Urban Justice is a 2007 action-thriller movie directed by Don E. Fauntleroy and produced by Steven Seagal, who also stars in the film. The movie is set in the tough streets of Los Angeles, where gangs rule and the police are powerless against them. The story revolves around Simon Ballister (Steven Seagal), a former CIA agent who returns to his hometown after his son is brutally murdered by a gang. Ballister is determined to find the killers and bring them to justice.

The movie starts with a violent scene in which a gang attacks a young man named Max Ballister (Cory Hart) and kills him in front of his father Simon Ballister (Steven Seagal). Max is an innocent bystander who gets caught in the crossfire of a gang war. He is just a college student who is trying to make a difference in his community. The killing of his son shakes Simon to the core and he throws himself into the investigation of Max's murder.

Simon starts his quest for revenge by visiting Max's girlfriend and learning more about his son's life. He quickly realizes that Max was a good kid who was trying to help others, and that his death was a senseless act of violence. Simon starts to gather information about the gang that killed Max, and enlists the help of his old friend and fellow CIA agent, Frank (Eddie Griffin).

As Simon begins to dig deeper into the case, he discovers that the gang responsible for Max's death is not just any ordinary gang. They are a group of highly organized criminals who have infiltrated the police department and are using their power to protect their criminal activities. The gang has a code of silence that no one dares to break, and they will stop at nothing to keep their secrets safe.

Simon's investigation leads him down a dangerous path that puts his life in danger. He gets into multiple fights with the gang members and their allies, but his training and experience allow him to fight back and stay alive. Frank, who is Simon's only ally in the investigation, is a fun-loving and sarcastic character who provides some comic relief in the movie.

Throughout the film, Simon struggles with the guilt of not being there for his son when he needed him the most. He tries to make up for his absence by avenging his son's death, but he soon realizes that revenge is not the answer. The movie explores the themes of justice, redemption, and paternal love in a gritty and violent setting.

The action scenes in Urban Justice are intense and well-choreographed. Steven Seagal, who is known for his martial arts skills, performs most of his own stunts in the movie. The fight scenes are fast-paced and brutal, and there are plenty of explosions and gunfire to keep action fans entertained.

Overall, Urban Justice is a solid action-thriller movie that showcases Steven Seagal's talents as a martial artist and actor. The movie has an engaging story, well-developed characters, and enough action and suspense to keep viewers on the edge of their seats. If you are a fan of gritty crime dramas with a touch of vigilante justice, then Urban Justice is definitely worth a watch.
