We near the end of Steven Seagal July with one of Seagal's earlier works, which is code for "it might be good": Marked for Death. Once again starring the Corn Dog Master himself, he plays John Hatcher, a retired DEA agent who returns to Chicago only to find the town being overrun by Jamaican posses dealing hard drugs. It's essentially some of the best parts of the Dirty Harry franchise with that unmistakable odor of Seagal. The One Season Show's Jess Byard joins Chris once again to talk about more about Seagal's acting, the film's brutality, and whether it's a true action "classic."
