Martial Law III - Tödliches Komplott

This movie really rocks! Jeff Wincott is terrific in the film! His fighting incredible! He is such a fast martial artist! Brigitte Nielsen & Matthias Hues was very good! Mission of Justice is an action packed movie that is never boring! If you like fighting movies with incredible non stop action then check out Mission of Justice today!

Jeff Wincott plays a cop who infiltrates the "Mission" to see what is really going on. From the outside it looks like a peace keeping group of martial arts trained civilians, but Brigette Nielson has other agendas. Wincott does a respectable job in this movie, but as it is called Mission of Justice:Martial Law III, I expected more. The previous two movies featured Cynthia Rothrock and it almost seemed like they threw in Neilson as a replacement gratuitous blonde. If Cynthia had been in this one it would get higher marks, but without her I give it 6/10 rating. It's probably worth seeing once, but don't expect it to WOW you twice!

Dependable b-movie action / martial arts star Jeff Wincott gets joined by some recognizable faces in the supporting cast in a bid to solve the murder of a friend and serve up a heaping of ass kicking in 'Mission of Justice'. A fairly well made popcorn flick that pulls no surprises but has the goods. Fans of decent dtv martial arts flicks give this one a go!

Officer Kurt Harris (Wincott) quits the force in disgust when a perp is let go then friend Cedric (Tony Burton) a gym owner and ex boxing champ is murdered by Rachel Larkin (Brigitte Nielsen) and her brother Titus (Matthias Hues). Larkin is waging a secret war with the use of her posse "The Peacemakers" who roam the street fighting crime. All in a bid to gather public support, undermine the police, incumbent mayor and win the next election. Harris quickly deduces this group had something to do with his friend's death and joins their ranks to investigate.

Wincott is in top form here chop socking guys to kingdom come, Nielsen plays the cold conniving witch with ease. Hues is of course a formidable end boss fight while the appearance of Burton (Rocky series) is great and actor Tom Wood (Under Siege, The Fugitive) pops up playing a yes man yuppie. Real life martial artist Karen Sheperd lends her abilities as Harris's dependable police officer partner.

'Mission of Justice' has the assortment of fisticuffs you crave carried out by good fight choreography & stunt work. You can deduct a point for it's low budget or the routine story, but Wincott busting up bad dudes is a pretty fun time every step of the way.

Despite being titled "Martial Law III" in the US, "Mission of Justice" has nothing to do with the two previous "Martial Law" films - Jeff Wincott appears in the second one, but as a different character. Unlike those two films, the focus here stays almost exclusively on the male star (Wincott), who has three extended fight scenes among the smaller ones. His female cop partner Karen Sheperd is limited to a small supporting role and gets only one extended fight (Karen also sports an unflattering haircut that hides her beauty). The story begins well, but wears out in the second half. However, Wincott is good at projecting intensity and anger, and there are enough hard-hitting, bone-crunching fight scenes to keep most fans of this genre satisfied. Rent it before you buy it. (**)

Jeff Wincott is not only a Hunk, he can kick butt! This movie has some of the best Martial arts moves I've seen in a very long time. Ok, so maybe Bridgette Nielson isn't the first person I'd hire to play a ruthless politician, she did a GREAT job nontheless! And let's not forget that Wincott has a partner in this movie played by Martial arts expert/stuntwoman Karen Sheperd. So she's not Cynthia Rothrock, Who CARES?! She's just as good, if not BETTER! (just check out her fight scene at the end of the movie, one word: OUCH!!). My suggestion would be to buy this movie as soon as possible, because if you haven't seen it, you're really missing out on some great martial arts action.
