Limerculer A waste of 90 minutes of my life

Glimmerubro It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

nims-1975 Out For Justice is an excellent Film which is just amazing and enjoyable to watch. The film is quite a brutal film with harsh violence but the fight scenes are powerful and excellent. Out For Justice also has excellent acting by Steven Seagal, William Forsythe, Jerry Orbach and Jo Champa. Seagals acting as Dt Gino Felino, a man who wants to do his job and cares about family and friends is excellent and so are the other actors acting. William Forsythes acting as the insane and malicious villain Richie, a man who doesn't show remorse for people he doesn't like is also excellent. Jerry Forbach and Jo Champas acting as Cpt Ronnie Donzinger and Vicky Felino (the wife of Gino Felino) is also excellent. Gino Felino is a guy that you don't want to mess with and after Bobbys death and the killings that have been done by insane and malicious Richie have made Gino angry and Gino has want to go looking for Richie, his gang and anybody else known to Richie and sort them out using his powerful strength and martial arts fight moves. Out For Justice is another excellent Seagal movie and should not be missed.

Comeuppance Reviews Detective Gino Felino (Seagal) is Brooklyn born and bred, and Brooklyn to the bone. While he and some of his buddies from the old neighborhood such as Bobby Lupo (Spataro) became cops, others became wiseguys and took up the Italian gangster lifestyle. When psychotic, drug-abusing thug Richie Madano (Forsythe) guns down Lupo in broad daylight and in front of his family, Gino, to use Brooklyn slang...isn't happy. (Keep in mind we're not from Brooklyn). Having disappeared, Gino is certain Richie is still somewhere in Brooklyn and won't leave its confines, so he turns the borough upside down looking for him. Gino has his foot in two worlds, as he utilizes police compatriots such as Captain Donziger (Orbach), as well as gangsters such as Joey Dogs (Corello) in order to find him. Throughout his search, he encounters many characters, everyone from Richie's sister Patti (Gershon) to gangster Bochi (Lasardo), but is anyone safe as Gino goes....OUT FOR JUSTICE? Out for Justice is Seagal at his absolute best and has proven itself over time to be a classic of 90's action. Lest you think we're a bunch of Seagal haters, we're not; we're just disappointed by the way his career trajectory went in later years. If he had maintained the high quality put forth here, we'd be some of his biggest cheerleaders. It's a mainstream Hollywood production, so everything is lit and shot well, and all the technical aspects are very professional, as you might expect. Anyone only familiar with Seagal's output from the latter third of his career will be shocked by what they see here: he's actually ACTING, i.e., playing a character other than himself. And he does a fine job as Gino, even speaking Italian in many scenes. He gets a nice intro to his character as befits an action star, and it's all just a modern updating of the time-honored "some kids from the neighborhood became cops and some became gangsters" plot we've seen since the early days of Hollywood. But it's done well, with verve and excitement. John Flynn is one of the most underrated and underappreciated directors of his era, having consistently turned in tough movies such as this, Nails (1992), and the all-time classic Rolling Thunder (1977). As our society became more and more wussified, the style of directors like Flynn fell out of favor in Hollywood, and that may explain why his name isn't mentioned more often. According to our research, Warner Brothers insisted this movie have a three-word title, and the formula held true - Out for Justice was Seagal's third straight number one at the box office. Needless to say, in the late 80's/early 90's Seagal was hot property, and this is the result of that clout - a well-produced tough-guy movie with a lot of beatings and shootings, that isn't overlong and moves at a nice clip. The whole package works. Seagal is backed up with a great cast as well - Jerry Orbach plays a character identical to the beloved Lenny on Law & Order, so this is the closest we'll get to seeing Seagal as a cast member. Fan favorite William Forsythe plays the baddie with a deranged strength, making him sort of a 1991 version of James Cagney as Cody Jarrett in White Heat (1949). Gershon puts in an energetic performance, and all the cops, gangsters, and family members help to complete the picture. Future Skinemax stars Shannon Whirry Athena Massey, and Julie Strain also make brief appearances. It's also fascinating to see the Brooklyn of 1991 compared with the Brooklyn of today. Back then it was gritty, unpretentious and unglamorous, a perfect setting for an action movie. It's hard to imagine Seagal and Forsythe battling their way through young hipsters with skintight jeans and tattoos wandering around playing Pokemon GO on their iPhones. It's no wonder we continually retreat back to the age when Seagal was cracking heads with pool balls and throwing people out of windows. As for the music, Seagal co-wrote two of the songs on the soundtrack, "Bad Side of Town" and "Don't Stand in My Way", along with Todd Smallwood. Smallwood did some of the other songs without Seagal, which may have led to his working on the soundtrack of Street Knight (1993) with Jeff Speakman. It must be a nice life, being an action movie song composer. In the end, Out for Justice remains a highlight of Seagal's career and 90's action as a whole.

