In this tired reworking of Beau Geste, Jean-Claude Van Damme plays a boxer heading for Morocco to avoid some disgruntled punters in Paris. Riddled with implausibilities and acted with metronomic rigidity, it's notable for only one thing — Van Damme's isn't the worst performance on display. That honour goes to Steven Berkoff, whose extravagant posturing almost gives the film a cockeyed kudos. On the plus side, the training sequences and the battles with the Berbers are competently handled by Rambo III director Peter MacDonald, but he has little success in the scenes where his actors are required to talk. Halliwell's Film Guide An attempt to revive the spirit and style of Beau Geste, but it's too little and too late. Members ReviewsReviews Voted Most Helpful |
