Summary: Another Seagal action film
Comment: You must see "Above The Law" and "Marked For Death". Along the same lines, very action packed.
Customer Rating:
Summary: My Favorite Steven Segal Movie!!
Comment: Like I said, this was my favorite Steven Segal movie! I also like Jerry Orbach, he appears briefly in this movie. This is great, Steven Segal chasing Richie all over Brooklyn, for gunning down Segal's partner.

Summary: "Seagal's best!! "
Comment: "B" and "Ollie" have said exactly how I feel. This is my favorite popcorn-action movie ever! The fights are the best, the hilarious credit sequence,a great villian played by William Forsythe, Mob goombahs, this flick has it all. The bar and butcher shop scenes are the best he ever did. This movie blows away the overrated "Under Siege". The end fight is great because Seagal just kicks Forsythe's butt! There is no cliche, good guy gets beat up by the bad guy JUST before the good guy comes back to beat the bad guy. Seagal doesn't get a scratch because Forsythe is an out of shape, drunk crack-head. The climax where he's tossed around by Seagal is awesome! Great movie!

Summary: Sorry Sly, the new Italian Stallion is Gino Felino
Comment: Just to keep all our fans up to date, we, Sid the Elf, have decided that to degrade these movies with a label such as "B movies" is wrong. Therefore, henceforth the movies formerly lumped into the B genre will be known as "Unintentional Comedy." Anyway, Sid the Elf can hardly believe what a terrific masterpiece he has just seen. Out For Justice stars the immortal pony-tailed warrior, Steven Segal playing a total guido Gino Felino. Yes, the main character's name rhymes. Also making apperances are Gina Gershon, Juliana Margulis, Uncle Junior, and the one and only First Base. The First Base sighting made Sid fall in love with this movie. And as youse all know, Sid always does his research, so we found out that John Flynn directed this flick (yes, the John Flynn, as in the same John Flynn who directed Lockup) which quelled our suspicion that Rog moonlighted as an Unintentional Comedy director in his younger days. It was a logical guess though, with Segal spouting a "Maddon'" every few seconds.
So, this was a Segal movie. Which of course means that he plays a rouge cop who doesn't follow one law the entire movie, and actually wants to murder the bad guy. Whith that said, Segal does such a great job in this movie, those small oversights are so easy to forgive. Sid has a theory on this one: Segal studied every bad mob movie ever made and imitated the stupidest goomba in every one. We can't get across how entertaining it was to watch Segal try to be his usual tough self, speak with a Brooklyn accent, and try to sprinkle a few Italian words in every few minutes.
Out For Justice was a supperior Unintentional Comedy flick. The second First Base appeared on the screen it was sealed. WOO-PAH! So it definitely gets the Sid the Elf Seal of Approval. Ya hear?

Summary: Det. Gino Felino's best friend and partner Bobby Lupo gets shot down on a Brooklyn street.
Comment: I'll join the chorus of howls now.
The Seagal checklist: tight black jeans (check), billowy dark colored top with tank top (check), pony tail (check), cheesy Italian accent (check), cheesy Italian lingo (check), classic Seagal swagger (check), squinting for the effect + calm whisper-like speech = serious bad*ss (check), lack of legit plot allowing for ball-busting humorous violence (check), great opening title freeze w/Seagal caught in hole of windshield he just threw a pimp through (check), over the top disgusting amoral horrible villain (here nailed by William Forsythe and his scary moustache) (check), small parts for John Leguizamo, Julianna Margulies, Raymond Cruz, Gina Gershon, Dominic Chianese, Jerry Orbach (what was he doing here?) and New York based actors schooled in proper goon characterizations (check), sensitivity for lone suffering child + abandoned cute dog (check), hilarious and successful tough guy square-offs in butcher shop, large and maze-like yet decrepit apartment and (especially) dive pool hall (check), Seagal written and produced song called "Don't Stand in My Way" performed by Gregg Allman(!) over the closing credits (check), beret(!) (check), overt reference to On the Waterfront with a character (though a large busted cocktail waitress here) named Terry Malloy (check).
Did I forget anything? (There's a comment link if you want to tell me.)
Maybe the best of the early, pre-Under Seige low-budget Seagal pics.
