Jean-Claude van Damme has pleasantly matured, moving away from Dudikoff-type of acting, showing more emotions than anger and revenge. He has become more dramatic and serious, not just using martial arts and strong language in possible and impossible occasions. Of course, the real star in this film is Stephen Rea - but he is an Academy Award nominee after all.
The plot is also above average, clichés and product placement seem to be inevitable in such movies, but there are several turns and unexpected moments. The number of supporting characters is, for some reason or other, rather big and most of them do not provide additional value or meaning.
Recommended to all fond of good and compressed action - the movie is around 1,5 hours.
