Amazon.co.uk Review

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

4.0 out of 5 stars VAN DAMME ACTION ALL THE WAY, 27 Aug 2006
By stuart "s.vernon" (MIDDLESBROUGH, ENGLAND) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)   
I watched this in bed and I think it's a really good action film, one of VAN DAMME's best.
It's action all the way - explosions, gun battles and a good climax fight.

The story is: Alan Moreau's investigation into the death of his identical twin brother leads leads him from the South of France to the mean streets of New York City and into the arms of his brother's beautiful girlfriend.
Persued by ruthless Russian mobsters and renegade FBI agents, the duo must race against time to solve his brother's murder and expose an international conspiracy.
There's only one problem: all traces of his brother's life are rapidly disappearing, and the one person who knew him best may not be yelling all she knows.

I had high expectations about this film and I was not disappointed, it had all the hallmarks of a classic VAN DAMME films.
Buy this if u are looking for an all out action film or you are a VAN DAMME fan you will not be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A cut above the rest, 8 Jul 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Maximum Risk [VHS] [1997] (VHS Tape)
I agree wholeheartedly with Ian, an earlier reviewer. This is far better than an average JCVD movie. I don't think he is as bad an actor as the critics make out, and in this film he gives a very creditable performance with sublety and depth. The storyline is intriguing and offers a plausible reason for a Frenchman to be in New York - unlike other JCVD films where he's called Eddie or Darren and we have to pretend he hasn't got an accent! If only his management could find more scripts like this - then he could flex his acting muscles for a change.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ace van Damme beat 'em up, 7 May 2003
By Pete Murphy - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Another finely crafted Jean-Claude van Damme movie sees him teamed up with mad Hong Kong action director Ringo Lam in what's probably his most twisty-turny action thriller yet.
Out to find the killer of the twin brother he never knew he had, French cop Alain Moreau travels across the Atlantic to the US. Cue some excellent full-on violent fisticuffs, explosive gunfights, manic car chases with battered old rust bucket Renaults getting (literally) smashed to pieces, bad guys wielding chainsaws... this is van Damme and Ringo Lam going full tilt, no holds barred and you'd be hard pushed to find a better JCVD action flick than this. The plot has you wondering what's going to happen next and keeps the story rolling along at a fair old pace.

The disc's another winner from Columbia. Although the only extra is the trailer (an adrenaline pumped actionfest set to The Prodigy's Firestarter), this is one of van Dammes finest, if not his most enjoyable action outing and worth a place on your shelf.
