Mr-Fusion You can count the number of Steven Seagal movies I've seen on one hand, so I'm admittedly not his target audience. "Out for Justice"opens with a pretty comical scene involving the man beating the snot out of a pimp, so I was hoping for the rest of the movie to follow suit.But it doesn't, and it really hinges on one's willingness to buy Seagal as a paesan. And that right there is a stretch. An even bigger stretch is William Forsythe as a mafioso, and this is where things really go off the rails. Guy strolls into one scene after another, chewing scenery like it's going out of style. With a permanent scowl, no less. At least Seagal's trying, you can tell he spent some time polishing his Italian.There are a couple of good fight scenes, but they're few in number. I guess I'd expected more with this kind of movie.5/10

NateWatchesCoolMovies As much of a goof as Steven Seagal is these days, he does have a few very solid and badass flicks from back in the day, the best of which is probably Out For Justice. There's a whole pile of his flicks out there both new and old, and you have to know how to approach this particular minefield. There's a bunch that are awesome (Under Siege, The Glimmer Man, Above The Law) and an even bigger bunch that stink to high hell (literally anything after 1999). You can't go wrong with this one though. It's a violent, nasty gut punch of criminal activity set on the very mean streets of NYC. Seagal is pathetic in the sense that he doesn't even realize that every single film he does is stolen from under his very nose by the villain, both in terms of acting and character. I rent a Seagal flick not for Seagal, but for whatever grizzled character actor plays his nemesis, and here that slot is thoroughly rattled by a psychotic William Forsythe. Seagal plays NYC cop Gino, who is on the hunt for the killer of a childhood friend, perpetrated by unhinged lunatic Richie Madano (Forsythe), a maverick of a villain who constantly eludes Gino and plays a deadly, reckless game until he is finally caught up with. Forsythe is a juggernaut, whether trash talking his own henchman and kicking the hell out of them or taking road rage to a whole new level when he shoots a mouthy motorist in the head for looking at him the wrong way. He's the homicidal life of the party here, and Seagal struggles to live up to his talent, which he can only do via his undeniable physicality. Gina Gershon has a sheepish, slutty bit as Richie's sister, and watch for Jerry Orbach doing his thing as well. About as awesome a flick as you'll find in Seagal's career, and a total blast.

Maziun "Out for justice" is a movie that pretends to have some plot , but it doesn't have any . Seagal just walks around and kicks butt looking for murderer . The few non-action scenes don't really have any meaning at all . They just there , because you can't make nonstop action with no dialogue.The investigation isn't interesting and the movie tries to fill time by Seagal talking about his past or subplot with the dog . The only plus is that the fight scenes are actually cool and impressive . They shouldn't make this movie . They should record only the fight scenes and put them on youtube. It would be much wiser. Action movie without no real plot just doesn't work . That's why the porn movies pretends to have some plot. Otherwise the sex would be boring.William Forsythe usually plays good guys , but here he works well as a villain . Seagal seems to be interested in the movie and actually tries hard to put some emotion into his performance. He fails , but I appreciate the effort. The dog is cute.Don't watch this movie unless you are a Seagal fan. I give it 3/10.

chuck-reilly Steven Seagal's action movie "Out for Justice" is short on plot and long on bashing heads in and shooting bad guys full of holes. The body count is so high in this movie that you'd need a degree in Calculus to keep up with it. The plot: Seagal is Gino, a cop from the old neighborhood who's not very happy that his partner Bobby has been killed by Richie (a deranged William Forsythe). There are a few complications along the way before Seagal is able to administer his brand of "justice." These so-called complications do nothing to get in the way of what this movie is all about: vicious beatings and murders with plenty of flowing blood. Also in the cast is Gina Gershon and veteran Broadway actor Jerry Orbach. In one scene, Orbach (a fellow cop) tells Seagal that he's "getting too old for this." I think he means this particular movie and not the police work. Luckily for viewers, Gina looks smashingly good as does the rest of the female cast members. She and the girls provide a welcome respite from the chaos and mayhem that are featured endlessly in this movie. For fans of this type of film, Seagal's brand of vengeance will definitely satisfy their thirst. All others interested in things like story-line, characterizations, and any kind of a moral to the proceedings will have to look elsewhere. As for William Forsythe, his final beating takes up nearly five minutes of screen time. "I like pain," he tells Seagal before he gets slammed for the umpteenth time. Unfortunately, the audience has to suffer through it too. For comic relief, a stray dog relieves itself on one of Seagal's victims. That about sums up this movie.
