Viewing Notes

Goofy and fun at times, but certainly not my favorite Van Damme movie by a long shot. The digital compositing doesn’t really stand the test of time either, but that didn’t bug me much.

Early ‘90s action movies often feel like a hungover extension of the ‘80s: kind of lost and without a solid identity of their own stylistically.
