Highly Overrated But Still Good

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Folks who want to laugh at stupidity -- that should be the only reason to watch this online. Don't waste your money on this stupid nonsense. Second the reason for the title of my review is this. This movie shoves a perception of "Italians being black" for the dumbest of reasons. Being black means being obnoxious and angry. This movie makes Italians have that same stereotypes. This is the type of stereotypes blacks have been having. Also "Seinfeld"-watching Italians (the bros and the broish sisses) -- I don't mean Tuccis or Gallos or Fasanos (who are white Spanish Visigoth in origin -- I mean Sciorras, Pacinos, Tutturos) say "bro" the most (not a white or black word), blacks don't. Hence it doesn't exist in this universe. This movie is the dumbest most obnoxious trash in the last 25 years. Avoid this one if you want a nice decent movie. Watch it on Letmewatchthis if you want to laugh at how dumb this movie is.

Steven Seagal has probably never starred in a particularly good film, but maybe that's not what we expect from him anyway. We want him to beat up the bad guys, defend the weak, be relentless in seeking justice and deliver his lines with a wooden face. We expect profound silences, deep meditations and a couple of snappy wisecracks here and there before lashing out. Out for Justice is one of those films — and in my opinion, it is easily Seagal's best.It is not a cinematic milestone by any stretch of the imagination, and due to the excessive violence that instills blood into every frame, I wouldn't exactly recommend it for women and children either, but it might be a fitting choice for letting off steam after a high-octane football match. Needless to say, the moral message of the movie is questionable, but vigilante vengeance was controversial in Taxi Driver, too.For those who like this type of action movies, Out for Justice offers exactly the right ingredients, served at an unrelenting pace, with no gratuitous romance or rose-tinted glasses. In a manner befitting the grim environment, Seagal remains unflinching throughout, his face smileless, showing no mercy or compassion towards the bad guys. It's a tough world and it's a tough movie for tough guys.

Steven Seagal's action movie "Out for Justice" is short on plot and long on bashing heads in and shooting bad guys full of holes. The body count is so high in this movie that you'd need a degree in Calculus to keep up with it. The plot: Seagal is Gino, a cop from the old neighborhood who's not very happy that his partner Bobby has been killed by Richie (a deranged William Forsythe). There are a few complications along the way before Seagal is able to administer his brand of "justice." These so-called complications do nothing to get in the way of what this movie is all about: vicious beatings and murders with plenty of flowing blood. Also in the cast is Gina Gershon and veteran Broadway actor Jerry Orbach. In one scene, Orbach (a fellow cop) tells Seagal that he's "getting too old for this." I think he means this particular movie and not the police work. Luckily for viewers, Gina looks smashingly good as does the rest of the female cast members. She and the girls provide a welcome respite from the chaos and mayhem that are featured endlessly in this movie. For fans of this type of film, Seagal's brand of vengeance will definitely satisfy their thirst. All others interested in things like story-line, characterizations, and any kind of a moral to the proceedings will have to look elsewhere. As for William Forsythe, his final beating takes up nearly five minutes of screen time. "I like pain," he tells Seagal before he gets slammed for the umpteenth time. Unfortunately, the audience has to suffer through it too. For comic relief, a stray dog relieves itself on one of Seagal's victims. That about sums up this movie.

Aww, they don't mess around with these films titles do they? There's none of this '2001: A Space Odyssey' nonsense going on here. Steven Seagal is 'Out For Justice', need you know more?The reason Seagal is 'Out For Justice' in this film is because his childhood friend, Bobby Lupo got shot in front of his family by one time friend now turned enemy, Richie Madano. The name of Seagal's character is Gino Felino and at one point Gino tells a story about his uncle Pino.....Pino Felino. These are all true. Honest.Unlike Nico, the reason this film instantly gets a better score in my eyes is that there is a damn good fight scene in this film. Seagal vs Dive Bar. One man enters, one man leaves. Unlike a lot of flashier martial arts, Seagal isn't about looking good, he's about breaking limbs and throwing people about the place and he does it very well. Actually this fight is the film's highlight because the final fight scene is so implausibly one sided, it is funny to watch Seagal spend the best part of five minutes beating up some overweight guy. The overweight guy in question is William Forsythe, who I only recognise as the gravel voiced sheriff in The Devil's Rejects but here looks like a psychotic child, shooting people for no reason and being menacing and unpleasant to everyone he meets. Needless to say, Seagal and his mob connections are back to find Richie and make him pay. Seagal is on better form here, both with the fighting and the acting but the film still is bordering on self-parody, but without knowing it. A particular highlight is near the beginning when the opening credits begin, the camera freeze frames of Seagal's face through a broken car window that he'd just thrown a pimp through. It's funny and again, it doesn't mean to be a lot of the time.However, the story in this is a lot less complex than Nico. It's too simple. It's 'Where's Richie?' and then they find him and they fight. Where Nico started to add in crazy plot twists to appear clever, Out For Justice is almost brain dead.
