David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...admittedly, one can't help but admire the duel that ends with Van Damme gouging out his opponent's eyes. Rated: 1.5/4 May 30, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Philippe L Start very slowly and boring but the second half kinda save it. I almost turned it off until something happened a little bit halfway through the movie and the action start to be better. Not the best in anyway but I did kinda like the second half Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 06/15/24 Full Review Stephen S It could have been interesting but it really stinks. Julie Cox had a terrible character to play and played it terribly. What a waste of time. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The best time anyone might have ever had with this movie is when they were Blockbuster and Chilling with it. A movie that is inspired in style by the movies and tv shows of it's era such as The Bourne movies and 24, zoom in and outs a lack of steady cams and a much more quicker editing. Sadly this style is poorly implemented and doesn't goes well with the type of action star JCVD is, he is better as a Martial Artist or cop who constantly is fighting, when you put it behind a radio to give instructions it looses all of his charm. It's like trying to make Madonna sing the National Anthem type of miscasting. Interesting just to see how JCVD movie career evolved. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review steve d Exciting JCVD film that won't win any converts but will please us fans. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member An acceptable Van Damme Action flick that may not stand up to repeat viewings. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member A poorly-made, tedious, stupid version of Argo. There's really no reason to watch this unless you're a Van Damme completist. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
