A war veteran and ex-drug agent named John Hatcher (Steven Seagal) retires himself from his dangerous employment. He returns to his family , his sister (Bette Ford) and nephew(Danielle Harris). But he confronts against a Jamaican dope delinquents led by Screwface (Basil Wallace who's a better villain than Seagal's previous films). And as the title says marked him and his family for death. Hatcher and his pals (Keith David and Tom Wright) are back in action to track down the Jamaican killer who is threatening his family. Then Hatcher and Screwface playing a cat-and-mouse game. Elaborately produced action film with tough Seagal is just another action film full of struggles ,thrills, noise and lots of violence. Ever-wooden Seagal as almost always, playing a two-fisted and loner cop, he delivers the goods in his own style full of usual violence and fights with snapping wrists and worth it just to see Steve in Jamaica where appears singing Jimmy Cliff. Atmospheric musical score by James Newton Howard though composed by synthesizer and appropriate cinematography by Ric Waite. The picture was made in the Seagal's best period when he played high budget movies such as ¨Hard to kill¨(1990 by Bruce Malmuth), ¨Under siege¨ ( Seagal's best film to date, 92, Andrew Davis), ¨Dark territory¨ (95, Geoff Murphy), ¨Executive decision¨ (96 by Stuart Baird), ¨Glimmer man¨ ((96, John Gray), ¨Exit wounds¨(2001, Andre Bartkowiak), among others. Nowadays he does fairly low standards, lesser budget and direct to video movies, such as ¨Half past dead¨, ¨The foreigner¨ and its sequel and many others. Director Dwight H. Little who gave credibility to Wesley Snipes in 'Murder at 1600' teams up with Aikido expert Seagal for this action-filled cop thriller. The result is a strong outing for action enthusiasts and Seagal is fun to watch.

Marked for Death

AbuminyaRFeb 15, 2023

This movie makes no good sense at all. The plot is outrageously stupid, Steven Seagal is only in here to fight (I enjoy him but he aggravates the heck out of me.) Steven Seagal was only good with the two Under Sieges, that's about it. Basil Wallace was Screwface, but his part was just as bad as Seagal's. He can act but his character is just plain stupid. Overall if you like Steven Seagal, you might hint at liking this movie. If you like bloody stupidity, you might like this movie. If it comes on TV and you are really bored, then try to watch. But do not rent it. There is a plot twist at the end but its pretty dumb. Rating 2 out of 10.

Marked for Death is an entertaining movie. Steven Seagal stars as retired Drug Enforcement Agent John Hatcher who is hot on the trail of a Jamaican drug lord. The fight scenes are excellent, confirming my belief that Steven Seagal is one of the best action stars in the world. The movie itself is exciting and dazzling, and it moves at a fast pace. It is one of Seagal's best films.

Chicago DEA agent John Hatcher has just returned from Colombia, where his partner was killed in the line of duty by a drug dealer who has since been taken down. As a result of his partner's death, John has decided to retire, but his retirement may not be permanent. On the next day, after reuniting with his sister Melissa and Melissa's daughter Tracy, John gets into a shootout against a Jamaican drug kingpin known as Screwface, taking down some of Screwface's men. John brings himself out of retirement when Screwface retaliates by attempting to kill Melissa and Tracy. After the shooting, John is reunited with two old friends - a local high school football coach named Max, and a Jamaican Chicago cop named Charles. John and Max set out to hunt Screwface down, only to discover that Screwface has gone back to Jamaica. John and Max take Charles with them to Jamaica for an all out war against Screwface and his drug empire. Back in the day when Seagal had his ponytail, he made some great movies and they were a lot of fun and action packed, but than fire down below happened and it all went downhill from there. This has got to be his most fun film to date, it's got one of the best villains ever, who is genuinely menacing and psychotic, and instead of going for the normal Gangsters AKA Italians in this movie, they opt for a Jamaican Posse, who have an eerie mysticism of their own. We know that the villain is bad, because he wears really awful jumpers, gets mad when plays dominoes, wakes up from nightmares in a really dramatic way, and spits Bacardi in Seagals sisters face. But the more evil and over dramatic the villain, the more we Want Seagal to Kick the guys butt, so Kudos to Basil Wallace. As for Seagal, he's how he normally is, Average acting, getting heavier, and starting to wear odd clothes. But his fighting skills in this are some of the best he has ever done, and the set pieces are awe-inspiring, even if they do get a bit over the top toward the end. It's more fun than Above the Law and Hard to kill, and on a par with Under Siege. A great film to start with Seagal.

Yeah, what can you say about Seagal movies? He's a maverick ex-DEA agent in this who gets on the wrong side of a bunch of voodoo practicing Jamaican stereotypes trying to corner the dope market. The Jamaicans led by Screwface take a shot at Seagal's sister and niece, so Seagal, his old war buddy (David Keith), and a Jamaican cop go gangbusters on the Jamaicans chasing them through city parks, department stores and eventually back home to Jamaica. There's plenty of clumsy bad guys getting their limbs bent in the wrong direction, gunfights, knifeplay and other mayhem, heck even a swordfight. Seagal'a character in these movies is untouchable and not to be denied so he always wins of course. His shooting and killing of so many bad guys in public places without any real consequences is evidence of this. Seagal's actions and character make sure he comes across as a bloodthirsty maniac rather than the cool anti-hero he tries so hard to be.

An American action film; A story set in Chicago about a recently retired Drug Enforcement Administration agent whose family is attacked by a drug lord so he retaliates with fierce vengeance. While this amounts to a formulaic crime based actioner, it has a charismatic protagonist who cuts a striking figure dispatching villains in well choreographed martial arts. Otherwise it lacks suspense. Low lighting works well for mood and tone but in some scenes it feels too murky for purpose. Many of the villainous characters are bluntly observed. They either reinforce racial stereotypes or talk in a clichéd 'made man' gangster speak.
