Critic Reviews

Steve Jones

In action-thrillers, the destination counts less than the trip, and with Seagal you're guaranteed a breakneck ride. [08 Oct 1990, p.4D]

Mick LaSalle

An example of good, clean, incredibly brutal fun. [09 Oct 1990, p.E1]

Kevin Thomas

This handsome 20th Century Fox release is a smart piece of hard-action filmmaking. [08 Oct 1990, p.F4]

Juan Carlos Coto

The actor who used his Aikido moves to snap bad guys' forearms in Above the Law and Hard to Kill devises gorier ways to dispose of scum. But he does it all with such an obnoxious sense of higher purpose that we get the feeling he's not in on the fun. [09 Oct 1990, p.C5]

Janet Maslin

As directed by Dwight H. Little, Marked for Death lacks much visual interest or suspense. Read full review

Richard Harrington

Between the gang's patois and Seagal's soft speaking, Marked for Death almost begs for subtitles; the breaking of bones, however, comes through loud and clear. Read full review

Staff (Not Credited)

An ugly movie, with lousy wardrobe to match. Read full review

Great action movie for the times. Seagal was one of the staples next to Van Damme

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.… Expand

Good action film but I'm giving Marked For Death a 1 rating on the fact I'm sure it's racist film towards Jamaican's. Marked for Death portrays all Jamaican's as spliff smoking, druggies and black men carrying around guns and doing voodoo magic... Completely crap film with an element ofGood action film but I'm giving Marked For Death a 1 rating on the fact I'm sure it's racist film towards Jamaican's.

Completely crap film with an element of racism but don't worry, Steven Seagal eliminates all the black guys by kicking their butts as usual... Bravo you idiot! Avoid this crap and stupid film… Expand
