Movie Reviews of Out for Justice [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Welcome to GinoLynn: Brooklyn's Finest NYPD Detective Summary: 5 Stars
If only law enforcement could actually handle a detective like Gino, my God this world would truly be a safe and secure place. (I'll wallow in my fantasy dreams later, but for now understand this)
The 80's and 90's brought us action aficionados just what we wanted: Real men with real purposes; Real firepower with real edge; Real villains with real persuasion; but most importantly, great entertainment and everlasting memories. I am happy to say that my first exposure to a Steven Seagal film was this true masterpiece (well, in my humble opinion) Out for Justice. It is important to remind you that my expectations for this film were severely hyped and inflated by a friend but he eventually stopped talking and let Seagal do the talking instead, or more plainly spoken, let the wreckage and destruction begin.
The plot couldn't be more simple than a true and false question:
Gino (Seagal) is an NYPD detective from Brooklyn who does not, and I repeat does not hesitate for a split second; he is simply instinct, and my oh my does he have a beautiful and charismatic way of expressing it. After Gino's close partner friend, Bobby Lupo, (The name is poetic to my ears) is killed in public by a crazed and unbalanced lunatic Richie (William Forsythe) things get a little personal to say the very least.
Gino is not only out for justice now, but is out for just about anybody that subsequently impedes his path to finding and killing Richie (Even the mob). Richie was the childhood enemy that everyone in Brooklyn couldn't stand, but now there's a bigger problem. Richie is still unlikable as ever and now he has developed a crack/cocaine addiction that is only exacerbating his already unstable mentality. Unfortunately for Richie, Segeal is not the only one after his blood, but the Italian mob is too after Bobby's blood was shed in front of a mob owned restaurant. I think it is appropriate to leave up to the rest of one's curious imagination what exactly happens to Richie and how far his addiction takes him.
Within the first 5 minutes of the film actions fans will be cordially welcomed to find out how well taken care of they are when Seagal goes toe to toe with a pimp whose outfit is just as bad as his small and puny frame. Without getting into too much detail and most importantly, without over hyping this scene, this is probably one of the greatest introductions I have ever appreciated in action history; moreover, it is highly masculine and testosterone driven that comes off very raw too in some ways. On a different note, I feel as though the film's true nature and dark tone is exposed in greater depth when Richie randomly kills a woman after she honks her horn at him to move out of the way. Richie's incredibly unbalanced character along with his zero empathy for life is quite unsettling. His edginess and sheer lack of compassion is enough to send one to grip their seat as even Richie's accomplices have difficult coping with his drug induced psychotic nature . The dark music score by David Michael Frank only reinforces Riche's exceedingly perilous killing spree and not to mention adds a very nice touch to the theme.
Thankfully, Gino understands crime and the nature of Richie all too well and couldn't possibly express this emotion more accurately in the way he handles and ultimately eliminates criminal trash. Seagal for lack of a better term, is utterly relentless in this film. Gino's firepower and disregard for danger is fueled by revenge and this revenge leads him to the final showdown against Richie that is impossible to forget because it is so choreographed to perfection. Seagal is simply as ruthless as Richie's addiction. Gino's natural fuel of persistent revenge is absolutely no match for Riche's artificial and short lived cocaine high. This is only reaffirmed when Gino admonishes Richie that it's a shame that he is all out of bullets because " those bullets could of saved him a lot of pain", and boy was Gino not exaggerating with those words.
Enjoy.
