Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
The glowering brutality that is aikido head-banger Steven Seagal's substitute for a star persona at least gives us a rancid taste of authenticity in Marked for Death, a cookie-cutter action picture. This glum lug seems really to enjoy hurting people; he snaps limbs and shatters noses with visible relish. Pitted against a gang of Jamaican gangsters who invade his (white ethnic) Chicago neighbourhood and threaten his family, retired DEA agent John Hatcher sets out to solve the case with robotic efficiency, kicking butt in just about every scene. Not quite as pudgy in this 1990 outing as he became a few films later, Seagal looks like the genuine, lethal article in the fight sequences but like a hopeless amateur when he tries to act his way out of the waterlogged-paper-bag of a script. So what else is new? The one bright spot here is Basil Wallace, a mostly unsung actor who throws himself into the showy role of the Rasta gang-boss Screwface, a garishly scarred psycho with piercing ice-blue eyes. --David Chute, Amazon.com

THE BBFC HAVE CUT IT TO PEICES!!! Don't even bother buying it. Get the NTSC region 1 version or a Dutch import. The fight scenes are heavily cut and really, it ruins the whole film and is very evident - and I mean they will cut out an Aikedo arm break or a knife slash or stab or sometimes an entire fight with an individual. The BBFC are insane choppers of movies even intended for adults of 18 and over.
THEY are the ones who need to be censored!!!

MARKED FOR DEATH is a great action film - and also marks the most violent film of his career.I have no idea why the BBFC finally passed this one uncut, while some others remain heavily edited.
MARKED FOR DEATH - having been wrongly accused as being a racist film - features more bone cracking action than any film I have evers seen, as he attempts to bring down the Jamaican drug dealers that have invaded his hometown. Together with an old buddy of his he takes them on bear handedly and soon finds himself marked for death by their occult leader who uses voodoo.
Combines action with a bit of occult horror and very strong violence.

Screwface, mon VS de Whiteboy Hatcha
Marked for Death is a bit of an anomaly in the early, golden-age of Seagal cinematic rampages. The man was virtually owned by Warner, but M4D was released by Twentieth Century Fox. Read more

cut to pieces
This release of this movie has had most of the nasty unarmed combat scenes watered down or cut out.Look for the Dutch version which is uncut and far better.

All you could possibly want in an action movie!
Seagal plays a cop who goes after Jamaican drug lords and risks the safety of him and his family.Expect nothing more than ultra-violence and top of the notch action. Read more
