincingly brutal. Every time someone takes a bullet, it is a flesh wound which spills a fair quantity of blood (not too much though). In these shots, the frame rate is a mere five to ten frames per second. Slow-mo can be extremely cheesy if overdone, and sometimes Urban justice comes close, but not quite. Just yesterday I would have said, Seagal was now too old too kick butt well, but he doesn't do too badly here. He breaks a lot of bones, and necks among other things.Home video release or not, Urban Justice, is moderately enjoyable actually. Though far from great, it successfully avoids some of the pitfalls that have degraded Seagal's worst features.

daworldismine this brutal action flick, sees steven seagal return to top form in a fantastic throwback to his marked for death and out for justice days, as seagal gets revenge for the murder of his son. seagal kicks some ass here in some of the most brutal fight scenes he's done since his early films and he still looks the part here, the story is simple seagal's son is a cop and one night he is murdered in the hood, and then steven seagal gets revenge and it's a voilent action fest full of what seagal fans love from his films. great budget and some fantstic action set pieces make urban justice the best steven seagal film for years, and trust mee this is 100 percent bad ass seagal back on top form in a must see action revenge flick.

HunterDK Steven Seagal is back as a dad who seeks revenge for his killed son. He wants justice to be done. It sounds like a new Death Wish movie supplied with some kung fu, and that is what it probably was supposed to be.It could have been a decent movie, but it really fails in almost every aspect. The acting is as you could expect in a Steven Seagal movie, but the fight scenes are way below the quality in movies like the two Under Siege movies. It seems like that Steven Seagal is either too old or too unfit to perform action like in the old days. Instead he is always standing and just lifting a leg or punching. Therefore the fight scenes are also very short and cut in a quick way, so we do not see how old and slow the action star is today. We also have a car chase in the movie, but it is really not worth mentioning. The pursuit is slow, and at times you can see that the picture has been accelerated so it looks faster than it really is.The story is also pretty simple and straight forward, but the script is not what you would consider Oscar material. It is of course not what you expect from a Seagal movie, but it could at least have been a bit better. Well, it is not.There was a time where you could find something good in a Steven Seagal movie, but those days are over. Today his movies are just as bad as the worst from Van Damme and Chuck Norris. It is a shame, but maybe Lord Steven should consider retiring and instead focus on his music.
