'Ultimate Justice' is one of those bittersweet times. I didn't expect the world from it, but Mark Dacascos had some fun dtv titles in his past. It also allowed me to see Landwehr, Hues and Möller together after the recent lackluster 'Last Kumite'. Obviously a low budget affair this still manages to produce some decent action sequences including at the beginning. It's rather unfortunate the downward spiral the story goes into that sinks the whole thing. I can't overstate how bad the ending is here guys.
A leading private military firm which operates in Europe lead by Gus (Dacascos) are sent in to rescue a hostage, but lose team members in the process. Disillusioned Gus sells the firm he co-founded with Hans (Wolfgang Riehm) off. At a party the two enjoy drinks and company of some attractive females particularly Michaela (Sandra Tauro). Eight years pass and Hans ended up marrying her and having a kid. Then his house is broken into and his wife murdered, daughter kidnapped. Now Hans reenlists his friend for help getting her back and finding out who attacked him and why.
Most of the members are given little character moments when they're sought out to reform the team. The hand to hand fights are nicely choreographed, but the same can't be said for a lone car chase which lacks skill in filming, editing. The shooting is also mired by obvious CGI and poor dubbing of it's foreign cast does the flick no favors. You can see for every good element there's one that lets it down. I enjoyed the majority of 'Ultimate Justice' even with a few missteps along the way. However a ridiculous reveal at the end comes really close to unraveling any fun that came before it.
