- 匚卂尺ㄥMarch 4, 2025Many people see "Jean-Claude Van Damme" in the lead and you think this another stupid, no-brainer action flick and guess what? It is! BUT, it is also a very entertaining film, kind of ripoff of the old "Most Dangerous Game" storyline....and, if you can suspend belief for 90-100 minutes, you'll be vastly entertained....and that's the name of the game, folks. Some of the action scenes are outrageous and big-time "Rambo" mentality, meaning an entire arsenal that could wipe out a small country is used against our hero and never seems to kill him! People are being shot in the streets but no is ever around in the middle of the day but the killers and victims? Usually that stuff annoys me, but I didn't seem to mind in this movie. In fact, it fits. Despite the lack of credibility, Van Dame standing on top of a speeding motorcycle as it heads towards an onrushing car, and later dodging all kinds of pretty neat weapons as he tries to help Yancy Butler, is just fun. John Wood-directed films tend to be ridiculously exaggerated and loud, so that's what you get. I am not a fan of many of his films, but I am of this one. It's pure macho madness with a Lance Henriksen doing what he does best: be an incredibly-nasty and brutal villain. An added bonus in here - a real hoot - is old man Wilfred Brimley as Van Damme's French uncle who comes to his nephew's aid. Add a great blues soundtrack and you have a great film to feed your male hormones with when needing to be fed some gratuitous violence. Final Verdict: Call It What You Will, But It IS Entertaining!
- stuhannafordApril 25, 2025It is what it is. Enjoy an 80’s style, action movie, this early 90’s entry will do the job. Van Damme fan? It’s around about a middling effort. Love a first class mullet? Bingo!
