A action packed mess of a movie.

This was a mess of a movie. I was surprised by the amount of great action stars. The only positive part of this movie was the action scenes as they were very well done and a blast to watch. Everything else is awful. Even the dubbing was off the whole film and the plot was non existent. Also a big issue I had was the fact the characters had good chemistry but watching them all get knocked off one by one felt very cheap. The acting was terrible as well but expected in this type of b movie.

What a waste of production money...

I know the director/producer (Martin Christopher Bode) is trying hard to become the next Michael Bay but geez... people are homeless and starving everywhere and you spent money making this garbage? Couldn't get past the the 00:30:00 mark...

Really badly done

This movie feels low budget from start to finish. Had a lot of very bad acting. Poor direction, decent choreography. And way too many fight scenes. Very, very little plot hollow cardboard characters. And a thoroughly unconvincing movie. Watch this movie if you have absolutely nothing else to do with the hours of your life.

The end or so-called revealtion was dumb beyond belief.

(2017) Ultimate Justice ACTION

Gus (Mark Dacascos) working as a leader of a special forces team of about five or six, i forget going on a saving missions until the so-called daughter of one of the members is kidnapped, recalling the members back in a save situation. Except that each member from Gus's special unit are killed one by one, motivating Gus to figure out whether there's a mole more something that is much more sinister. You know, I hate action movies that make you think that it's black and white and then it turns grey, very very grey. The ending was so dumb beyond belief, I left with hating the movie even more.

Dacascos still has it

Starts as a low-budget Expendables, the fight sequences are very well choreographed, and there are plenty of them. Good to see familiar faces like Dacascos and Hues proving they can still do their thing. German martial arts star Mike Moller was a scene stealer, hoping to see more of him in the future. Also have to note Mike Leeder, who has become a legend in the martial arts world behind the scenes, has an enjoyable character on screne in this one. Some shocking character deaths with a WTF kind of twist at the end that put this low budget actioner above average for me. I tend to take negative reviews with a grain of salt, if you are a fan of anyone in the film, you won't go away disappointed.

Sloppy Seconds

I didn't expect the world from 'Ultimate Justice', but star Mark Dacascos has had some fun dtv titles. Plus it allowed me to see Landwehr, Hues and Möller together after the lackluster 'Last Kumite'. Obviously a low budget pic this has some good action, but a bum ending nearly sinks the whole thing.

A leading European private military outfit lead by Gus (Dacascos) are sent in to rescue a hostage, but lose team members in the process. Now disillusioned Gus sells the company he co-founded with pal Hans (Wolfgang Riehm) off. At a party the two enjoy drinks and company of Michaela (Sandra Tauro). Eight years pass and Hans ended up marrying her and having a kid. Then his house broken into sees wife murdered, the daughter kidnapped and he reenlists his friend for help getting her back, finding out who attacked him and why.

Most of the members are given little character moments when they're sought out to reform the team. Hand to hand fights are choreographed well, but the same can't be said for a lone car chase. Shooting is also mired by obvious CGI and poor dubbing of it's foreign cast. You can see for every good element one lets it down. Enjoyed 'Ultimate Justice' right up until the end though when a ridiculous reveal came out of left field.

A dumpster fire of a movie...

Needless to say that I sat down here in 2022 to watch the 2017 action thriller "Ultimate Justice" on the account of it having Mark Dacascos in the leading role.

Had I ever heard about this movie from writers Marco Theiss and Mike Leeder? No, not even a single thing. But I figured that an action thriller with Mark Dacascos couldn't possibly be all that bad.

Boy was I wrong.

Writers Marco Theiss and Mike Leeder couldn't even concoct a storyline that made any logical sense. There was no apparent red thread throughout the course of the movie. And that made for a chaotic and disjointed movie experience. And I have to say that I gave up on "Ultimate Justice" one hour into the ordeal. The storyline was just utter rubbish.

Sure, there were a couple of nicely enough choreographed and executed action and fight scenes throughout the ordeal, but it was nowhere enough to lift up the rubbish that passed for a storyline here.

The acting performances in "Ultimate Justice" were stilted, wooden and rigid. And not even Mark Dacascos himself seemed to buy into director Martin Christopher Bode's 2017 action thriller. And to make matters worse, then the majority of the cast ensemble were German performers, not that there is anything wrong with that, but they were apparently dubbed into English dialogue. And poorly dubbed as well, I might add.

Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Ultimate Justice", even if you are a fan of Mark Dacascos. Some of us suffered through this ordeal in smaller or greater extend so you don't have to.

My rating of "Ultimate Justice" lands on a two out of ten stars.

Remake of a bad movie

Basically a remake of 1982 "Kill Squad" with a couple of changes here and there

This might be just what you're looking for

This movie was so incredibly awful. It harkened back to the days of '80s martial arts movies, full of unrealistic and anatomically impossible combat movements that defy logic. Hardenned warriors with pistols fight heavily armed and armored enemies through superior skill and something that would never pass for tactics. This is like Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude of old.

In short, it was so terrible that it is a thing of beauty. If you believed that the American Ninja was a real ninja, this movie's for you.

Uneven.

2:00am, can't sleep, looking for a movie to kill time. Mark Dacascos appears in the thumbnail for the movie. I recognized him from his performance in John Wick 3. Easy sell. I'm immediately drawn into the plot. The first thing you notice, if you are the slightest fan of the action genre? The clock has not been set. One of the review referred to as a knockoff of The Expendable. A fair assessment. I would add a mixture of The Gladiator. The action pieces are executed very well, exposition, action pieces etc. The clock has not been set. It becomes clear what the director substituted for the clock. I will not reveal any of the plot defects other than for an elite group dumb mistake to advanced the movie. The other drawback, paying half bit of attention and you are part of the red-pilled community it will tickle your fancy. This is an action movie for the set pieces alone worth viewing, at least one time at 2:00 in the morning.

Awesome action movie

This is a very well written and directed action movie, with some twists.

It is not as well advertised as the blockbusters, but storywise and actionwise it is better. The action scenes coreografy is amazing.
