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.

Not only was he a 'bad boy', it was a very bad film.

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

Van Damme plays two very different roles and it comes together in a great movie.

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
