    Rated - 3 stars [Highly rated reviewer]

    Bizarre!

    A bit of an odd one, this. It starts off pretty much like what I imagine most Van Damme films are like - fighting, shooting and what-not. Then it all goes weird as the man himself tries to win a custody hearing and then gets caught up in a Post Office heist. Which wouldn't be too bad if we didn't have to put up with dodgy subtitles and a ten minute monologue to the camera, that pretty much ruins everything. There's a nice moment towards the end when what would have happened in the movies rewinds to show what happens in real life, but frankly by that point who really cares. Not technically a 3 star movie but better than a 2 star.
