Certainly one of Van Damme's better movies

Rating: 7/10 (31 May 2004)

I normally agree with IMDB ratings, but this is an exception - it's definitely under-rated. Yes the story is a bit cheesy, but thats not the reason you watch something like this. Van Damme at least attempts to add a bit of depth and humility to his character rather than just playing the invincible Steven Segal type. It all moves along at a good pace as well, with several good fight scenes, the climatic fight is superb. The perfect Saturday night with mates films - you'll find it hard not to cheer Van Damme on.
One thing I will say against it however is the soundtrack is absolutely awful. The very worst kind of 80's synth - so bad it's embarrassing.
