    Van Damme is a playboy living in Paris in the 1920's. He falls in love with the mistress of a mob boss, and when the boss finds out, joins the French Foreign Legion to hide out. Years later, after honing his fighting skills, he returns to battle the boss and reclaim his true love.

    I found this film as all of Van Damme's films well over the top, and sometimes rather cheesy..

    However I do enjoy SOME of his films, and I cetainly enjoyed this one...

  • Lovely stuff

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By thegrimphantasmfear from London , 30 Mar 2004
    I think this is a terrific little movie, scandalously over-looked by the Academy (though since when did the Oscars actually reward quality?).

    I loved the way the director was able to evoke the sights and sounds of the desert, some of the time I almost felt like I could feel the sand between my toes and the sun on my back! But Legionnaire is much, much more than this: the relationship between Jean-Claude and his Legion buddies was really inspiring.

    I don't want to spoil it for anybody but I'm not ashamed to say that I cried like a baby at the end; tears of sadness, tears of joy. How many movies can touch you like that?
