Maitland McDonagh TV Guide The action sequences are well staged and credit where credit is due: The 40-year-old martial artist still has the physical goods, executing 180 splits and gymnastic stunts with the grace and apparent ease of someone much younger. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 2, 2008 Full Review Chuck O'Leary Fantastica Daily Rated: 2/5 Oct 9, 2005 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Aug 14, 2005 Full Review Caffeinated Clint Film Threat Rated: 3/5 May 6, 2005 Full Review Scott Weinberg eFilmCritic.com Slightly less awful than most of Van Damme's efforts. Rated: 2/5 Apr 3, 2005 Full Review Fred Topel About.com Low budget and low thought exploration of promising idea Rated: 0/5 Sep 16, 2004 Full Review Read all reviews

Laurie S Not only was he a 'bad boy', it was a very bad film. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 07/17/23 Full Review adam b An unusual strong performance for Van Damm, I would say if the premise doesn't at least interest you, watch it for his performance alone. Recommended for action fans Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review steve d The action is cool and JCVD gives one of his best performances. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Van Damme plays two very different roles and it comes together in a great movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member Another classic Jean Claude entry. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member My 3rd fav Jean-Claude Van Damme film behind Bloodsport & Kickboxer. The tagline to this film is spot on. Michael Rooker's character has to work with a guy who looks practically identical to his own worst enemy, If that's not compelling... I don't know what is. So critics how is this bad? Because this is far more superior to Citizen Kane, The Dark Knight Rises & The Last Jedi combined. Criminally Underrated Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/29/23 Full Review Read all reviews
