Summary: SEAGAL'S FIRST MOVIE IS NOT TO BE MISSED!
Review: A COP [STEVEN SEAGAL] BATTLES POLICE CORRUPTION AND DRUG DEALING. THIS WAS SEAGAL'S FIRST MOVIE. IT HAS SOME VERY GOOD ACTION SCENES. THIS IS AN ESSENTIAL MOVIE FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES TO COLLECT SEAGAL MOVIES OR ACTION MOVIES IN GENERAL. THIS MOVIE IS ALSO GOOD FOR ANOTHER THING, IT SHOWS US THE OLD STEVEN SEAGAL WHO LOOKED TOUGHER AND WAS IN BETTER SHAPE, UNLIKE TODAY.
I ADVISE ALL ACTION FANS TO ADD THIS TO THEIR COLLECTION NOW!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: "Below the toilet"
Review: Any rational person would see the list of characters, laugh, and continue searching for something worth buying. This certainly isn't it. I also find humor in how most of Seagal's films have three word titles.
Or as I call them

Out for Justice = In for Misery
Above the Law = Below the toilet
On Deadly Ground = On Shakey Ground (Seagal)
Marked for death = Marked for discount
Hard to Kill = Hard to watch
Fire down below = [pretty accurate title]

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Below The Ego
Review: Back in the days when Steven Seagal's career was launched by this little film, he was certainly more of a phenomenon to be reckoned with and much less of a personality to be tolerated. ABOVE THE LAW, much as in the case of the RAMBO films, created a certain mold that small action films followed for several years, most to little success. Seagal keeping his ego in check helped push ABOVE above standard action fare, and he introduced us to a butt-kicking, karate-chopping Dirty Harry.

Too bad he didn't continue in this mold.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Save your yourself
Review: Don't bother with this movie. Save your time and money. Plot was hokey. At points the plot of the movie tried to be serious, other times it tried to be comical. Tom Arnold and Segal do not mix in this poorly written movie.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Before the pounds
Review: Go buy this movie and watch a slim Seagal, before he put on a hundred pounds and tried to cover up his fat rear. He now looks like the Michelin Man trying to do a karate kick. Try and remember the slim Seagal...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good action movie.
Review: Great score, great story, great action. This is Seagals best film next to Under Seige. Too bad he fizzeled out after a coupla good ones. Charles Bronson remains King of the genre. Check out The Mechanic and Death Wish 2 and 4....

Summary: Better than most cheesey action movies
Review: I enjoyed this one. I remember being in awe during the fight scenes, and wondering how a character could be macho and sensitive at the same time, but Nico Tuscani (Segal) is, and he does it so well that one has to wonder if this character is close to his real personality. His acting of the part did not seem as forced.

You will like this one if you like action films about good cops trying to bring down bad govenment/police. It is not as predictable as it sounds, but it isn't as original as one would hope.

Summary: A man of martial arts.
Review: I have watched Steven Seagal for many years. He seems to have a firm undrestanding of martial arts.

So, those that want to see if they are interested in it, they should watch a few of his movies.

Note: his films are graphic. Broken bones, pressure points, and weapons, are all in the attempt to destroy or paralyze. This is the true way of martial arts.

Long drawn out fight sequences are not real, and have no place for self-defence.