LeonLouisRicci Not the slickest of the Steven Seagal repertoire but certainly the most violent. It is a crude and lewd downright dirty ditty of Cops/Drug Dealers/Mafioso. This is a Seagal juggernaut. The body count is high and so is the Villain. Constantly hitting the crack-pipe and executing People like it is free.Fans of the Star rate this one at the top and for good reason. It delivers on all accounts. The Story of a Kid who escaped the Neighborhood crime elements and became a Cop is clichéd but we believe it here. He motivates the streets in and out of bars and restaurants and always seems in control, even when he is confronted by a room full of really Bad Guys. Of course he makes mincemeat out of them, one time in a butcher shop, literally.This is Seagal at his best and most ferocious, but always maintaining a certain buy-able sensitive side. Like when he visits the Villain's Father or is talking about his own childhood. A lot of the appeal to this gritty City Movie must be allied with William Forsythe's despicable turn as Richie Madano, perhaps the most unlikeable street thug ever on screen. Together with Seagal's arguably, most rich and rewarding performance, they make for one gloriously gory Story.

PeterMitchell-506-564364 This is basically a story or revenge. Proud Italian cop, Gino Felino (Seagal in one of his better acting efforts) is chasing down bad guy, wannabe mobster, chicken s..t piece of puke, Richie Madano, played with such villainry by character actor, William Forsythe, (gees Steve must get sick of being surrounded by good actors). Richie had his own reasons for gunning down a neighborhood friend/and dirty cop, Bobby Lupo, Gino's partner and best friend, who we only meet at the start, before Seagal throws a black pimp through the windshield of a car. Well, not entirely. He came charging at Steve and you can pretty much fill in the rest, cause you know what happens to anyone who does that. Now why did the pimp get angry at Steve. Well, just lets Seagal had his reasons. The pimp was getting throttled, because he was slapping one of his ho's around, who has gotten pregnant, and he was spouting off some threats to Seagal. They were lewd and disrespecting too, about family members. In this first scene, Steven sabotages this undercover operation, with this soon to be dead partner, on principal. This is Seagal's bloodiest film ever, as a number four outing, fans won't be disappointed if loving the others. It's a shame, that in today not so fortunate times, Seagal just resorts to dishing out crap, one b grade after the other, The Foreigner, a few years back was a joke. Most of this action charged movie, where Steve doesn't muck around here, has him trying to track Richie down, one instance, by chance, he spots him, where a car chase ensues, followed by some heavy violence, and much more later. One elongated scene, has Seagal, going to Richie's younger brother's, another piece of.... who runs a subterranean bar/snooker place. Insults and many fists are exchanged, and a lot of blows at Steve's hand, one guy spitting out a score of teeth for his futile attempt when actually trying to hit him. Bad mistake. Pool cues become weapons of death, where a cool and riveting stick fight ensues. Seagal too shares some childhoods stories, and there are other lighter and potent scenes, and we do see a lighter side to his character. I fully appreciated these scenes and they blend in well with the rest of the movie. We do too have the mafia who backs up Steve, in his quest to track down the enemy, who is tarnishing this mob's rep, with having authorities think Richie's with them which he's certainly not. Steven also makes a friend, a little puppy, who some d..k throws out a window, where the dog comes bite it's neglected owner in the last scene, another I appreciated. A good note to end this flick, on especially after the garbage has been taken out prefore OFJ is quite a good cop drama, with a lot of action and bloody violence, (I'm talking' the loss of a few body parts) where the cat and the mouse run rampant, which makes for a great moment of vengeance, when they finally do meet.
