Review of Above the Law (1988) by Lloyd H — 27 Jan 2013
The first and arguably the best Steven Seagal film. I think people forget or never recognised that Seagal's early films are actually quite good. This film has its flaws and has no originality but I thoroughly enjoyed it and will happily watch it again.
The plot is weak and tries to complicate itself and the story isn't particularly eventful. But the aikido sequences are stunning an the action scenes are well choreographed. The soundtrack is very good and the supporting cast is full of familiar faces such as Pam Grier, Henry Silva and Sharon Stone.
Nico (Above the Law) is a good action film and a strong debut from Steven Seagal.
