Hard Justice

Hard Justice is a small independent movie from "Nu Image", a production company well known for their low budget action movies, most of them are good, just like Hard Justice. The first scene is a tribute/reference to the John Woo's movie Hard Boiled, we have a shootout in a garage/warehouse and the main character, Nick Adams (David Bradley) is dressed like Chow Yun-Fat in that scene in Hard Boiled. Speaking of John Woo, Hard Justice is better than any movie that John Woo made in the USA. Most of the action is based on martial arts fights, David Bradley shows good skills in martial arts, i liked him in American Samurai, American Ninja 3 and Cyborg Cop II. The final battle scene is spectacular, Hard Justice makes a good use of it's budget.

David Bradley is on a lower level than Seagal or Van Damme. Just like Sasha Mitchell, Michael Dudikoff and Mike Norris. He's not too bad an actor, but he can't make it to the big leagues. "Hard Justice" is without a doubt David Bradley's best movie. The plot is: Nick Adams (Bradley) goes undercover in a prison to root out his best friend's killer. He realizes that not only is the prison corrupt, his arch enemy Jimmy Wong is back to even the score. The plot is basically a rip-off of the Van Damme movie "Death Warrant", but it makes up for that in the action sequences. The opening is fantastic, with almost non-stop action. The climax is also well-executed. But the middle, where Adams is in the prison does lag a little. Charles Napier is great as the evil warden. The fight choreography does show off Bradley's martial arts ability, thankfully the filmmakers didn't over-edit the scenes. Overall, this is the Bradley movie to see.

Hard Justice is a typical B-Movie ( NU IMAGE ). On the one hand we have non-stop bloody action scenes, on the other hand a 08/15 storyline. The movie is about a cop, who is sent to prison, certainly undercover, to take out a gang of drug and weapon dealers. In the end nearly the whole prison goes to hell. Many prisoners escape and are mostly shot down by the anti-terror-teams awaiting them, while D. Bradley fights with the head of the dealers on a driving bus. Hard Justice isn't a bad movie. If you only want some action and not a detailed plot, this is the right movie for you.
