'Renegade Justice'aka'Urban Justice' (2007) - Don E. FauntLeRoy.

Sensei Seagal is once more on a relentlessly bloody crusade for righteous villain quashing vengeance, this time out the bullet-whisperer is single-minded skell slayer Simon Bollister, a justice-seeking patriarch returning to L.A. to find those directly responsible for his undercover cop son's brutal slaying. Thus far, this is Meat N' potatoes Seagal, the very same stodgy diet that fatally turned the once svelte aikido bone breaker of 'Nico' into the altogether huskier head-knocker of today, but, curiously, this 2007 offering with the almost ritualistically generic title is riotously replete with more blistering B-Movie mayhem than one might expect, 'Renegade Justice' finds the hulking, helmet-haired hatriot on terrific thug-trashing form, scowling Seagal's merciless one-man death-crusade decimating half the clueless gang-bangers in a grisly shrapnel of bullets, bloody bone fragments, and pulverised egos!

Many of Seagal's more misbegotten films of the noughties are quite rightly dismissed as being nothing but poorly edited, body-doubled B-Movie backwash, but in 'Renegade Justice', the sour-faced skull cracker reveals crimson shades of his old gory! Director Don E. FauntLeRoy is to be heartily congratulated opting to enliven the prosaic plot with near-Peckinpah levels of slo-mo ballistic splatter, proper gnarly blood-squibs, gruesome practical FX, rather than cut-price CGI trickery, and these monster blood hits are the true shooting stars of the show! 'Renegade Justice' is an exceptionally boisterous Seagal title I'd happily pick up on Blu-ray.
