Extreme Justice is a 1993 American crime action thriller film directed by Mark L. Lester and starring Lou Diamond Phillips, Scott Glenn, and Chelsea Field.

Upon hearing of his probation, a friend from the force later invites Jeff to join the Special Investigation Section, an elite and highly secretive Los Angeles Police Department(LAPD) unit designed to track and shut down high-profile criminals.

Jeff questions the purpose of the squad and begins to see them as more of a harm to society than a positive force for justice.

Lester said the film was based on real incidents saying the police "would wait around until after a crime had been committed, and wouldn't arrest people til later.

Lester said he made the film with deliberately ambiguous leads "so some people can watch it and say 'they're doing a really good thing' while others can say 'they're really not.
