Out for Justice

Rating:
Summary: This is the perfect Steven Seagal movie.......
Review: With this entry Steven Seagal and director John Flynn delivered one of the most enjoyable action thrillers from the past 15 years. Out For Justice also show cases one of the best martial arts bar room brawl fight scenes ever put to film. Seagal in his day was hugely popular simply because his movies were violent and he was enjoyable to watch as he snapped arms, legs and anything else that came his way. Under Siege, one year later was Seagals biggest box office success however Out For Justice beats it hands down for extreme Seagal action. Seagal really seems to enjoy himself in these earlier movies like this one, Above The Law, Hard To Kill and Marked For Death but after Under Siege his new found world popularity seemed to go to his head and he was never again able to deliver a movie as solid as anything he made prior to Under Siege. In this one he is the hard as nails Steven Seagal that made him an action star in the first place. His martial arts capabilities are on full display in this movie with excellent and numerous aikido scenes against multiple opponents. William Forsythe plays Seagals adversary Richie Madano as a crazy, annoying wannabe gangster and you get right behind Seagal as he anilities Richie and his gang at the end. This is a full on over the top violent adult thriller that does not hold back any punches in its depiction of violent scenes. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys violent action thrillers and a must own for any Steven Seagal fan.

Summary: Possibly The Greatest Cinematic Experience Ever
Review: 'Out For Justice' is amazing. Its about a beret-wearing cop(Lord Steven doing the worst Italian accent ever) who's hunting down a psychotic drug addict gangster who killed Stevie's best friend. Lord Steven searches for this psycho because, obviously, killing is wrong. But along the way Seagal manages to maim, murder, and generally kick the crap out of just about everyone that gets any sort of screentime.

He literally pounds everyone for nearly the entire film. The cursing is fast, furious, and usually pointless. Stereotypes are the norm in this world. The bodies pile up quickly and Lord Steven stomps so much rectum that I think his foot needed an enema after filming.

'Out For Justice' is one of those films that you wonder why it was made but when you see it, you thank god that it was. Beautiful. Hopefully a 8-disc special edition will be released in the near future.

Summary: Steven Seagal Fans...
Review: 'Out For Justice' is my second favourite Steven Seagal movie. My most favourite is 'Hard To Kill'. If you like Steven Seagal, I highly recommend both of them for your DVD collection.

Summary: ANOTHER ONE OF SEAGAL'S FILMS FROM THE GOOD OL DAYS
Review: A BROOKLYN COP [SEAGAL] GOES AFTER A CHILDHOOD FRIEND. HAS PLENTY OF GOOD ACTION TO SPARE AND IT HAS A VERY GOOD VILLAIN, WHO'S PLAYED BY WILLIAM FORSYTHE. THIS IS ANOTHER REMINDER OF HOW GOOD STEVEN SEAGAL'S MOVIES REALLY WERE BACK IN THE EARLIER DAYS OF HIS CAREER. SEAGAL FANS SHOULD DEFINITELY TRY TO GO OUT AND BUY THIS ONE. THIS IS REALLY WORTH OWNING.

Summary: The Beginning of Seagal's "Fat Era"... which continues today
Review: Alright... not bad by Seagal's standards. Lots of borken limbs... numerous fights where Seagal takes on multiple opponents who are nice enough to attack him one at a time... a bad guy who's totally "crazy" and "unpredictable" ...unfortunately, this is the point in Seagal's career where his physical ability starts to fail him. The fight scenes steadily become duller and duller... which opens up a whole new bag of complaints.
I feel that Seagal was probably a very good martial artist at one point in his life... he may still be... who am I kidding. The big problem with his style (Aikido) is that it never was very theatric... and therefore may have little entertainment value to an average action movie fan... unless you are a fan of watching martial arts technique. (even then I feel many of his movies use camerawork that defeats this purpose) So his fight scenes had a limited ability to entertain from the get go. As his abilities decrease they become worse and worse to the point where they rely on camera tricks and special effects.
This film is at the tip of the decline. Therefore it's ok. I personally I don't watch Seagal films for a "quality movie experience." I'm trying to review this film from the perspective of the average action movie fan, hopefully it's somewhat helpful to you.

Summary: Anybody seen Richie??? EHH???
Review: As far as being a good movie, it isn't. But watching Seagal try and pull off an Italian accent could be even funnier than this terrible diologue. This movie contains the best cinematic scene of all time. It has the best one-liners you've been looking for from momaluke to finoke. This is a film to watch for making fun of, not to take seriously. Seagal at his worst, great.

Summary: "Anybody seen Richie? Anyone know why he did Bobby Lupo?"
Review: Director John Flynn followed up Stallone's "Lock Up" with "Out for Justice", Steven Seagal's 4th film. This is another in a succession of guilty pleasure ass kicking films that Seagal started with his debut, '88's Above the Law. You either appreciate this kind of movie or you don't. Anyone expecting Eastwood acting out of Seagal at this point, hasn't been watching his movies. Now, if you know what you're in for: A real psycho is on the loose and Seagal goes after him, kicking the crap out of anyone in his way, then you won't be disappointed. I consider this to be one of Seagal's most entertaining. Plenty of wonderful violence abound, not to mention plenty of outrageously articulated fight scenes (in butcher shops & pool halls!)where Seagal gains little more than a scratch, if that. The plot! - Seagal is cop (surprise!) Gino Felino who "investigates" (aka violently kicks the butts of) all the slime balls who may know the where abouts of Richie Madano (William Forsythe looking fat and sloppy), the fat crack head who killed his childhood friend. Bottom line: Richie is out of control and on that stuff, going around shooting people willy nilly so Seagal sets out to stop him. Does he? What do you think, cool breeze? You'll love that classic intro where Seagal throws a violent pimp through a windshield. What a way to display the film title huh? Besides, any movie where Seagal confronts an animal abuser, kicks him between the legs, then lets his dog pee on him, can't be that bad right?!

*Look for Jerry Orbach, Gina Gershon, Julianna Margulies, Shannon Whirry, & John Leguizamo in small roles.

Also recommended with Seagal:
Above the Law
Under Siege
and for some real fun...
On Deadly Ground
Fire Down Below
Ticker
(these three are priceless in humor alone!)

Summary: a power house. pure adrenaline.
Review: FIRST HE WAS ABOVE THE LAW. THEN HE WAS HARD TO KILL. THEN HE WAS MARKED FOR DEATH. NOW STEVEN SEAGAL IS OUT FOR JUSTICE. HE IS A COP. IT'S A DIRTY JOB. BUT SOMEBODY HAS GOT TO TAKE OUT THE GARBAGE. AND STEVE DOES. HE HAS TO TRY TO STOP A MADMAN WILLIAM FORSYTHE BEFORE IT IS TO LATE. VERY GOOD ACTION SCENES AND SEAGALS MOST GRAPHIC MOVIE. RATED R FOR STRONG VIOLENCE,STRONG LANGUAGE,AND BRIEF NUDITY.
