Is that his real hair? Is his fighting skill really so bad the director has to hide it by flashy fast camera work that is unintelligible? Several of the reviews don't hide the fact that this is utter rubbish. Well reviewed. This movie is full of protagonist macho bravado egotism (and lazy acting) but low on any form of skill and storytelling art-form. Some flashback scenes of a troubled ex-soldier, a superhero boss that clearly doesn't need backup (but yells for it anyway after taking out the end bad guy who was made to look middle-eastern by the way for what storytelling reason only Steven Seagal would maybe somehow know...if someone were to explain it to him) does not make a movie. After watching this on free to air ask yourself; 'Would I buy this for my collection?' then sit down with your mates to watch it... Buhahahah..!! This movie is certainly a waste of ones time.
Even 8 years ago, Steve was acting like a zombie in his films. As exec-producer, he probably didn't speak softly but carried a big sword to whack his crew. His cast were like zombies too. terrible actors. I viewed this in the condensed version on n/f but had to quit after 30 minutes. He has his barrel chest and huge body but not a enormous as now, 2018 films. I won't bother with Seagal films anymore.
Steven Seagal is solely responsible for this. Only Steven Seagal could come up with something this terrible. Only Steven Seagal could write, produce, direct and star in something this horrible. Plots are unintelligible. Dialogue is down there with the worst of Bollywood. The acting however, does hold up to my fifth grader's Christmas play. There is absolutely no redeeming quality to this no good, very bad collection of garbage. Not even Steven Seagal's hair transplant can save it.
1 - If you like watching Seagal beat up bad guys with little effort, grab your snacks and beverages to watch a bunch of those scenes per episode. If you want to see him speak clearly or show any emotional range, fuggeddaboutit.
2 - The plots are almost comically convoluted, with more double-crosses and hidden agendas than one should have to endure.
3 - Be prepared for a whole lotta stupid. Characters regularly fire far more shots without reloading than their weapons could hold. Outgunned protagonists routinely waste ammo by firing multiple shots when conserving bullets is vital. Good guys with pistols are constantly facing machine guns, and rarely bringing the weapons needed to level the playing field. After downing a foe, they frequently fail to finish obviously necessary kills, or check the fallen bodies to be sure they're no longer a threat. Or pick up their weapons for much-needed firepower.
3 - More stupidity - When time is short and thugs are all over the place, Seagal wastes time and effort by beating guys up slowly rather than dispatching them efficiently to help the rest of his team with the rest of the minions.
4 - Several members of his team, including some who are actually enjoyable to watch, die along the way. The overall story doesn't really require that - and some occur off-camera, so they don't even get the poignant death scene they deserve. That raises questions as to the reason. Availability of cheaper replacements? Fed up with Seagal's ego running everything to his tastes? Better offers for other productions? Seagal creating turnover so viewers will stay more bonded with him than with the better actors around him?
5 - This one's a biggie. Season One sets up a huge cabal of bad guys with a nuclear threat, plus a personal revenge quest up their food chain of evil for Season Two. Even with the subsequent 2012 movie/extended episode, they don't finish the tasks!!!! The thing ends as if they were planning another installment that no one was interesting in funding. Or filming. Or committing air time for. If you crave closure, spend your time on another product.

13 users reviewed True Justice, which is an awful number. The average number of people reviewing is a mess in general and it just shows their indifference. So sad. Anything below 150-200 is users faults. They just don't care and that's a terrible mentality to have.
On True Justice_ Well nothing special to add besides some good scenes, some nice martial arts, mainly Aikido, beautiful cinematography and overall average to good soundtrack.
I won't be harsh on the script / storyline (very average) because as creator and one of the producers, that is not Steven Seagal's job to come up with something shiny. It's like B-style direct-to-video summed up in a series.
It just should have had less shooting and more Aikido moves, which are very instructive. On a side note, Steven Seagal should really shed some 60-70 pounds. He just let go of his fitness a long time ago. A shame for someone who was so lean and alert.
True Justice is just a series to enjoy if you are a Steven Seagal fan, which I am and I'm sure many of you, out there, are too.
