Above the Law

“He's a cop who believes no one is above the law.”

Nico Toscani (Steven Seagal) is an Italian immigrant, a former CIA agent and an aikido specialist who now works as a Chicago cop with his own idea of justice. A routine drug seizure turns up a shipment of military explosives, and he starts asking where they came from. Andrew Davis, directing Seagal's first film, has Nico ready to break an arm when the answers come slowly.
