This film above the law 1988 is the debut of action legend Steven Seagal and wow what a start first film with Warner brothers what can i say its not usual fast paced action film but with slow and combined with story hey its no masterpiece but you have to see Seagal here i am someone who followed every Seagal film ever seen his every film even now that he does bad ones that no one watches but i do and some hardcore fans like me and oh its got Sharon Stone in here what a surprise, some people really hate Steven Seagal i mean what has this man done to you this guy is sure entertaining then any comic book crap movies or recent mission impossible garbage that comes out like mi: fallout 2018 or the dark knight or endgame,sure Steven Seagal and his films are not every ones cup of tea but his prime era films are his best sure he went downhill in early 2000's and sine doing horrible direct to DVD films with his cinema theatrical releases got cut and no one casts him in big budget Actioners but this does not mean that this guy deserves hate, with the same director after few years in 90's Seagal made under siege which later spawned a sequel under siege 2 dark territory ,if you like Stallone,Arnold,Van Damme,Jet Li,Jackie Chan or Bruce Willis then add Steven Seagal to your list he was one ultra cool guy when he was young and it shows here why specially the climax remember this film is slow so it requires patience the action is very grounded here its not over the top its very realistic i don't mean to tell you this film requires repeated viewings or its got great repeat value no it don't but for once at least see this to get a different look at cinema through a different perspective my rating is 5/10.
