Steven Seagal was leaner, meaner and had his own hair when he first started out making tough visceral action films. Well he still has his own hair but it comes originally from a shop and his actions films these days are flabby and lazy like him.He plays tough cop Gino an Italian American cop in Brooklyn who grew up with hoods and one of them Ritchie (William Forysthe) is on a crime spree that involved killing Gino's fellow cop in broad daylight. He even starts killing innocent bystanders and his psycho antics even alarms the local Mafia bosses.Gino is a lone wolf, he does not believe in having back up. In fact he thinks some of his fellow cops are more crooked than the mob. He is happy to walk into a bar and beat up hardened criminals to get information for the whereabouts of Ritchie and his gang. He even goes to Ritchie's frightened and law abiding parents and tells them that he will kill him when he finds him.The story is repetitive as Gino goes here and there looking for Ritchie beating anyone who stands in his way in brutal fashion such as the hoodlum pinned to the wall by a cleaver.The broad acting is left to Forsythe who chews up the scenery as Ritchie as he realises the script has little to offer him as an actor apart from terrorising people.

As much as I enjoy watching movies about bad guys, especially the main villain, get their comeuppance, I can't say I particularly enjoyed Out For Justice. The problem with the story, is that the villains are not people you love to hate, and as a result, I didn't much care what would happen. Sure, Seagal kicks butt, and shoots the baddies, which about the only thing this movie has going for it, but he's no Stallone, Schwarzenegger, or Bronson. He certainly doesn't sound like a tough guy. The movie may have drama, but there's no bite or suspense, and doesn't do the "Death Wish" films any justice.** out of ****

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.

"Out for Justice" is good for a lot of thrills AND a lot of laughs. It's simply good bone crunching, face smashing, thigh gouging, lower leg splattering fun, with violence aplenty, as was the style for Steven Seagal's earliest vehicles. The star plays Gino Felino, a Brooklyn detective out to get even with swaggering, out of control neighbourhood psychopath Richie Madano (William Forsythe), who'd murdered Gino's partner in broad daylight and in front of witnesses. As Gino works to track Richie down, so does the mob, who refuses to be associated with wise guy wannabe Richie, as his actions are considered nothing short of embarrassing. Eventually, Gino finds out the reason for the murder and is all set for a grand showdown with Richie and all of his assorted thugs. Now, you KNOW Richie is a bad one when shortly after shooting the partner he kills a random woman simply because she made him mad. Forsythe lights up the screen as this rabid dog of a bad guy. Seagal, well, he's Seagal, and despite the efforts to beef up his character by giving him some major speeches, the action fan watching is likely to wish the monologues would end and that the movie would get back to the bloodletting. Still, Seagal does a superb job of kicking ass all over the place, which is all we can really ask for - and, hey, we can see Gino is an all right kind of guy as he rescues a dog that had been cruelly discarded by a jerk in a station wagon. What's hilarious is that for all of Richie's coke snorting, he's still a graceless, overweight slob. The result is a final fight that's incredibly one-sided! Jerry Orbach is rather under utilized as Gino's police captain, but other supporting actors do fine, including Jo Champa as Gino's ex-wife, Shareen Mitchell as the partners' wife, Sal Richards as likable enough mobster Frankie, Ronald Maccone as mob boss Don Vittorio, and Gina Gershon as Richie's sister. A lot of familiar faces in small parts also helps to make this fun: Jay Acovone, Robert LaSardo, John Toles-Bey, Gianni Russo, Dominic Chianese, Julianna Margulies, John Leguizamo, Shannon Whirry, Raymond Cruz, Julie Strain, and Dan Inosanto. Pay close attention and you'll see Kane Hodder, too (during the climactic action). The movie is not without a sense of humour; it's just too funny when that one bar patron gets shoved into the phone booth more than once. And the denouement is pretty priceless, too. Seagal co-produced and also co-wrote two of the songs on the soundtrack, including the hard rocking "Don't Stand in My Way", sung by Gregg Allman. It's also awesome to hear the Beastie Boys' "No Sleep Till Brooklyn". All in all, this is a good, amusing diversion with an effective bloodbath of a finale. It gets down to business pretty quickly, and delivers the good for an agreeable 92 minutes. Eight out of 10.
