Entertainment Reviews:
Above the Law has enough off-beat updates on the cops-and-robbers theme to at least make the film visually interesting most of the time.

above-average, and much better than Seagal's later efforts

...the overstuffed narrative contributes heavily to the movie's eventual downfall...

Reel Film Reviews
...Robert Steadman's eye for capturing all of the action without crowding the picture is well executed...
Variety
...Davis packs it with excitingly grimy Chicago atmosphere, and the actors, Seagal included, give it a terse, hard-bitten energy...
Los Angeles Times
Woefully short on originality, intelligibility and anything resembling taste.

It might be arguable whether it is the best Seagal film or not, but Nico still has all important Seagal trademarks.

Product Description:
Probably the best of Steven Seagal's three-word-titled action films from the 1990s was his debut, ABOVE THE LAW. Seagal plays Nico, a tough cop who pulls off the biggest drug bust of his career, only to have the FBI throw a wrench in it: why are they protecting one of the country's biggest drug lords, and what does it have to do with Nico's covert work in Vietnam' As his temper explodes all over Chicago, Nico's sixth-degree black belt in aikido proves helpful in his search for answers. Blaxploitation icon Pam Grier plays Nico's partner, Jax.
