Review of Urban Justice (2007) by Timo S — 24 Nov 2011

You've been to Compton? Vietnam ain't got shit on C.P.T, cuz.

Simon Ballister's son is a police officer that was shot and killed in the line of duty. Simon flies into Los Angeles to initially attend the funeral and then assist the investigation to uncover the killer. He quickly discovers that the local police will be of little aid and he'll have to take matters into his own hands.

"Did he have a little accident last night?".

"How do you know about that?".

"Because I caused the accident.".

Don FauntLeroy, director of Seven Days of Grace, Anaconda III, Lightspeed, and Anacondas: Trail of Tears, delivers Urban Justice. The storyline for this picture is fairly standard for the genre and delivered little new content outside of some intense and flashy action sequences. The acting was pretty standard for the genre and the cast includes Steven Seagal, Eddie Griffin, Carmen Serano, and Cory Hart.

"Get your lively chubby ass off my hood.".

I am at my mother in-law's house and was looking for a film with an approximate 90 minute time and this gem grabbed my attention. I didn't expect much from this film and was pleasantly surprised by the worthwhile action scenes. The plot is basic but the action scenes are fun. This film isn't a complete waste of time and is worth watching for action genre fans.

"You're a bad ass white boy, huh?!".

Grade: C+.
