Ultimate Justice

j'ai besoin des films en français s'il-vous-plaît

Needless to say that I sat down here in 2022 to watch the 2017 action thriller "Ultimate Justice" on the account of it having Mark Dacascos in the leading role. Had I ever heard about this movie from writers Marco Theiss and Mike Leeder? No, not even a single thing. But I figured that an action thriller with Mark Dacascos couldn't possibly be all that bad. Boy was I wrong. Writers Marco Theiss and Mike Leeder couldn't even concoct a storyline that made any logical sense. There was no apparent red thread throughout the course of the movie. And that made for a chaotic and disjointed movie experience. And I have to say that I gave up on "Ultimate Justice" one hour into the ordeal. The storyline was just utter rubbish. Sure, there were a couple of nicely enough choreographed and executed action and fight scenes throughout the ordeal, but it was nowhere enough to lift up the rubbish that passed for a storyline here. The acting performances in "Ultimate Justice" were stilted, wooden and rigid. And not even Mark Dacascos himself seemed to buy into director Martin Christopher Bode's 2017 action thriller. And to make matters worse, then the majority of the cast ensemble were German performers, not that there is anything wrong with that, but they were apparently dubbed into English dialogue. And poorly dubbed as well, I might add. Do yourself a favor and stay well clear of "Ultimate Justice", even if you are a fan of Mark Dacascos. Some of us suffered through this ordeal in smaller or greater extend so you don't have to. My rating of "Ultimate Justice" lands on a two out of ten stars.

This movie was so incredibly awful. It harkened back to the days of '80s martial arts movies, full of unrealistic and anatomically impossible combat movements that defy logic. Hardenned warriors with pistols fight heavily armed and armored enemies through superior skill and something that would never pass for tactics. This is like Steven Seagal and Jean-Claude of old. In short, it was so terrible that it is a thing of beauty. If you believed that the American Ninja was a real ninja, this movie's for you.

First off I watched the english dubbed version of this movie and boy was the dubbing the cringiest thing ever. The actions scene were usual fair of terrible. Bad choegraphy where guys with guns randomly decide to enter hand to hand combat for no reason, elite expert mercenaries can't hit the broad side of a barn, horrible special effects for the guns. The entire story was terrible. There is only 2 things you need to know about the story. In beginning of the movie we see VME a private security company try to pull a hostage rescue. Something goes wrong in their operation and a couple of their agents are killed in the operation. Their lead field agent and cofounder of the company Gus is upset by this and tells the operations manger and other cofounder of the company Sturm that he is quitting because of how distraught he is from losing a couple of their agents in operation. They don't talk for a while and meet up at some party. Sturm tells Gus that he sold VME because it didn't feel the same without him. Shortly afterwards some young crazy gold digger chick comes over and flirts with Sturm and wants to hook up with him. He rejects her and tells her she is too young and leaves the party afterwards. Sometime later Gus goes to visit Sturm with his girlfriend. It is then shown that Sturm ended up marrying the young gold digger girl and has a daughter with her, since he reached out to her after the party. After Gus leaves a team thugs break into Sturm's house assaults him and forces him to watch them rape and kills his wife, and kidnaps his daughter. They leave him a live and he contacts Gus to go save his daughter. The rest of the movie is nonsense and is not worth mentioning. Fast forward to the last 5 minutes of the movie. Its revealed that Sturm had staged the whole thing from the start because he was mad how Gus had essentially forced him to sell VME and cucked him. He reveals that he had some kind of genetic disease and was going to die soon, he did a DNA test on his daughter to see if she had inherited the disease also found out he wasn't the father of his daughter. It was Gus who had hooked up and had a one night stand with the young gold digger girl at the party after Sturm had initially rejected her. So essentially Sturm planned a elaborate hoax to have himself beat up, have his wife raped and murdered, and his own daughter kidnap so that he could send Gus his previous best friend / partner on a wild goose chase to save his (actually Gus's) daughter to have Gus killed. In the process of going through this entire hoax, Sturm unintentionally causes the death of all the ex-VME agents who volunteered to help Gus track down who was behind Sturm's attacks, all because Sturm wanted to kill Gus because Gus had knocked up the gold digger that he had rejected and eventually married.

This was a mess of a movie. I was surprised by the amount of great action stars. The only positive part of this movie was the action scenes as they were very well done and a blast to watch. Everything else is awful. Even the dubbing was off the whole film and the plot was non existent. Also a big issue I had was the fact the characters had good chemistry but watching them all get knocked off one by one felt very cheap. The acting was terrible as well but expected in this type of b movie.

An elite mercenary group is brought back together by a tragedy that they immediately investigate. Ultimate Justice is an action thriller with surprising plot twists. Mark Dacoscos is great as always and the leader of the minor league Expendables like team. The story is not great and the motivation for this is revealed at the film's conclusion. However, if you can overlook that, Ultimate Justice delivers the goods for action with a lot of it with some really well choreographed fights and shootouts. Ultimate Justice probably won't be anyone's favorite movie of all time, but for a B action flick, it gets the job done and if you are a Mark Dacoscos fan you should enjoy this,as I have.

Basically a remake of 1982 "Kill Squad" with a couple of changes here and there

I know the director/producer (Martin Christopher Bode) is trying hard to become the next Michael Bay but geez... people are homeless and starving everywhere and you spent money making this garbage? Couldn't get past the the 00:30:00 mark...

Love the movie. Has great effects and nice visuals.

Starts as a low-budget Expendables, the fight sequences are very well choreographed, and there are plenty of them. Good to see familiar faces like Dacascos and Hues proving they can still do their thing. German martial arts star Mike Moller was a scene stealer, hoping to see more of him in the future. Also have to note Mike Leeder, who has become a legend in the martial arts world behind the scenes, has an enjoyable character on screne in this one. Some shocking character deaths with a WTF kind of twist at the end that put this low budget actioner above average for me. I tend to take negative reviews with a grain of salt, if you are a fan of anyone in the film, you won't go away disappointed.
