12/05: Because of Steven Seagal, Out for Justice is an entertaining kick-ass picture.

He's fascinating to watch. As far as the story goes, it's well-done, focusing on the conflict between Gino and Richie. Undoubtedly, the best line of the film is "Anybody seen Richie?" with a shot of Steven Seagal expressing his displeasure after learning nobody has.

All in all, Out for Justice is one of these films that can be seen countless times.

1/14: I can watch Out for Justice repeatedly and never get tired of it.

Why? It's because Steven Seagal is kicking asses all over the place. The "Anybody seen Richie?" line is still a classic, and the bar fight scene should be studied and analyzed in film schools across the country. Typically, at the end of most action-adventure pictures, I have to suffer from watching a long, protracted mano a mano fight. But not in Out for Justice. Gino gives Richie the most one-sided beatdown I've ever seen.

All in all, Out for Justice is a Steven Seagal classic.

1/20: "Anybody seen Richie? I'm gonna keep coming back until somebody remembers seeing Richie."

To top it off is the look of Gino's displeasure when he gets no answer after beating up everybody in the pool hall for the instant Steven Seagal classic Out for Justice. Recapturing the same feel, he smartly went back to Warner Bros. after completing Marked for Death for 20th Century Fox.

The story is simple: Gino is looking for Richie Madano all over Brooklyn so he can kill him. Of all the films I've seen, Out for Justice has the best and the funniest one-sided beatdown which includes Richie getting smacked in the head with an iron skillet before being stabbed in the forehead with a corkscrew.

All in all, Out for Justice is pure entertainment.
