    Mission of justice

    Kurt Harris ('Jeff Wincott) is the kind of police officer who beats the bad guys, then contemplates later. His partner Lynne Steel (martial arts supremo Karen Sheperd) is proficient in beating the bad guys. Kurt's hair trigger temper finally gets him kicked out of the force and he becomes an employee of mayor in waiting Dr. Rachel Larkin (Brigitte Nielsen), who heads a group called the 'Peacemaker' - a vigilante style group within the local community. Kurt becomes the group's protector, however, he has his own agenda - to avenge his best buddy Cedric's death. He suspects Dr Larkin and her team are behind this. It soon becomes apparent that the doctor's motivations aren't all that law abiding and her false posturing as an anti-crime campaigner is merely a front for an altogether more sinister organisation...

    Though he lacks a bit of personality, Jeff Wincott fights very well and acts adequately in this action-packed Martial arts film that was meant to be the third Martial Law entry with Cynthia Rothrock, however, she pulled out and was replaced by an equally skilled Karen Shephard. There's plenty of well-staged fights - highlight being the mechanic garage sequence - and enough villainy henchmen to keep the good guys busy. Brigitte Neilson does well as the villainess. The plot is good, and passes the time adequately. The negative point is that some of violence can be brutal such as a man beating a woman to death.

    Well at least Cynthia wasn't in it.

    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)

    Time To Kick Ass

    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.

    OK martial arts film

    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. (**)

    The Gauntlet!

    Not a bad movie overall...a decent plot & story(B grade stuff). Entertaining enough to keep interest(at least for me) but nothing you will most likely remember for very long after or watch again. Some decent action scenes though, the garage fight scene is memorable & 1 of the longer fights.

    I saw this movie quite a few years ago, but the part that makes this movie stick with me and stand out...is the gauntlet/stick fighting scene. That scene, I have re-watched a few times. I didn't expect that scene and was quite happy with how it was done!

    If your unsure of this movie...at least check it out for the gauntlet. A must see scene in my opinion.
