Wow, this is a REALLY bad movie!
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.
One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
It's a great American martial arts movie. The fighting scenes were pretty impressive for American movie made in 90's. Of course the fighting scenes aren't that good as in Honk Kong movies, actually only few American movies have fighting scenes which are as good as in Honk Kong movies, even nowadays. When you watch American martial arts movie, you are expecting to see less impressive fighting scenes, but still having some nice moves, which can be surprisingly good sometimes, or at least that's what I'm expecting from these movies. I was impressed by this film. Some fighting scenes were really impressive, the acting, direction and the plot were good enough, so it's a really worth watching movie, if you like American martial arts films of the 90's.
I could not take my eyes off this movie when it showed up on cable. The dialogue and costumes are of a quality most readily associated with soft-core porn. In this case the expedient plot serves as a vehicle not for sex but for serial thrashings with nunchuks. (Perhaps for sex as well, but not on Indian TV, anyway.)Not being a fan of the genre I couldn't place Jeff Wincott, and had no leads to search from. Only once Brigitte Nielsen traded in her futuristic-nurse coif (so mayoral!) for the high-top fade we remember from Beverly Hills Cop II did I make the positive ID on her.This movie will no doubt entertain any admirer of early 90's couture or nod-and-wink schlock à la Paul Verhoeven. Can we add a genre tag for "so-bad-it's-good"?
Despite being titled "Martial Law III" in the US, "Mission of Justice" has nothing to do with the two previous "Martial Law" films - Jeff Wincott appears in the second one, but as a different character. Unlike those two films, the focus here stays almost exclusively on the male star (Wincott), who has three extended fight scenes among the smaller ones. His female cop partner Karen Sheperd is limited to a small supporting role and gets only one extended fight (Karen also sports an unflattering haircut that hides her beauty). The story begins well, but wears out in the second half. However, Wincott is good at projecting intensity and anger, and there are enough hard-hitting, bone-crunching fight scenes to keep most fans of this genre satisfied. Rent it before you buy it. (**)
A decent actioner. The story is weak and the acting is pretty lame but the action scenes aren't bad. Wincott's a ex-cop who joins a Guardian Angel-like organization with a more sinister agenda. It's worth a look just for the action. His female cop partner is amazing. She kicks ass like a man. The other female lead is Brigitte Nielson and she's terrible. She wore her welcome out long before the Surreal World and Strange Love. This is like many of Jeff's other movies. Mostly B-movies by independent studios like PM, where many of the productions people where 3 or 4 different hats. There's a scene here similar to the gym scene in WIncott's "Martial Outlaw" where Jeff has to fight through a gauntlet of fighters as an initiation into the Peacekeepers. The best scene in the movie.
