...Davis packs it with excitingly grimy Chicago atmosphere, and the actors, Seagal included, give it a terse, hard-bitten energy...
Los Angeles Times

Rating: C+ -- A jejune actioner that has pretensions of making a political statement about such things as drugs, smuggling and illegals. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- above-average, and much better than Seagal's later efforts

Rating: 3/4 -- It contains 50 percent more plot than it needs, but that allows it room to grow in areas not ordinarily covered in action thrillers. Full Review

...Robert Steadman's eye for capturing all of the action without crowding the picture is well executed...

Product Description:

Probably the best of Steven Seagal's three-word-titled action films from the 1990s was his debut, ABOVE THE LAW. Seagal plays Nico, a tough cop who pulls off the biggest drug bust of his career, only to have the FBI throw a wrench in it: why are they protecting one of the country's biggest drug lords, and what does it have to do with Nico's covert work in Vietnam' As his temper explodes all over Chicago, Nico's sixth-degree black belt in aikido proves helpful in his search for answers. Blaxploitation icon Pam Grier plays Nico's partner, Jax.
