...a meandering, erratically-paced misfire that doesn’t contain a whole lot worth embracing or getting excited about... Go to Full Review Michael Dequina TheMovieReport.com 01/03/2009

You've seen it before, so why bother seeing Jean-Claude Van Damme go through the paces in this straight-to-tape howler? Go to Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily 10/15/2005

Oscar-winning director John Avildsen wisely removed his name in favor of a pseudonym on this forgettable direct-to-video Van Damme vehicle. Go to Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com 06/18/2005

thiago s @Thiagostone Mar 15 Filme ruim, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são ruins, depois de 1 hora, o filme deu uma leve alavancada mas não foi o suficiente para ser bom, a história é ruim, com tudo isso, nem mesmo o próprio Jean Claude Van Damme como protagonista para salvar esse filme, e Eu não recomendo esse filme. See more Derek C 06/27/2024 Underrated. Great cast. Simple story. Humorous and action packed. Classic 90s action movie. See more Shival K 01/24/2024 Love JCVD but this isn't it, prob the worst movie of his of all time, if I could press rewind and go back I would call the streaming service and tell them take this garbage off the platform. Negative -20/10 See more 11/01/2021 Even though RT rated it extremely low, I thought it was quite a funny type of gore. See more 12/08/2020 Worst movie I've ever seen. Directed by John G. Avildsen. See more Steve D 07/05/2020 JCVD is given little to work with in this sleepy thriller. See more Read all reviews
