Best movie of this year hands down!
Simply Perfect
Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Like basically every Seagal film, he takes every bad action film cliché, bundles them all up, and with some kind of terrible computer algorithm he creates yet another pile of dirt of a film. I would love to chop his stupid pony tail off and hold it to ransom in order to force him to stop ever making movies again.
Out for Justice is only memorable for the action scenes and Steven Seagal showcasing his martial arts prowess back when he was fit and athletic compared to today where he outweighs an overweight Elvis Presley. Truth be bold some parts are very corny, and the acting is rather ordinary. If you don't take things seriously and just disengage your brain for 91 minutes and enjoy the brutally violent fight scenes you'll find that this movie will fill in your time.Hard nosed renegade NYPD Detective Gino Felino (Steven Seagal) goes after Richie Madano (William Forsythe), an out of control, drug addicted criminal who brutally murders Gino's friend and partner Bobby Lupo (Joe Spataro) in broad daylight in front of his wife and children. After getting approval from Captain Ronnie Donziger (the late Jerry Orbach) Gino is given a shotgun, an unmarked police car, and a licence to navigate through Brooklyn and its seedy underbelly to take down Richie and his goons especially after the mafia who views Ritchie as a loose cannon and will not interfere with Gino's manhunt of Ritchie. It is also revealed that Gino, Bobby and Ritchie grew up together in Brooklyn and Ritchie has been a common enemy throughout most of their lives. As Ritchie continues his homicidal rampage, Gino relentlessly pursues Ritchie to avenge the death of his friend and partner Bobby.Steven Seagal does what he does best here by kicking butt and taking names. After exploding onto the Hollywood scene with his debut movie Above the Law (1988) Steven Seagal was a mainstay as an action superstar throughout the late 80's and for a majority of the 1990's. It's a shame that his career has all but evaporated and with his supersized belly he finds himself appearing in lethargic direct to DVD action movies.William Forsythe has always been an effective villain and here in Out for Justice, he is the perfect fit as the psychotic, drug addled Ritchie who has gone on a warpath through Brooklyn.Alongside the late Jerry Orbach keep an eye out for Gina Gershon (Face/Off), Julianna Margulies (ER), Dominic Chianese (The Sopranos) and John Leguizamo (Carlito's Way) in small roles.Out for Justice is enjoyable for it's fight scenes and Steven Seagal doing what he does best, but don't have high expectations and you'll enjoy it for what it is.7/10.
Steven Seagal was leaner, meaner and had his own hair when he first started out making tough visceral action films. Well he still has his own hair but it comes originally from a shop and his actions films these days are flabby and lazy like him.He plays tough cop Gino an Italian American cop in Brooklyn who grew up with hoods and one of them Ritchie (William Forysthe) is on a crime spree that involved killing Gino's fellow cop in broad daylight. He even starts killing innocent bystanders and his psycho antics even alarms the local Mafia bosses.Gino is a lone wolf, he does not believe in having back up. In fact he thinks some of his fellow cops are more crooked than the mob. He is happy to walk into a bar and beat up hardened criminals to get information for the whereabouts of Ritchie and his gang. He even goes to Ritchie's frightened and law abiding parents and tells them that he will kill him when he finds him.The story is repetitive as Gino goes here and there looking for Ritchie beating anyone who stands in his way in brutal fashion such as the hoodlum pinned to the wall by a cleaver.The broad acting is left to Forsythe who chews up the scenery as Ritchie as he realises the script has little to offer him as an actor apart from terrorising people.
Not the slickest of the Steven Seagal repertoire but certainly the most violent. It is a crude and lewd downright dirty ditty of Cops/Drug Dealers/Mafioso. This is a Seagal juggernaut. The body count is high and so is the Villain. Constantly hitting the crack-pipe and executing People like it is free.Fans of the Star rate this one at the top and for good reason. It delivers on all accounts. The Story of a Kid who escaped the Neighborhood crime elements and became a Cop is clichéd but we believe it here. He motivates the streets in and out of bars and restaurants and always seems in control, even when he is confronted by a room full of really Bad Guys. Of course he makes mincemeat out of them, one time in a butcher shop, literally.This is Seagal at his best and most ferocious, but always maintaining a certain buy-able sensitive side. Like when he visits the Villain's Father or is talking about his own childhood. A lot of the appeal to this gritty City Movie must be allied with William Forsythe's despicable turn as Richie Madano, perhaps the most unlikeable street thug ever on screen. Together with Seagal's arguably, most rich and rewarding performance, they make for one gloriously gory Story.
