Reviews
Out for Justice harbors an incredibly simple vengeance plot loaded with enough macho sadism to satiate the action genre's bloodthirsty fans.
If you're into this kind of thing, it works. If you're looking for a good crime flick, Scorsese it's not.
One of Seagal's few decent bonecrunchers thanks to good direction by the underrated John Flynn (The Outfit, Rolling Thunder, Best Seller).
As a courtesy to his many fans, the ponytailed action hero Steven Seagal not only attacks sleaze but also goes out of his way to examine it.
Seagal may be a success, but I'm just grateful he only makes one movie a year.
Seagal is a fascinating hero: he's not slick, he's not real handsome, he's a real strange dresser, and he doesn't seem all that nice a guy. Nevertheless, he's interesting and he's unpredictable. He gives me the creeps.
This is Old Jack City, a place where better actors and directors have taken us frequently in the last year. This particular trip seems unnecessary.
