Product Description:
ALAIN MOREAU IS A FRENCH SOLDIER WHO MUST ASSUME HIS DEAD BROTHER MIKHAIL'S IDENTITY TO FIND OUT WHO HE REALLY WAS. ALAIN TRAVELS TO NEW YORK'S UNDERWORLD, IS QUICKLY MISTAKEN FOR HIS BROTHER AND ENCIRCLED BY A RUSSIAN SYNDICATE WHICH DRAWS HIM INTO CORRUPTION AND CROSSFIRE.

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

All are highlighted by a suspenseful score form Robert Folk.

This Jean-Claude Van Damme action vehicle gets good marks for sound, low profanity, some very good action scenes and some interesting characters that keep your attention. It loses marks for excessive violence, too much "Rambo" mentality (good guys don't get hit despite a barrage of bullets) and, yet, another modern-day film in which the FBI is corrupt.
Despite too much action, some of the scenes such as car chases, fires and explosions are so well-done you have to admire the great stunt work in ... Read More

This movie didn't get enough credit in my opinion. Lots of action and a good story.

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.
