Critic Reviews

  • Michael Dequina, TheMovieReport.com

    You've seen it before, so why bother seeing Jean-Claude Van Damme go through the paces in this straight-to-tape howler?

  • Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily

    Oscar-winning director John Avildsen wisely removed his name in favor of a pseudonym on this forgettable direct-to-video Van Damme vehicle.

  • Ryan Cracknell, Apollo Guide

    Doused by a mediocre plot and poor plot escapes.

    This Van Damme dud almost warranted a "so bad it's good review," but then I realized it was just really, really bad. All this from the director of ROCKY no less?

    Jean-Claude Van Damme's desert action is fine as the loner willing to call it a day when he is attacked by a biker gang. He finds a new reason for living when he vows to get even.
