* * * OUT OF FIVE

Steven Seagal stars as Gino a Brooklyn cop who is hunting the killer of his partner in this blood thirsty yet suspenseful actioner that features Seagal in top form. Seagal may need to work on his acting skills but those in search of a high bodycount with tons of carnage will not be disappointed. Out For Justice is also much better then Seagal's previous efforts.
