“Beyond The Law” (** out of four) was a murky underworld cop melodrama about a former hitman turned legit businessman (Steven Seagal) who has to team up with a hard-nosed cop (DMX) to deal with a vengeful ex-cop (Johnny Messner) out to find the killer of his son. Fast-paced enough to make it an OK view but features too many characters, too many subplots, and too much you’ve seen in other movies. Still, you have to give it credit in that this is better than the last Seagal/DMX collaboration “Exit Wounds.” Speaking of which- when the hell did Seagal start speaking in a Southern accent?
