    a so-so action film, set at an ice hockey game. A bit like Snake eyes but with a hostage situatuion. Doesn't pack a punch like some of his other films.

    I've seen just about all of Van Damme's movies and I have to say that I think "Sudden Death" is the best one so far. It's not your typical Van Damme movie when you compare it to most of his others. Most of his movies are mainly just fights throughout most of the film, which is al...( read more)ways awesome. But I think it's even better when a fighting movie such as "Sudden Death" has more of a plot to it.
    Someone kidnaps his daughter and is holding her and the Vice President captive. The man holding them hostage wants a lot of money or he will blow up the whole hockey arena. Van Damme must find a way to get his daughter back while saving everybody else in the arena.

    "Sudden Death" is what all the other Van Damme movies isn't. It has a major storyline to it, great special effects, and even a few funny parts such as when Van Damme has to be a real goalie in the game to keep the badmen from finding him. If you're a Van Damme fan or if you like great action movies, "Sudden Death" is definitely for you. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. I've always loved Van Damme movies and have seen nearly all of his, and this is definitely one of my absolute favorites from his library.

    Pretty decent and has Die Hard feel to it. Probably Van Damme best action flick.

    I turned on the television this afternoon, and I'll be Goddamned if I didn't find myself watching Sudden Death just because it was coming on and was easy to chill with.

    It was every bit as silly as I remembered it, with the crazy climax involving a helicopter still making me lau...( read more)gh a little, but it wasn't enough to really say that you should give it another look unless you're just a die hard fan.

    I think what threw me was that no effort was made to explain Van Damme's martial arts prowess, he was just a fireman who could beat your ass for no apparent reason.

    At least say that he's a former Navy Seal or something, that's all I'm saying....

    Rental? Maybe?

    So bad, it's good! JCVD plays a fire marshall who is trying to disarm bombs that terrorists have set while holding the Vice President and mayor hostage under a hockey arena. Every period, the evil terrorist villian blows something up and shoots somebody. It is so retarded. JC...( read more)VD lights a guy on fire with a super soaker, uses really hokey tag lines, and saves the world all while a hockey game is playing!
