Audience Reviews for Marked for Death

Steven Seagal was the man back in the hey day of mindless action movies, and this one was an interesting change from the usual cop thrillers.Seagal play a retiring DEA agent, having had enough of the drugs and evils of his job, so he quits, makes his confession and gos back home to recuperate and forget about it all.
