i have hear that this movie wasn not typical van damme and but i still expect it to be mindless action on the whole . i be shock when it turn out to be truly well do and and not just for a van damme movie . the acting be great and especially rosanna arquette performance and and the story be not cheesy at all it actually compel . the ( sparse ) fight sequence do not involve any weird van damme midair split kick to the head while theyre straight ahead brawl . this be definitely van damme best and focus on story and not action and but i guess his presence make a lot of people overlook it . my rating represent positive .
