One of Seagal's most brain-dead movies, OUT FOR JUSTICE is a film basically lacking in a plot altogether. Instead, Seagal's investigation into a psychotic murder spree is simply a reason to have lots and lots of gratuitous violence and carnage portrayed in the name of entertainment. That's fine by me! Seriously, although the cops-and-robbers type plot is a clichéd one (this movie bears strong similarities to two of Seagal's previous movies), the execution and action are what makes this an enjoyable viewing experience.
From a butcher's shop to a pool hall, Seagal scours the haunts of the low life and breaks as many arms and heads as is humanly possible in a short space of time in his quest for revenge. Highlights include a pool ball being wrapped in a handkerchief and used to brain a number of criminal thugs, various sharp implements being brought into play at the fight in the butcher's shop, and the incredibly violent showdown in which Seagal gives psycho villain William Forsythe a thorough going over. My best advice is to watch this movie if you're a fan of Seagal or you enjoy watching screen bad guys get their backsides kicked by a martial arts master; fans looking for something more serious or plot-focused would be advised to look elsewhere, as you're wasting your time with this one. For die-hard violence fans only, who will lap it up.
