Summary: "IF YOU CAN'T KILL HIM, I GO KILL HIM....DEN I GO KILL YOU!"
Comment: 'Marked for Death' is the type of manly-man popcorn movie that will never win an Oscar nor the adoration of such tools as Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert (who pretty much lost all credibility when he bashed 'I Spit on Your Grave' as "disgusting" yet praised 'The Last House on the Left', when they had practically the exact same content'). But never minding the fact that the latter is actually a compliment, it's these movies that are proof that the most mindless and action-packed flicks are usually the most entertaining.
This 1990 entry has Seagal starring and John Hatcher, an ex-DEA agent who teams up with his high school football coach buddy and a couple disgruntled cops to take on a vicious Jamaican drug cartel led by Screwface (portrayed by Basil Wallace in an Oscar-worthy display of wild-eyed hilarity), who is quite possibly the campiest and greatest villian in action movie history (he's up there along with Bennett from 'Commando' and Fraker from 'Death Wish 3'). There are so many hilarious scenes with Screwface, including one where he is playing cards with some of his henchman and another one enters the room (walking slowly in obvious fear) to tell him that one of his men was killed. He flips the table and slugs one of his own henchman with it for no reason at all. THAT, my friends, is entertainment. That's also why it sucks to be a lowly henchman with such a terrifying boss. In addition, Screwface suffers what is possibly the most over-the-top, painful, and hilarious death in action movie history. I won't spoil it. There's also a funny twist to it as well.
In short, one of the most action-packed and unintentionally hilarious Seagal movies ever. Seriously, amazing movie.

Summary: It lacked a lot by the not showing full screen
Comment: The movie is sorta old so guess that is why it was not a full screen. Sometimes you could not see full bodies just waist up. So not one I was 2 pleased with from all my other movies. Even though it was the last movie I needed to complete my Steven Seagal movies. So I still will shop at Amazon hoping the next ones do not be so small. Also I know I have a couple old movies on there I am getting ready to purchase by Chuck Norris to finish his collection I have. You could start putting some info on your movies to make sure you are getting the ones you are looking for. What you have does not say much lucky I know my movies. By being a paraplegic and not getting out much I do rely on the DVD's and your help to find my needs to keep me busy.

Summary: One thought he was invincible... the other thought he could fly...They were both wrong.
Comment: This is probably the second most violent Seagal Movie I've seen so far (the first being Out For Justice). The Aikido fight scenes and the shootouts are extremely violent; much more then the previous Seagal entries. Not just the violence but the drug content is more noticeable here than it was in Above the Law and Hard to Kill.
Seagal this time plays John Hatcher, a cop that has seen to much violence in his day, and is eager to retire after seeing his partner get brutally murdered in an assignment. Hatcher takes a leave and goes to live with his sister and niece. While there Hatcher begins to notice that there is drug dealing in the area by Jamaicans and Columbians. A feud later occurs between both dealers; Hatcher gets too close and kills many of the Jamaican drug dealers. Now the Leader of the Jamaican drug gang (Screw face) wants to eliminate Hatcher out of the way. He and his family are now Marked For Death, hence the name of the movie.
The fight scenes in this movie are arguably the best I've seen; unfortunately the story isn't that original. But the fight sequences are quite graphic, specifically the last scene with Seagal fighting Screw face...Gosh its quite strong to watch that scene, even by today's standards its pretty violent. This is Seagal while he was still in shape and not as cocky as his future films. The acting is good from Seagal's part, so is the Aikido fights, the story as I said could have been a bit smarter, but hey we watch Seagal for the action not much for the plot. Definitely worth owning by any Seagal fan.
MY PERSONAL RATING: 4 ½ OUT OF 5

Summary: I hope they weren't triplets!!!!!
Comment: The only Seagal movie I give five stars to.
Marked is the basic Seagal movie.
Guns, check.
Drugs, check.
Unnecessary nudity, check.
Unnecessary violence, check.
Foul language, check.
For some strange reason, I actually like this movie.
Its fun, it's funny, it's got enough action for ten movies.
The Jamaican stereotypes are pathetic but if you can overlook that and all the other minor annoyances, Marked for Death is a great action movie, and it's a great way to kill an evening.
Recommended!!!
