    [Highly rated reviewer]

    Like John Woo and Ringo Lam before him, noted Hong Kong action director Tsui Hark made his American filmmaking debut with a thriller starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. For this film, Hark also had the privilege of guiding basketball star Dennis Rodman through his first dramatic role. American anti-terrorist agent Jack Quinn (Van Damme) has retired from duty, content to stay with his pregnant wife at his seaside hideaway. However, the CIA lure him back into duty for one last mission: wiping out crazed international terrorist Stavros (Mickey Rourke). Quinn flies to Antwerp to ambush Stavros, but his plan fails; Quinn is captured and imprisoned in 'The Colony,' a prison camp for spies 'too valuable to kill and too dangerous to set free.' To further torture Quinn, Stavros kidnaps Quinn's wife; after she gives birth to their son, Stavros keeps him captive, surrounded by land mines and wild animals. Quinn escapes and makes plans to rescue his wife and child, but he can't do it alone, so he seeks the help of Yaz (Rodman), a top-level underground arms merchant with a tendency towards flamboyant body modification. Rodman also appears with R&B vocalist Crystal Waters on the song 'Just a Freak' which appears on the film's soundtrack.

    This is action done perfectly.

    Cheesy acting, a terrible sidekick, Muscles from Brussels, Mickey Rourke, and a TIGER!... AND LANDMINES!!! and disguises and parachuting and explosions and slow-mo....

    If you like your b-movie actioners, I couldn't recommend this more....

    Typical Van Damme action film, he is not going to win any Oscars but there is enough pace to keep you entertained

  • Well done Van Damme

    Rated - 4.0 stars

    In my opinion, this film is pretty good, but not Van Dammes best.

    However, the action genre is well represented in this title. Personally, I enjoyed watching this film but do think that more could of been done with what seemed to be an excellent story line.

    Dennis Rodmans' acting skills leave little to be desired.
