Customer Reviews

Seagal is back with a kick !
I have been a fan of Steven Seagal since I saw the brilliant Under Siege 1&2. His latest films haven't been that good , because he seems to be going through the motions with litle plot and pace. This film is little better with a confused opening scene which is action packed but lacks any narrative. Seagal is again an ex-Agent helping his fellow agents or mercenary's on this occasion. Luke Goss of ex 1980's pop duo 'Bros' is here and is a fine actor and carries this movie along. Seagal has some action scenes but again it looks like a stunt double is doing the action. If this film had been better plotted and been less manic it would have been so much better. So I can only give this effort 3 stars as Mr Seagal needs to do a whole lot better.

Best since Exit Wounds.
I just saw this on DVD and didn't expect much, but was really surprised! I'm a huge Steven Seagal fan and Mercenary for Justice is a cracking return to form. Fast paced, great action, and some bone crunching fight scenes -- it's really stylish. If you're into action and you're a Seagal fan like me this is a cracking movie.

IT'S TIME TO FIGHT AGAIN
Steven Seagal has come out with an array of DTV titles since 2003's The Foreigner and none since then have been very successful in winning over many action fans. As a hardcore fan, I personally have been entertained and disappointed in Steve's stuff of late due to uses of voice dubbing, fight doubles and very flat plots, which is why Mercenary For Justice is an exception.

The plot is very simple: group of mercenaries are betrayed on a mission by their boss, mercenaries are then blackmailed into taking another mission, mercenaries get mad, mercenaries get even.

What separates MFJ from Seagal's last couple is the obviously improved production values, the opening battle sequence looks almost as good as your average war film (not forgetting the uncanny over the top ability of all protagonists to hit their targets with extreme precision). Seagal doesn't appear to be dubbed and performs 95% of his own stunts and fights, which is a breath of fresh air for this fan (and for most I would imagine). He looks like he's having fun with this movie and works well with his supporting actors. A very big mention must go to Roger Guenveur Smith who plays Chapel, his character is so ridiculously over the top that its almost impossible not to like him.

All in all, MFJ is an great, fun action movie and Steven Seagal's best since Into The Sun.

Thank you for reading my review.
