Review of Out for Justice (1991) by Khalil A — 07 Sep 2011
If you're looking for "Gone with the Wind," "A Streetcar named Desire," "Citizen Kane," etc., then you've come to the wrong place. This movie is the epitome of everything that is Steven Seagal.
No "Best Actor" awards here; Seagal's acting is as cheesy as ever, but to each his own. His fake Brooklyn accent, alone, makes this movie enjoyable. Now, throw in vulgar one-liners, brutal hand-to-hand, bone-cracking fight scenes, and bad guys who smoke crack and date hookers and you have yourself an instant classic.
This movie is a must-own for any Seagal aficionado, as it is the highlight of every that was great about him in his early career. Don't get me wrong, I like the old Arnold, Stallone, Norris, and even Van Damme movies as well, but there is something about the first several Seagal movies that makes them extra special to me.
Maybe, it's the way that he only knows how to make one facial expression. Maybe, it's his charisma, or lack there of. Maybe, it's his way of breaking arms first and asking questions later.
Maybe, it's his way of being hilarious, without trying to be. Who knows?! Who cares?!? Watch this movie, and stop taking every movie (and life) SO SERIOUSLY!!
