Before Steven Seagal decided that he had to save the planet from environmental destruction, he used to make great, mindless action thrillers. Here, in a good example, Seagal plays a former Drug Enforcement Agency operative who gets involved in a war between local drug dealers and Jamaican Yardies when he “retires” to his home town of Chicago. Basil Wallace is wildly over the top as the bizarrely named Yardie leader Screwface, and female leads Joanna Pacula and Elizabeth Gracen are given little to do. Needless to say, the action sequences are superbly choreographed and it's directed with unflamboyant efficiency by Dwight H Little.

TOP MOVIE !!!
In Marked for Death, Steven Seagal is told to 'try to find the gentle person inside yourself.' But he doesn't spend too much time looking, preferring instead to crack the spines of his victims. Seagal plays John Hatcher, a burned-out narcotics agent who resigns from the Drug Enforcement Administration after his partner is killed. He returns to his hometown and finds the city in the thrall of a vicious Jamaican drug gang, led by the nasty Screwface (Basil Wallace). He meets an old friend, now a high school football coach, who tells John about losing his best player and his 13-year-old nephew to drug overdoses. Soon John's family is threatened and his prize Mustang stolen, so John joins forces with his buddy to take on Screwface and the drug gang themselves.

A good yet confusing film
This is really a typical Seagal film, it is very farfetched but still good to watch.
It starts off as a drugs scam with Seagal being the good guy, but then he upsets a jamacan gang who are led by a powerful man who uses black magic against his enemys.
I promis you one thing, it is a lot more exciting than this review! I reccomend it! -
