Editorial Reviews:

When a kickboxing police inspector is murdered, his kickboxing twin brother infiltrates the Russian mob in order to see justice meted out--as painfully as possible. A slimmed-down Jean-Claude Van Damme is surprisingly effective as the lead(s), but the real star here is gritty Hong Kong director Ringo Lam (probably best known for City on Fire, the film that inspired Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs), who makes a lethal American debut with this hard-edged, convoluted film, which uses the identical-sibling gimmick to considerably darker effect than the goofball Double Impact. Some incredible stunt work and a terrifically ruthless final reel make this underrated action film a winner, although fans of Species may be somewhat disappointed that costar Natasha Henstridge never fully displays the assets that made her famous. --Andrew Wright

Summary: good film, bad dvd
Comment: This is a very good van damme action film. Too bad its only out in a full frame version now. Maybe the widescreen version will appear again in the future.

Summary: Beware! Only lousy full-screen Version!
Comment: Unfortunately, when ordering this item you will receive only a full-sreen version (aspect ratio 1.33:1)! There is no widesreen version on the disk as promised in the product details. Also, the Disc has not the black-and-white cover shown above but the dark orange-brown cover shown in the customer images.

Summary: Maximum Risk - pas en français
Comment: Pour ceux qui serait intéresser par ce film, veuillez prendre note qu'on indique à l'endos du boîtier dans le menu language que le film est en anglais, espagnol et français.

Il y une erreur car le film est en anglais et espagnol seulement. Le français n'est pas disponible seulement en sous-titres.

Summary: One of JCVD's best movies!!!
Comment: This was a great flick that had action from start to finsh! If you like a lot of shootouts, car crashes, and SUPER HOT women like Natasha Henstridge then you will love this movie. The director Ringo Lam (from Replicant) does a great job with all the camera angles. The best angles were when JCVD does his shooting and the stunts were amazing. This is plain and simply a great movie.
