Jean-Claude Van Damme, Joss Ackland, Kieran Culkin

Poor Rosanna Arquette ended up in this Van Damme potboiler about an escaped convict who moves onto the farm of a widow (Arquette) and her two kids. Stuff happens: a cop who likes her gets jealous and ...( read more  read more... )beats up the Muscles from Brussels (but only after handcuffing him), there's a fire in the barn, bad guys are trying to drive her away, etc. The story was first developed by screenwriter Joe Eszterhas (Basic Instinct) and the late director Richard Marquand (Eye of the Needle). Eszterhas wrote the script, but who knows what direction this story was originally going? Van Damme's best film is still Timecop, and this is a long way from the quality of that. --Tom Keogh

    More of the usual bone-headed action fare from JCVD. Not his worst effort, and Roseanna Arquette is appealing, but it's all so very "so what?"

    Yes! Is this the one where he peeps at her breasts? I hope so

    This movie has a ton of heart, so don't prejudge it. The end is actually rather emotional, and the cast performances are a pleasant surprise.
  • August 28, 2009
    oddly enough, one of JCVD's better acting jobs (not saying much I know but...)
  • August 19, 2009
    really quite good actioner with van damme playing a convict on the run who befreinds a family in a rural area under threat of eviction. Its got a good plot and some really good action that makes this a jean claude van damme fine movie

    One of Van Damme's best.
