Critic Reviews

  • Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily

    If you're a sucker for prison movies like I am, you might just enjoy this surprisingly decent direct-to-DVD Van Damme title.

  • Scott Weinberg, eFilmCritic.com

    As long as movies are not required to play theatrically before hitting the DVD shelves, we'll have plenty of new Van Damme flicks to make fun of.

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    Why do filmmakers keep making the same movies again and again? Don't they think people notice?

  • John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis

    ...another bloody, run-of-the-mill action yawner.

  • Clint Morris, Moviehole

    A slipshod, boring, foreign production... There's little story, some woeful dialogue, and not even the production values are deserving of praise

    Hell of fight scenes and Van Damme's the best by fighting his way out of prison in this brutal thriller.

  • Marcus W


    What is it about prison movies that bring out the best in a writer? This manages to be slightly better than "JCVD goes to prison and fights for his life". Granted, it's not Fellini, but what do you expect?

  • Barry L


    Actually a great film and well acted by all
