John Steele comes home after a variety of oonflict, both war-related and interpersonal, during the Vietnam war. Emotional damage that doesn't really come across due to leading man Martin Kove's resting confused face has led Steele to lose his wife, his career and his sobriety. When his BFF and former Army partner, Lee, is killed by an old war-era nemesis, "Steele is Back" and unleashed on a Vietnamese crime syndicate.
A million movie tropes mash-up to create this Rambo/Commando/Die Hard combo, except with Martin Kove rather than Stallone/Schwarzenegger/Willis. Bodies by Jake. Lots of guns. A cool Gatlin gun truck. A rubber Coral snake on a fishing line.
Steele Justice final grade:
Steve calls this a fine movie, inoffensive and watchable by anyone who enjoys 80's era action. Pretty standard Reagan-era USA! USA! hero action. 3.41/5.0
Brandon says Steele Justice is a perfectly OK movie to watch. Basically the same storyline and production quality of every Stallone/Schwarzenegger/Norris movie of the 1980s. Unfortunately, Martin Kove can't carry a movie like those other guys. 3.00/5
Cocktail of the Week:
Steele Justice
1 1/2 oz Tequila
1/2 oz Light Rum
2 oz Fresh-Squeezed Grapefruit
1 oz Fresh-Squeezed Lime Juice
1 oz oz Honey Syrup
1/2 oz Egg White
Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker without ice. Dry shake a few times. Add ice and shake again. Double strain (all about that mouth feel) over ice in a rocks glass. Garnish with a grapefruit wedge.
Cocktail Grade: A great way to enjoy a grapefruit without a partner. A tasty sour that packs a little punch. One of them is good. Two are really good. 4.69/5
