Review of Mercenary for Justice (2006) by Allan C — 14 Jan 2017
There are two kinds of people in the world. This you enjoy Steven Seagal and those who do not. I count myself among the former, though I'll readily admit a credible case can be made for both. Our pony-tailed hero plays the titular mercenary who is blackmailed into participating in a daring prison break, but then afterwards seek justice (i.
E. bloody revenge on his blackmailers). That's pretty much it. Either you will be entertained by Seagal's Aikido moves (which seem progressively slower with each film and masked by quick editing) and his toupee wearing, big coat sporting swagger.
The only things to distinguish this film from Seagal's other direct-to-video action films are that the mail vilian is played by Roger Guenveur Smith who I had a terrible time placing until I realized he played Smiley in "Do the Right Thing.
" Also worth noting is Jacqueline Lord is quite good as Seagal's female partner and according to IMDB Lesley-Anne Down appears uncredited as a newscaster, though I missed it.
