Urban Justice (2007 Video)
6/10
Vengeance in the hood...
19 February 2008
Steven Seagal stars as a man (trained in special forces tactics, no doubt) who goes gunning for the people responsible for his son's murder. While there Seagal runs up against Eddie Griffin and looks not to fight the ones who pulled the trigger but rather the one who gave the orders, to which Seagal finds was his son's employer. Without a doubt this is Seagal's best movie in ages. In fact were talking all the way back to his Under Siege days. Urban Justice does have some good action and thankfully Seagal has done his own dubbing, has done his own martial arts and indeed has put an emphasis on actually making something at least half way decent. I highly doubt that Urban Justice would ever stack up against the very best in the genre (Let alone, Seagal's earlier movies such as Hard To Kill, Out For Justice and Under Siege ) but Urban Justice is well made, features more depth than usual for a Seagal flick (Though Seagal still needs acting lessons) and in fact is never boring. Indeed it's a movie like this that makes you realize that after numerous dud after dud, that Seagal maybe has something left. On all fronts the movie is no great shakes but for fans of the genre and Seagal, one can do much worse than this one.
