kapelusznik18 ***SPOILERS*** The usual 1990's action revenge flick made a bit more interesting with Brian "Boz" Bonsworth staring in it as tough but sensitive in that he feels that killing is bad, but someone's got to do it, US Army drill Sergent and martial arts expert John North. A dude that you don't mess around with; especially with those close to him in that's what a group of in house terrorist arms dealers do and end up paying for it big time.Lead by the guy with a ring in his nose dirty Federal Agent Karl Savak played by Bruce Payne who looks more like the famous, with his Samson or lion like mane, Fabio then a movie bad guy who are out to get the latest US military weaponry and sell it to this highest bidder regardless to who he's selling them to. Lead by one of Savak's goons the scuzzy looking Marcus, Jeff Kober, that while robbing a US Army supply truck killed North's wife and kidnapped his 6 year old daughter who later died from her wounds. North himself was badly wounded trying to negotiate their release soon, after two months recovers from his wounds, which to him were nothing but a few bee stings, and is out for revenge. Even though he's really against violence in this case he makes an exception and by the time the movie is over North ends up wiping out both Savak's as well as his rival Dexter Kane's, M.C Hammer, drug and weapon trafficking rings.***SPOILERS*** despite trying to show some sensitivity in his role as tough Sgt. North The "Boz" only excels in the action scenes that he's in which make the film worth watching in the first place. The "Boz" or Sgt. North is also given a young street-wise sidekick 12 year old Mikey Adams, DeJuan Guy,who he tries to straighten out in keeping him from becoming a future gang banger. But his actions, that are anything but peaceful, doesn't help any is showing Mikey how to change his mind. It's in his final slug fest with Savak that North/The Boz pulls his punches in not trying to do him in just for the sake of Mikey-whom Savak is holding hostage- and almost gets killed by doing it. But Savak saves the day for North in his eagerness to finish him off, by pushing him off a 20 story building, and ends up doing himself in instead.

winner55 One Man's Justice is actually four stories, all of which are in conflict with one another. First, there's the story of a corrupt FBI agent. Then there's the story of an FBI agent who's so obsessed with taking down a drug lord he's willing to commit murder. The one FBI agent happens also to be the other FBI agent, so already we're in a muddle. Then of course we have to give our star, Brian Bosworth, something to do, so we get a third story about a vet who's out for revenge for the murder of his family. But wait, we haven't touched all the sensitivity bases yet, we gotta have a kid in there somewhere, so we get a fourth story about a 12 year old boy who's thinking about turning gangsta and just needs a role model - like Bosworth (?!) - to set him straight.There are all sorts of silly flaws throughout the film - towards the end, the hero chases the villain up a flight of stairs but somehow winds up on the roof of a different building from that of the villain - and one could have some fun discussing these. But with plot elements as confusing as we have here, who really cares? And although most of the action scenes are fairly good (with the exception of the lamest car/bike chase I've ever seen), since we don't really know what's going on or why we should care, even these are wasted.Save yourself the trouble of taking this out of the DVD player - don't bother putting it in.

whpratt1 The film started out with a boot camp situation with a drill instructor breaking in his new company of Army enlistments. All of a sudden there is a horror show going on in a local convenient store, where things start being turned into Swiss Cheese and lots of tomato juice. The Army instructor is Brian Bosworth,(John North),"Mach 2",'01,who winds up in a hospital for a few weeks and when he gets outside the door, all hell breaks loose. In this picture there is a very young boy who deals with drugs and is very street smart, which in today's society is being used all the time. These kids are under age and cannot be given hard sentences, so they do the dirty work of the Older Boys. Bruce Payne,(Karl Savak),"Hellborn",'03 gives an outstanding performance as an FBI agent who seems to like evil more than good. This is an entertaining film, but there is nothing you will remember about this film after an hour goes bye~! This film was called two names: "One Man's Justice" and "One Tough Bastard", whatever you prefer

AlabamaWorley1971 One of these '80s shoot-em-up flicks, where body piercings and tattoos still pointed to the bad guys. Brian Bosworth is upstanding and trustworthy, as the formulaic dad seeking revenge. The most real notes are struck by young DeJuan Guy, as a kid getting deeper into drugs and crime and not seeing a way out. Jeff Kober has some good lines, but his character is muddled. He seems so cold in the beginning of the film when he kills Brian B's wife and shoots his daughter, but he gets mushy when DeJuan gets into trouble. I do like his tattoo though.
