Summary: Enjoyable Van Damme Flick
Comment: I enjoyed this movie. Van Damme has some very good moves and its always fun to watch him.

The movies are always a bit cheesy (i.e., the Mexican General in this case) but this is what we want from JCVD and I wish that there's lots more to come!

Summary: GOOD ACTION
Comment: An older Jean-Claude shows that he still has it. This is the first Van Damme film I have seen in quite some time. I have several in my private collection. Time Cop is my favorite. While some of his signature moves are no more (particularly the Van Damme split), he still can mix it up with the youngsters, who are given a nice amount of face time. We also don't see the Van Damme "I'm cute and I know it" look that was in every Van Damme film when he was young and, okay...cute. This is a much more mature Van Damme and I am glad to see that he has moved to roles that fit that maturity. Don't get me wrong, this is not Shakespeare. The plot and story are thin and the acting and dialogue are passable. However, it is a good action flick with enough going on to keep you interested. If you don't expect any more than that, you will not be disappointed.

Summary: You are getting there, JCVD, keep at it!!
Comment: Van Damme is a martial artist...I needed to see him again at it, kicking, fighting, and at last; after the AWFUL Hard Corps, and the good movie- no fighting- Until Death; he's back!!! And against Adkins, no less!!

The story is not that bad, the acting is not that bad...some things are not exactly great,but, Van Damme is back!

Summary: Van Damme versus Scott Adkins!
Comment: This is an amazing movie! The final fight scene between Van Damme and a younger Scott Adkins alone makes this a true classic! Van Damme has really improved as an actor. He changes his appearance and attitude in each of his latest movies. This is a five star movie!
Van Damme at his best!

Summary: Dirty cops, dirty border and dirty drugs
Comment: I like bunny rabbits too. It doesn't seem like a tough guy's pet?
Sort of a twist on a boy named Sue.
The idea of an armored car full of drugs with nuns as a cover
is pretty much that kind of thing you expect.
Here in San Diego we have off road / dune buggies and the drugs
came across with mules and even tunnels.
The cops in Mexico are almost as poor as the people
and there is a tradition of selling out, it seems.
But having trouble seems to be what a border is about?
It actually seems like both sides are on the take?
We don't seem to have heroes, just more people
than are legal...
