Out for Justice harbors an incredibly simple vengeance plot loaded with enough macho sadism to satiate the action genre's bloodthirsty fans.

As a courtesy to his many fans, the ponytailed action hero Steven Seagal not only attacks sleaze but also goes out of his way to examine it.

If you're into this kind of thing, it works. If you're looking for a good crime flick, Scorsese it's not.

Rated: 5/10

Seagal kicked Italian-mafia ass here as a revenge-driven NYPD cop. William Forsythe with his creepy laugh is a menacing villain but is no match for Gino.

Filme bacaninha, o roteiro é mais ou menos, as cenas são bacaninhas, o elenco é maisou menos, e poucos ajudam a melhorar o filme, e o Steven seagan ajuda a melhorar o filme, a história é mais ou menos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e mais relevantes.

This is a great action movie that's as a poor rating down to people not liking Steven Seagal and that most people who watch this movie haven't left a review this is my first review and I love this movie. This is a movie you can watch and chill and not to be taken seriously and the pool scene is legendary when it comes to an action film

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
