Dấu Ấn Tử Thần Marked For Death (1990)

Dwight H. Little's 1990 action classic, 'Marked For Death,' stands as a definitive entry in Steven Seagal's cinematic oeuvre, transcending mere genre tropes to establish a benchmark for vigilante justice films. Rather than a convoluted narrative, the film masterfully showcases Seagal's signature Aikido-based combat, delivering bone-crunching, visceral action sequences that possess undeniable impact and authenticity.

Little's precise direction complements Seagal's stoic intensity as John Hatcher, an ex-DEA agent embroiled in a brutal conflict with Jamaican drug lords. A pivotal element is Basil Wallace's iconic portrayal of the menacing Screwface, a genuinely terrifying antagonist whose presence elevates the film’s thematic resonance, blending urban crime with unsettling elements of voodoo folklore. Keith David provides robust support, anchoring the emotional stakes.

This film firmly positioned Seagal as a quintessential action hero driven by a personal code, resonating with audiences who craved direct, uncompromising confrontation with evil. It remains a cult classic, a vital piece of 90s action cinema that solidified Seagal's legacy as a martial arts icon.
