But Nico does not stop and is suspended from the police force. But when there is an explosion in the church of his neighborhood and his friend and parish priest Joseph Gennaro is murdered, Nico chases Salvano and discovers a corruption ring that is planning to kill the American Senator Ernest Harrison that is investigating the involvement of the CIA with drug traffic.
In honour of the 2010 news regarding one Mr Steven Seagal's employee hiring policy, I decided to revisit one of his best. Admittedly he only has a few real good ones.<br/><br/>Stevie is Nico, a half bald, half mulletted pre-ponytail guy with an eyebrow you could rest a coffee cup on and pitch black eyes. Nico was once a good soldier in Nam who deserted after some naughty CIA dudes held an interrogation that he felt got out of hand. He is also a martial arts master andI later discovered, totally runs like a big girl.<br/><br/>Back in tha worl'. Nico makes what might then have been an OK move in marrying Sharon Stone and popping out a kid, he is now a cop and his partner is Jackson (Pam Grier), who hopefully is a better cop than Grier is an actress.<br/><br/>Nico loves two things - his family and tank tops - and hates only crime. After rousting a bar one day to find his mischievous niece who was seduced by the dark side Nico gets a big tip that a big deal is going down, the cops plan a way to make a bust. Of course the sting goes sour when the CIA get involved, but don't worry kids ol' Nico will get it right! Once he fixes things though, the CIA let his guys off anyway and they are freed to blow up the very church Nico and fam frequents.<br/><br/>You know sh*t's going to blaze up now! The CIA pull some strings and Nico is incorrectly framed for a crime he did not commit. No longer an active cop, Nico goes off the grid to get the info he needs while Jackson does some research for him.<br/><br/>We know where this is headed don't we? Apparently 5 guys with machine guns aren't enough to get Nico, even when they have the drop on him, and Nico obviously trained at the "1 assailant at a time" dojo,in each fight the background guys wait patiently for their turn to flail aimlessly and get smacked in the back of the head.<br/><br/>This is far less violent than I remembered, but then I did first watch it when I was in my teens. But I distinctly recall more snapping of limbs than I witnessed last night, I am positive there must be an unrated or R rated version running around that I missed. I mean what's the point of watching a violent action film without the violence? This film also wins the award for using the word "Motherf*cker" more than any other non-urban film I can remember… And when I say non-urban, I mean a film without many black guys in it.<br/><br/>Final Rating – 5.5 / 10. Nico hasn't aged that well, and I mean that botha film, andSteven Seagal.
Above the Law is set in Chicago during 1988 where Nico Toscani (co-producer Steven Seagal) worksa tough narcotics cop, while forcibly removing his niece from a crack house he beats some information out of a punk & learns of a large shipment of drugs being imported into the country. Toscani sets a bust up & local drug dealer Salvano (Daniel Faraldo) is arrested, however instead of drugs Toscani finds lots of C4 explosives. After a C4 bomb goes off in his local Church Toscani digs deeper & discovers a plot by evil corrupt CIA agent Kurt Zagon (Henry Silva) to assassinate a senator who might expose him, once Zagon realise Toscani knows his plans he also becomes a target…<br/><br/>This American Hong Kong co-production was co-written, co-produced & directed by Andrew Davis & is probably more notable for being Steven Seagal's feature film debut back when he was thin than for being any good, to be frank I don't think it's one of Seagal's better action films but it's far from his worst. The script by Steven Pressfield, Ronald Shusett & Davis is actually a touch dull, it aimlessly wanders between OK action set-pieces without much of a story to maintain ones interest. The basic message of Above the Law is that it is dangerous to have organisations which are, well, above the law & not accountable to anyone. It's not much of a message to be honest & the only reason anyone would be interested in watching Above the Law is for the action & violence, there are some trademark brutal fight scenes with Seagal chopping bad guy's hands off, breaking necks & beating people with baseball bats but it's a little low key at times. The character's are a bit clichéd & not particularly good, there is also a lot of profanity & bad language. In fact by the end of Above the Law I thought everyone's favourite two words were 'f*cker' & 'mother', not necessarily in that order of course…<br/><br/>Director Davis & Seagal team up for the first time & would reunite for the much better Under Siege (1992) a few years later, here he directs the action in a rather workmanlike fashion with competence but nothing outstanding or that memorable. I just didn't think the action scenes were 'big' enough if you get what I mean. I couldn't quite believe how young & thin Seagal looked in this, I really can't. Despite his stupid looking pony-tail he's quite impressive in this & looksif he could kick your ass.<br/><br/>Technically the film is fine, it's well made & functional but nothing that's going to win any awards. Shot on location in Illinois in Chicago. The acting is OK but everyone seems to swear constantly which gets annoying, Pam Grier & Henry Silva have roles while Sharon Stone gets almost top billing in the credits for about three minutes of screen time.<br/><br/>Above the Law (originally called Nico here in the UK) is an average Seagal action flick, the only really notable aspect of it is that it was Seagal's feature film debut but that doesn't automatically make it any good, does it?
