Here is the plot summary of Out for Justice: In the gritty streets of Brooklyn, Detective Gino Felino (Steven Seagal) is a well-respected fixture within the NYPD. He knows everyone and everything in his neighborhood, earning him the nickname "The King of Little Italy." However, when Gino's partner is brutally murdered during an undercover operation gone wrong, he becomes hell-bent on avenging his friend's death. As Gino delves deeper into the investigation, he uncovers a web of deceit and corruption that reaches the highest echelons of the police department.

I'm always up for films that revel in unreasonable behavior and deliver on brutal, eye-for-an-eye justice. I tend to enjoy them all. The protagonist, who at first glance I mistook for a transvestite, is surprisingly compelling. And the bit with the knife sharpener lamenting that he's no longer needed – I've had similar thoughts myself.

That bar fight scene turned Seagal into the Terminator.

Actually, the cinematography is quite good. But the plot is just awful.

A classic action flick from '91, back when Seagal was in peak physical condition! Tall, muscular, with long legs and a broad face, his eyes might not be big, but they are full of intensity. He leaves other cops in the dust with his Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and unique gun-handling skills. In light of the current penalties, when we see so much villainy escaping justice, Seagal's way of dealing with criminals in this film is incredibly satisfying! Utterly cathartic!

Seagal truly is a unique phenomenon...churning out the same movie for his entire career.
