Review of Above the Law (1988) by Robert C — 23 Mar 2008
The evolution of this plot is actually surprisingly adapt considering that this is classified as your average run of the mill action movie. Seagal starts off by using a brief bit of his own life history into his character.
.. who then goes to fight in Vietnam but doesn't quiet stand for the whole nasty war interrogation methods so litterally runs off and becomes a dirty cop. As you do. So when people start targeting his neighbourhood he has to find out who, why and when.
.. and it leads back to the same people he was in the war with... oooh fancy that! Nicely character driven with good support by very early Pam Greir and Sharon Stone. Not really action packed, some good shootout scenes and one memorable street scene of Seagal fighting but thats about it.
Seagal's first movie showed great future potential and isn't bad to watch as an action movie or a semi-detective movie. Surprisingly good.
