Viewing Notes
For my JCVD project… thought for sure I had seen this (it’s over 20 years old!) but going in I wasn’t sure. But when Robert Guillaume shows up it started coming back. It’s probably been since I was in college when I last saw this. Wow.
Decent JCVD actioner w/the undercover cop goes into prison to investigate crime from the inside trope. It was more interesting to note the supporting cast including Al Leong! Also watching this film from this time period is interesting b/c this was when JCVD was really at the height of his popularity.
