Seagal plays a retired DEA agent who decides to quit the job when his last drug bust ended violently with his partner being gunned down by a topless prostitute. Anyway Seagal decides to return to his quiet neighborhood life. But since this is a Seagal movie, we know his longings for personal peace would be in vain. Jamaican gangs (led by a Voodoo magician/drug lord named Screwface) in the neighborhood are dealing dope in the neighborhood and are having a messy turf war with the local Italian gang. Seagal gets involved… gets "marked for death" and then proceeds to systematically wipe them all out. The movie violence is definitely what sorts this Seagal movie from the other bunch. Like "Under Siege" and "Out for Justice", Seagal takes normal B-movie action to unprecedented heights. While the shootouts come off as typical and maybe uninspired, the scenes of hand to hand combat are violently thrilling and have an undeniably cathartic feeling to it. Every time Seagal twists and breaks a Jamaican creep's limb, something inside you cheers and tells you that they deserved it for all the moral degradation they have brought to the community. The technical aspects of the movie are also well done, with the production design and the music perfectly capturing the seedy environment of the Jamaica underworld. The acting is mostly ok, but the strongest performance in the movie doesn't come from any of the protagonists, coming instead from leading bad guy Screwface (Basil Wallace). His performance came off as menacing and threatening. Seagal gives another one of his so-so performances, this time less ambitious and charismatic than his acting in "Above the Law". Overall a great Seagal movie.Read full review
Has world's sexiest dancing scene. Has the world's most EVIL JAMAICAN, portrayed by an amazingly talented actor. This guy (Wallace) is Damn Convincing, and added greatly to this film.

if you are a seagal fan, this needs to be in your collection, if you are not a seagal fan this is one to get to see why he has such a following. The plot is ok in this, butt where the excitement comes from is the great fight scenes. This is why some love seagal & he does not disappoint here, the action is excellent & seagal shows off his martial arts expertise. He does his fighting with his hands which made him famous & does some good ass kicking scenes. This is a must have for any seagal fan.
