Marked for Death (1990) Reviews

Steven Seagal is generally considered a joke; but this movie is actually better than most 'revenge' against the bad guys type of movies (yes, even better than Rambo). Look, either your protagonist does his or her job well, or they are not all that great after all ... For example, look at every Jet Li film: Jet Li's characters are at the pinnacle of martial arts capabilities, but he always runs into trouble ... this is frustrating to watch... how can anyone get anything edge wise in against someone who is the ultimate fighter? In this movie, Steven Seagal is superior in capability to all the bad guys, so you never see a lackey or a flunky get a devastating hit in against him. Hah! The climactic scenes are very satisfying.

First of all, I hate Steven Seagal movies. However, the dialogue in this movie from the Jamaican posse is priceless. The movie is typical, Steven Seagal shows no emotion, enthusiasm, or anything that would let the audience know he is human, but "Screwface" and his crew are classic.
