Out for Justice is only memorable for the action scenes and Steven Seagal showcasing his martial arts prowess back when he was fit and athletic compared to today where he outweighs an overweight Elvis Presley. Truth be bold some parts are very corny, and the acting is rather ordinary. If you don't take things seriously and just disengage your brain for 91 minutes and enjoy the brutally violent fight scenes you'll find that this movie will fill in your time.Hard nosed renegade NYPD Detective Gino Felino (Steven Seagal) goes after Richie Madano (William Forsythe), an out of control, drug addicted criminal who brutally murders Gino's friend and partner Bobby Lupo (Joe Spataro) in broad daylight in front of his wife and children. After getting approval from Captain Ronnie Donziger (the late Jerry Orbach) Gino is given a shotgun, an unmarked police car, and a licence to navigate through Brooklyn and its seedy underbelly to take down Richie and his goons especially after the mafia who views Ritchie as a loose cannon and will not interfere with Gino's manhunt of Ritchie. It is also revealed that Gino, Bobby and Ritchie grew up together in Brooklyn and Ritchie has been a common enemy throughout most of their lives. As Ritchie continues his homicidal rampage, Gino relentlessly pursues Ritchie to avenge the death of his friend and partner Bobby.Steven Seagal does what he does best here by kicking butt and taking names. After exploding onto the Hollywood scene with his debut movie Above the Law (1988) Steven Seagal was a mainstay as an action superstar throughout the late 80's and for a majority of the 1990's. It's a shame that his career has all but evaporated and with his supersized belly he finds himself appearing in lethargic direct to DVD action movies.William Forsythe has always been an effective villain and here in Out for Justice, he is the perfect fit as the psychotic, drug addled Ritchie who has gone on a warpath through Brooklyn.Alongside the late Jerry Orbach keep an eye out for Gina Gershon (Face/Off), Julianna Margulies (ER), Dominic Chianese (The Sopranos) and John Leguizamo (Carlito's Way) in small roles.Out for Justice is enjoyable for it's fight scenes and Steven Seagal doing what he does best, but don't have high expectations and you'll enjoy it for what it is.7/10.

This is Steven Seagal doing bad a$$ Steven Seagal. He's beating up a suspect, throwing him through a windshield. He's a cop dressed like a mobbed up thug. He's stick fighting. He's throwing unarmed bad guy out the window to his death. He's flipping William Forsythe around like a rag doll.It's a 10 for Steven Seagal fans for love his shtick. It's a 0 for people who hate mindless meaningless violence. So I'll split the difference and give it a 5. Don't look for good acting or good writing. It is strictly an one-man show and Steven Seagal's self-love.

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.
