Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Bosworth shows us now, that he can act. He's very good here, putting a lot of heart into his performance. He plays Seargeant North who runs an army corp. Unfortunately for his little daughter and ex wife, they were in the wrong place in the wrong when they're witnesses to a shootout involving some bad guys, one being the ever villainous Kober of course. Bosworth comes a little too late, him taking a bullet too, but surviving. Only there's more dangerous people higher, corrupt DEA agents, led by the versatile Payne as Drew Savaak. Payne creates a real piece of work here, where killer Kober, a real piece of s..t here, is kept under his protection. Bosworth who finally has to pull the plug on his daughter's life support, where the wife'e was executed, starts asking questions and getting involved, as smelling the rats, where he exacts his own investigation and revenge. He forms a friendship with a black kid, Mikey, who helps him, while Bosworth may of found a new love, as he develops a soft spot for Mikey's mother, a social worker if memory serves me correct. Mikey has his own vendetta too, wanting to go after the guys who shot his friend. I loved the scene in the restaurant between the two, exchanging their resolutions on the killers, when they find 'em. Bosworth, a great role figure here, telling Mikey it's wrong to kill, warning him on the consequences. Mikey then asks Bosworth, "What are you gonna do, when you find em". Bosworth of course not stating the obvious, comes out with a safer answer "This is different". OTB is a solid actioner with heart too, you wouldn't expect the movie to be this good. Bosworth is a force to be reckoned with. I loved it when he was kicking a..e as you so much wanted him too. His acting, particularly at the start, really impressed. There's no denying, Payne's evil presence here is fantastic. He even brought some of his mob from Passenger 57 on board, a film I loved him in.

Brian Bosworth stars as a military man who looks to avenge the murder of his family at the hands of some random thugs in a convenience store hold up, however along the way there is something about super-powered guns and a street kid who teams up with the Boz to take down Bruce Payne and M.C Hammer. It's no secret that Brian Bosworth was a bust in the NFL (Not the biggest one, let us never speak of Ryan Leaf again.) however as an action star he has far more acting ability than guys like Olivier Gruner and Jeff Speakman. (His two main competitors in the B.movie market) After starring in the insanely silly (yet extremely fun) Stone Cold, One Man's Justice was his second movie and it's an adequate revenge-action film if not quite as fun as his debut. After this though the Boz's career went through a downward spiral with a series of worse and worse movies (peaking at Virus, in terms of badness) until finally making his comeback in the XFL (Where all the NFL rejects go) and finally having a high profile role in the Dean Cain mediocrity Phase IV. As Bosworth goes, he has some charisma but mainly it's Bruce Payne's typically hammy performance (Complete with nose-ring) and M.C Hammer's hysterical Nino Brown impression which makes this so enjoyable. Sadly M.C Hammer's theory that you can't touch him is proved wrong in this movie.* *1/2 out of 4-(Pretty good)

And would've been shot along with everybody else, so I didn't have to watch this piece of crap. Two words--Brian Bosworth. Mother of God. Plodding, disjointed story (although it was amusing when one batch of guys shows up to steal guns and another group shows up to steal drugs... talk about a tense social situation...), the entire premise of the story seems pretty stupid... why wouldn't the cops level the place and kill the bad guy--I mean, other than the fact that they aren't the LAPD? They arrest him after he is responsible for the death of a dozen people, then he gets released to a guy that simply flashes a badge at the police department with no explanation, no paperwork, no escort... yeah, that happens every day, suspected mass murderers are released and no one even looks askance... and they walk out, side by side, the guy's not even in cuffs, and no one bats an eye...? Don't the newspapers notice that the guy that just murdered a bunch of people suddenly disappeared? Then he's turned loose by the guy to go back to his drug dealing, and all his buddies gather 'round... no one seems to think it's a little odd that he just killed a half dozen people and is back on the street a couple days later--apparently they're all too stupid to have it dawn on them that the guy is a snitch, or rolled over on someone. And how likely is an FBI agent walking around in a suit with hair to his shoulders and two rings in his nose--at headquarters? He looked like he was doing an emaciated Fabio impersonation. The guy looks ridiculous, and his cronies at the FBI are just as absurd. A little credibility could've been lent to them if they didn't look like some kind of lame-ass caricatures of exiles from Miami Vice, but apparently the director didn't think so. What cop would look at this guy and think he wasn't crooked? Nice low profile, dude. Then there's the scene where, in broad daylight, a white kid shoots a ten year old black kid on the streets of Los Angeles for his shoes. We all know how many surfer wannabe gangsters there are in L.A. carrying guns, shooting other kids for their shoes. The shooter looks about twelve. Puh-leez. No one bats an eye. Cars drive by, it's just business as usual in L.A. I guess, no one even looks when a dead kid is laying on a busy street next to a four lane downtown street at noon. And why does a tattoo artist (in a very upscale tat parlor that looks like it should be in Malibu at a fashion mall) have a baseball bat to pull out of nowhere and start swinging at the hero? Then there's writing, in huge red felt pen letters on your desk calendar at the FBI office "KILL MARCUS." I guess that's just in case he forgets to kill Marcus. "I knew there was something I was supposed to do today..." **glances down** "OH YEAH!! I need to KILL MARCUS! I almost forgot!" Don't waste your time on this piece of crap, it'd be better spent doing something more enjoyable, like repeatedly burning yourself on the ass with a lit cigar.

John North is a military instructor with a child he adores. When his wife and child accidentally become witnesses to a crime, they are murdered in cold blood. John North has one wish...revenge! OK, there is a bit more to it than that, but I won't give it away. "One Man's Justice" (or "One Tough Bastard" as its known as in the UK) is a well paced action movie with enough twists and creativity to hold your interest until the end. Visually speaking, director Kurt Wimmer doesn't have a particularly interesting eye, but he is talented enough to provide us with well choreographed fight scenes and effective, if slightly overdone performances. Bruce Payne reprises his role from "Passenger 57" here, albeit with an American accent. His performance borders on the camp, but it works. He IS A BAD GUY! At least, he wholly convinced me. Brian Bosworth is great too as the all American family man, who'll kick your ass to high hell if you ever cross him. The casting is perfect.Keep in mind, it's a B Movie, but it's thoroughly enjoyable. It reminds me of 80's bliss such as "Commando". Fans of action movies should add this to their collection.
