"I will break you, then re-make you!"
Definitely a good movie, Legionnaire, brings to the screen the story of a French boxer, who refuses to take part in a rigged match resulting in his joining the Foreign Legion.It is the 1920's. France's North African colonies are experiencing Arab national revolutions and the French Foreign Legion is looking for new recruits in Europe as they sense their hold is weakening.The movie is action packed, the special effects are great, the acting is excellent and the cast are wonderful.Jean-Claude Van Damme, Steven Berkoff, Nicholas Farrell, and the rest of the cast have truly outdone themselves with their performances, which are outstanding to say the least! All the actors, without exceptions, give it their 100% and it really shows (the chemistry is AMAZING)! Consequently, they have done a superb job of providing an entertaining film that can be watched over and over again.There is a wonderful feel of History; the clash between the French and Arabs is as fascinating as the interaction between the different nationalities found within the Legion, and both are presented very well in the film.History, Battles, Intrigue, Duty, and Honor are all about.The setting, the plot, the dialogues, the costumes, and the music are all wonderful!The film combines romance, drama, action and adventure making it a movie definitely worth watching and one to seriously consider adding to your movie collection!
