When detective Joe Spataro is gunned down in broad daylight in front of his family by a gangster known to the immediate world because both grew up in that area, bad guy William Forsythe doesn't reckon on the fact that Spataro's partner Steven Segall also grew up in the same area and knows him as well. A bad man Segall to have on your case and for the next 90 minutes it's all about Segall on the hunt for Forsythe.
Forsythe made a career of playing bad guys, he played Al Capone in the Nineties revival of The Untouchables, but he's at his meanest here. He's all wigged out on cocaine whether he sniffs it or smokes the crack/ cocaine, he's just one loose cannon. The mob doesn't even want to have anything to do with him. In fact Forsythe in Out For Justice makes Joe Pesci's Tommy T from Goodfellas look like Mr. Rogers. Forsythe is the best thing about Out For Justice.
When what's behind all this is finally revealed, Spataro was one dumb fool although he shouldn't have died for the reasons given. Let's just say he should have exercised better self control in a few areas.
Segall impassively stalks his way through the film doing whatever he has to do to get Forsythe. It's not about the bad guys, it's about revenge for his boyhood pal on another boyhood pal.
Fans of Steven Segall will just love this violence fest. Every other minute he's doing bodily harm to somebody to get at Forsythe. Enough violence to go around for those who have that taste. The acting will never win any awards. Location shooting in Brooklyn definitely helps, I recognized quite a few of the locations.
