Double Impact Ratings & Reviews
- JeremiahDecember 13, 2025Double the Damme, double the fun. One of his best, with the amount of cheese that just feels right. JCVD brings the charisma in spades and does a decent job of creating two distinctive characters despite his limited acting abilities. Great action with a lot of variety. An epic showdown fight with Bolo is amazing. The slo-mo, thankfully being real slo-mo and not the fake choppy stuff, looks fantastic with the punches and kicks landing. Overall this flick is stylish with its look and feel and a good time in a 80/90s action bmovie kinda way. And while like most JVCD flicks, it’s fun to laugh at, at times, this one also kicks a lotta ass. The double JCVD worked so well for this flick they tried the gimmick in like 3 other movies.
