User Reviews

Not the best Rutger Hauer movie but watchable

I'm a fan of Rutger Hauer, The Hitcher was one of his best action thrillers and Blind Fury is a fun 80's action flick. I found Beyond Justice under the title of Desert Law, this film isn't one of Rutger Hauer's best action movies but it is entertaining in parts. The film does have some nice shots of the desert, Beyond Justice (Desert Law) has some great mindless action. The main characters just keep shooting these characters and hardly get shot themselves, the acting in Beyond Justice is okay Rutger Hauer does a great performance. One problem with Beyond Justice is that the film does tend to drag at parts, the film did have some annoying characters like the son. He seems to be overly happy in parts, the wife can sometimes be irritating since she goes with them on the mission and doesn't really help them.

Beyond Justice (Desert Law) isn't the greatest action movie but it is entertaining in some parts and watchable, fans of Rutger Hauer and mindless action flicks may want to check this one out.
