Too much of everything

Such a frustrating disappointment

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

A fast paced crime thriller loaded with action and violence. It's very entertaining - one sequence in a bar is very well directed and stands out as the best example of Seagal's elan and fighting prowess as a highly skilled martial arts practitioner and he is convincing as a maverick cop growing up in a criminal underworld but who has chosen the right track. His vengeance, howeverm brings him up against a former schoolfriend turned crinimal who loose in Brooklyn and in a killing frenzy.

As much of a goof as Steven Seagal is these days, he does have a few very solid and badass flicks from back in the day, the best of which is probably Out For Justice. There's a whole pile of his flicks out there both new and old, and you have to know how to approach this particular minefield. There's a bunch that are awesome (Under Siege, The Glimmer Man, Above The Law) and an even bigger bunch that stink to high hell (literally anything after 1999). You can't go wrong with this one though. It's a violent, nasty gut punch of criminal activity set on the very mean streets of NYC. Seagal is pathetic in the sense that he doesn't even realize that every single film he does is stolen from under his very nose by the villain, both in terms of acting and character. I rent a Seagal flick not for Seagal, but for whatever grizzled character actor plays his nemesis, and here that slot is thoroughly rattled by a psychotic William Forsythe. Seagal plays NYC cop Gino, who is on the hunt for the killer of a childhood friend, perpetrated by unhinged lunatic Richie Madano (Forsythe), a maverick of a villain who constantly eludes Gino and plays a deadly, reckless game until he is finally caught up with. Forsythe is a juggernaut, whether trash talking his own henchman and kicking the hell out of them or taking road rage to a whole new level when he shoots a mouthy motorist in the head for looking at him the wrong way. He's the homicidal life of the party here, and Seagal struggles to live up to his talent, which he can only do via his undeniable physicality. Gina Gershon has a sheepish, slutty bit as Richie's sister, and watch for Jerry Orbach doing his thing as well. About as awesome a flick as you'll find in Seagal's career, and a total blast.

This is Steven Seagal doing bad a$$ Steven Seagal. He's beating up a suspect, throwing him through a windshield. He's a cop dressed like a mobbed up thug. He's stick fighting. He's throwing unarmed bad guy out the window to his death. He's flipping William Forsythe around like a rag doll.It's a 10 for Steven Seagal fans for love his shtick. It's a 0 for people who hate mindless meaningless violence. So I'll split the difference and give it a 5. Don't look for good acting or good writing. It is strictly an one-man show and Steven Seagal's self-love.

OK you like but you can go away because this film is garbage,so Gino flino is seagull hunting down the mob criminal Richard madono , so the plot stays simple and the film finds stupid tame violence and repetitive duologue to try to unmake it good but just fails , as soon as seagull fights you know it is gonna be his worst acting ever and is just going ton be more seagull garbage , repetitive , cheesy, tame, no good plot, badly acted film , basically it is just the same in all his films , tame as a cartoon for kids , id rate it 15 because it is far overrated and i would give it 0 stars for Borden. Avoid this junk , the idiots who give good comments on this film will make you be deceived as i did because this is just so boring. Contains moderate violence and tame bloody gun wounds. And moderate language .The violence is not brutal it is tame , Blood , stab , kick , punch , hand to hand all tame once the blood appears it does not come out haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
