TOP MOVIE !!!
By a customer from GLASGOW , 21 Apr 2006[Highly rated reviewer]
Maximum Risk is an extremely violent movie with a very high body count. I lost track of the dead early on. While the plot is as thin as always (Russian mafia, twin brother, beautiful girl), Ringo Lam pumps it up with some nifty car chases (if you like that sort of thing) and provides the viewer with one heck of a ride as we step over the bodies. This is non-stop action from the get-go, and the fight scenes (yes, there are many) are hard-hitting and brutal, yet believable (almost a first).
For those that like Van Damme, this movie should be high on your list. For the rest of us, well, it is violent and even mean-spirited, but I ended up enjoying the ride, and the credit must go to director Lam.- Was this review helpful to you?

(12)Surprisingly good
By jonny (210 reviews) from Norwich , 13 May 2012Amazingly, for a John Claude Van Damme vehicle, surprisingly good. Good action thriller, Van Damme aquits himself well, good direction, good cast, even a reasonable script of sorts. Natasha Henstridge shines as usual.- Was this review helpful to you?

A great action movie!
By a customer from Tewkesbury , 11 Aug 2009Now he's no Bruce Willis or Brad Pitt, there are no major multi-million budgets for these movies. But i've gotta say, this one came out a treat!
Yep, Van Damme certainly does stick to a familiar genre and some almost carbon-copied story lines. But that shouldn't affect anyone's opinions of this movie. If you feel the need to be satisfied by another side of Van Damme, watch JCVD.
Ringo Lam directed some fantastic action scene's, the opening scene was brilliant.
There are parts of the movie that make you think of a GTA game and Eastern Promises (with all the Russian Mafia involvement).
It doesn't hang about or drag, I enjoyed it right to the end! I would recommend it any action movie fan.- Was this review helpful to you?
