Seagal plays DEA agent John Hatcher, who has just retired and returned to his home in Chicago following a drug bust in Columbia in which his partner was killed. His experiences have left him disheartened; he believes that there is no way the drug flow could ever be stemmed. Alas, a confrontation breaks out between him and some goons of the Jamaican drug-dealing ring Jamaican Posse who are flooding the streets with drugs. The next day, some members of the gang including its leader, Screwface (Basil Wallace), shoot the daughter, [[Danielle Harris|Tracy]], of John's sister Melissa (Elizabeth Gracen) in a drive-by shooting. Screwface then returns to Jamaica. John, alongside old friend Max ([[Keith David]]) and Jaimacan cop Charles (Tom Wright), embarks on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]] through Chicago and eventually Jamaica to take Screwface out. |

Though not quite so famous as ''[[Above the Law (film)|Above the Law]]'' or ''[[Hard to Kill]]'', this film is one of Steven Seagal's better ones; a fine example of his brand of action and which showcases him at his limb-snapping, wisecracking best. |
