Reviews for Above the Law
It might be arguable whether it is the best Seagal film or not, but Nico still has all important Seagal trademarks.
Woefully short on originality, intelligibility and anything resembling taste.
It contains 50 percent more plot than it needs, but that allows it room to grow in areas not ordinarily covered in action thrillers.
