A different way of telling a story

I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

This is one of those rare movies kind of hard to come by. Not too much attention is being given to movies like this by DVD and bluray companies and I just hope they release more titles like this one. It is a great b production martial flick. Jeff Wincott and his brother are both cops being after the Russian mafia. They are both great martial artists, but one is also secretly cooperating with the mafia boss and taking bribe. I give this movie 10 stars because it has all I would look for in a mid 90ies b production, good never-ending fights, excellent plot and no nudity to take your attention away. This is probably Jeff Wincott's best movie.

Jeff Wincott (from 80's TV-series Night Heat) had potential to become the next Van Damme or Seagal. But he only made a couple of really good movies, after "Mission Of Justice" he returned with the same production crew for "Martial Outlaw". The story is, considering it's a martial arts movie, really good with an interesting premises: Kevin (Jeff Wincott) and Jack White (Gary Hudson) are brothers and both cops in different cities. A drug case brings them together, but Jack crosses the line and Kevin is the one who has to stop him. The acting is good, besides the action there is some good drama between Jack, his wife and his father. Kevin is mixed up in all this. The fighting scenes are excellent, Wincott is in top form: The scene is the restaurant is filled with action and great fights and the "Russian Circle" scene is already a classic. It reminds you of great martial arts films like "Kiss of The Dragon" and "Lionheart".The rest of the cast is also good, look out for Stefanos Miltsakakis as cool bad-ass Sergei. He was also in other genre movies like "Cyborg" and "Maximum Risk" (as Red Face).I already saw "Martial Outlaw" a dozen of times and it's still highly entertaining. After this, Wincott made 2 other excellent movies "Open Fire" and "Last Man Standing" (not the Bruce Willis movie). After that, his other movies were not that impressing. To bad because he certainly has charisma like Van Damme in the 80's en 90's. If you love movies like this and you've never seen this one, try to find it, it's certainly worth it.

One of Jeff Wincott's better films. Lot's of karate and a** kicking in this movie. It's been awhile since I've seen it but Jeff Wincott and Gary Hudson are brothers. Jeff's the good cop and Gary is the not-so-good cop. They end up butting head's later on but I won't go there. Jeff is ripped and Gary's not-so-ripped. Gary's taking drug money and using it to better his quality of life.(At least I think that's how it goes). They both get fatherly advice from their Dad played by character actor everyman Richard Jaeckel. Incidentally this was his last movie, he died of cancer in 1997. Seeing how withdrawn and sick he looked here suggests he wasn't doing too well at the time of filming. God rest his soul.

now here is a movie martial arts fans will definitely enjoy.i wish all of jeff wincott's movies were as action packed as this one is.i don't think you will be surprised to find out that the plot is nothing you haven't seen before in other b movies.but who cares about the plot in a martial arts movie.all us fans want to see is nonstop martial arts fighting and that is what you get in this movie.jeff wincott is awesome in this movie showing off some good high kicks to peoples skulls.this movie and martial law 2 are the best movies that jeff wincott has starred in that i have seen.this movie isn't as action packed as martial outlaw 2 but any martial arts movie fans will still really like this movie
