Of all the action stars of the 80s and 90s who have since fallen on hard times, Van Damme has emerged with his reputation largely intact. Sure, there have been some bad ones ('Derailed', 'The Hard Corps.') but there have been some pretty good ones too ('From Hell', 'Wake of Death') and this is one of them. Unlike Snipes or Seagal you don't feel like your being ripped-off while your watching it: it's well acted and written and - most importantly - feels like a real film. Recommended.
I am big Van Damme fan but this was awful, I watched all of it and not 1 kick or ahhhhh or punch, nothing. just guns and a bad script.
We want you back Mr Damme, quality kicks and cheesy-ness galore, please make the next one better!
