Jean-Claude Van Damme is always consistent. Whatever the storyline, he'll perform the same specific kick-boxing moves and at some stage bare his super-toned chest. So it's no surprise that this tired action thriller incorporates both these trademarks, along with all the requisite chase sequences and explosions that similarly litter his films. The star also co-wrote the screenplay, in which he plays an artefacts thief who gets embroiled with a religious cult in Israel after the kidnap of his archaeologist father. It's tedious hokum, strewn with one-liners, but die-hard fans will no doubt lap it up, even if the “Muscles from Brussels” is not quite the visual dynamo he once was.

Getting old and tired?
I think that Van Damme has run out of ideas - while no-one really expects cheapo action films to make much sense but just provide good entertainment, this film ... more
