      Audience Member Biehn on sentään näytellyt Terminatorissa.. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This is pretty bad, even for a B-iehn movie (I crack me up. And probably only me). But aside from a really awkward attempt at being a buddy movie with no real chemistry,the action is really plain. Biehn is good, not his great self. And I honestly didn't even notice Faye Dunaway, who I guess was in it according to Flixster was in the movie. The korean guy really shouldn't have tried. Cary is good. But the example is set right from the beginning. The set-up murder in the first scene is plain and leads you into...nothing. But did I mention Michael Biehn is in it? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member Nice little 90`s b-action film . Not bad, not great either. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member American Dragons aka double edge is one of the best buddy cop movie of the late 90's featuring a white and Asian duo. Michael Biehn gives his best performance since Terminator. But really he kind of just phones it in. His south Korean partner Park Joong-Hoon approaches his cocky acting with a smug sense of Asian kung fu superiority and always is holding back a smile. A definite must see if you love cop action movies. Also the fastforward stabbing the black lotus assassin does is epic Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Formulaic and forced sometimes, but ok story. and raw unpolished fight scenes Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Wow... I'm the first to review it. Seen it on the Croatian RTL yesterday. Feels in so many ways like a cheaper, more boring Rush Hour knock-off. It does get funny, but not sure if that was intentional (the "Admit it" scene) and the typoed "Have you see this design.." mail to "all police forces over the "police internet". It seems from some scenes that someone was a bit pretentious while shooting some scenes, which just didn't fit too well with the script in general. Then again, I'm probably being even more pretentious by writing this. Hm. All in all, there are far worse action movies around, but that doesn't make this one any better. 2.25+ Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
