Product: Legionnaire [VHS]
Rating: 4.0
Jean-Claude goes epic/historical
I heard the reason why this one didn't get a theater releases was because Van-Damme's previous ;"Knock-Off" was a dud. "Legionnaire" is definitely one of his best. The movie has a great story that is very beautifully shot, with action sequences that are reminiscent of "Glory" and "The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles" The supporting cast also lends great acting and overall this movie must not be overlooked. This aint your usual "kick-butt" Van-Damme film , but very much better. Give this film a chance and you'll see why it deserves a theatre first audience. Also the DVD is well done with animated menus and tons of historical footage and documentaties about the Foriegn Legion.
