If one is jonesing for a turn-your-brain-off actioner and is not too discerning, this will suitably fit the bill.

Seagal spends the majority of his screen time sitting down, and he only rouses himself for a few seconds at the end of the movie for something that could charitably be called an action sequence.

Good solid action movie about a cop who is trying to avenge his son's death. Interesting to see Steven Seagal playing a supporting character role.

The title 'Beyond the law' represents his support for war criminals! All films with him should be banned!

Overall, what should be a gripping and mysterious film is ultimately filled with dull and vague moments. As a crime thriller, this film fails to hook its audiences from the start, even when something tragic occurs. Steven Seagal and DMX are here to deliver cringe-worthy but still somehow fun and threatening dialogue consistently. Their lack of screen presence will only sadden fans of the leading actors as actor John Messener takes the lead for most of the film. Sure, little moments of entertainment can be found here, but the film is also highly forgettable and slow for the vast majority.

I was disappointed to find out that Steven Seagal was not the lead actor but in a supporting role when the review for the movie made it sound like he was the lead character.

Instantly forgettable, cliched and tired plot, not sure on the editing either - despite it's one dimensional nature.
