Mourning his partner who recently died in the line of duty, Drug Enforcement Administration agent John Hatcher (Steven Seagal) confesses to his old pal Max (Keith David), a high school football coach, that he has decided to retire. Then Chicago drug lord Screwface (Basil Wallace) puts out a hit on Hatcher's family. Now, thirsty for vengeance, this grizzled man of action fearlessly returns to the fray, and, when the skittish Screwface flees to Jamaica, Hatcher and Max are in hot pursuit.

Seagal looks like James Belushi on steroids and talks in a whisper but is convincing in his martial arts moves. Go to Full Review

Marked for Death is at its best when focused on the comings and goings of the take-no-prisoners protagonist... Go to Full Review

Albus W Nov 19, 2018 A decently made Seagal film
Rey S Feb 9, 2018 A typical forgettable Seagal movie, but at least it was made in a not yet so severe PC era and this fact somewhat elevates this picture now. See more
Albus R Jan 2, 2018 2 stars for nostalgia. I really liked this as a kid but it has aged badly. Again, another film that has a sequel feel about it...Seagal plays the same character out of Above the Law and Hard to kill but gives him a different name. See more
Abraham M Nov 27, 2017 After the successes of Nico, Above the Law and Hard to Kill, before Out for Justice, Marked for Death hit the big screen. It was in fact the only Steven Seagal film to be distributed by 20th Century Fox, not Warner Bros. I didn't like the film really much because I find it to be dull and boring. Yeah, the fight scenes are enjoyable including the jewellery scene Steven and the Jamaicans and the best thing the end fight scene between Steven Seagal and Screwface. It's disturbing as hell especially when Steven gouges Screwface's eyes and breaks his back. Ouch! Like I was thinking, nothing about Marked for Death is exciting until the end like I don't mind the bone breaking. I expect more from this movie. See more
Han G May 16, 2017 One of Steven`s only good films.
Finn L Feb 20, 2017 Seagal in his prime as a recently retired drug enforcement agent who takes down a Jamaican drug lord. Lots of violence and dead bodies in this one. I never bought into the voodoo subplot but watching Seagal break numerous bones in hand-to-hand combat makes this one a film to watch. See more
