Mission of Justice

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. (**)

Don't push me, because I'm close to the edge - I'm trying not to lose my head. Not just lyrics, but the Message within the movie. When being a cop does not mean what you though it meant anymore, you might as well quit. Then again, the perception of self justice Wincotts character implies or rather has in mind and seems to have as a philosophy - well let's just say it is quite something.

There is a particular initiation scene that is quite well made (Brigitte Nielsen seemed to love it - or was it just acting/her character?). Other than that you get more or less the standard fare you get from most movies from that time. Not much story, but still quite decent overall. Suspend your disbelief and enjoy if you can

This movie (with the alternate title "Martial Law 3" for some reason) introduced me to Jeff Wincott for the first time. And it was a great introduction. Although I had never heard of him before, he seemed to be an excellent fighter. The action scenes in this movie are GREAT! There are lots of them too, by the way. The recruit fight at the Peacekeepers HQ is especially good. There's just something about one single guy beating the crap out of a bunch of people that's really fun. And for the rest of the cast: Brigitte Nielsen was a good choice for the villain. Roles like this fits her (but others don't). Matthias Hues also did a good job, as always. He's a great fighter and macho-like character, and was a good rival for Wincott in this movie.

Pretty crap plot wise but worth sticking with just to see the "Gauntlet" scene which lets Wincott lose with a pair of sticks. Awesome scene. The fight in the garage is pretty cool two with some bad guy doing a neat somersault which looked rather painful. Nice to see Karen Sheperd kicking some butt too. One of the problems I had with the film was with it's main bad guy - Matthias Hues. The guy may be well built, but fight? get outta here! On a whole the film looks a bit dated thanks to films like "Drive". I'd give it 7/10 (for being at least more entertaining than it's prequels)

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!
