Every self-respecting action movie fan is familiar with the films of Steven Seagal - one of the icons of martial arts. The exact date of the release of the film "Above the Law 2" in Russia is not yet known, there is no trailer yet, but there is Sigal among the actors, which means that the plot will be aimed at saving civilians from bandits. The first part was released back in 1988, what will happen in the second, let's try to figure it out: a remake, a sequel, a prequel? One thing is clear - it will be interesting to see. Stephen himself produced the film.
Expectations rating - 93%.
Plot
The first part told about a police officer from Chicago Niko, who single-handedly confronted the whole mafia, in whose ranks even CIA officers were noticed. In "Above the Law 2" the hero will return, but with a new goal.

Segal's fans could have found out that "Above the Law" will receive a sequel back in 2016, when Stephen informed everyone about the return of his hero Niko in his microblog twitter:

Interesting Facts
Few facts about the project:
- The budget of the first part of "Above the Law" was $ 7 million, which by the standards of the late 1980s is quite a lot, given the plot and location of the production process. In the states, the film grossed $ 18 million.
- Steamroller Productions is owned by Steven Seagal himself and is constantly involved in the production of films with his participation.
I would like to know more about the plot and see the trailer for the film "Above the Law 2" while we are waiting for the exact release date in Russia, but many of Segal's actors are already enough. In principle, Segal never sat idle, he is almost every year busy in some project as an actor or as a producer. Another thing is interesting: why did he decide to return to the hero Niko after a huge number of years, and the remake of the film "Capture" is not far!
