Nearly 25 years after seeing his father killed by Hong Kong crime boss Raymond Zhang (Philip Chan Yan Kin), Chad Wagner (Jean-Claude Van Damme) is living in Los Angeles as a flourishing yet peaceful martial arts trainer. But Chad has a twin brother, Alex (also Van Damme), who suddenly reunites with his less-aggressive sibling and wants to avenge their father's death. As the pair plan their payback against Zhang, they also struggle to overcome their personal differences.

Lawrence of Arabia it ain't. But who cares? The fighting is great, the action nonstop and this guy has killer legs from hell that can drop a 500-pound ninja before he can say Bruce Lee.

I feel a twinge of nostalgia for the bargain-basement Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee pictures, which had fewer pretensions and projected a crazed intensity.

Packed with the sort of material one would expect from a middling JCVD programmer.

Van Damme clearly enjoyed the competing roles, and watching him glower and chomp on a cigar as Alex makes one wish he had been cast as the villain more frequently.

...agreeably familiar (and over-the-top) subject matter that’s employed to palpably lackluster effect by Lettich...

5/10

Although it meanders and goes on for entirely too long, the finale does boast some long-awaited duels and confrontations – and unusually cathartic violence against a slew of deserving brutes.

This is cheese with a hint of extra cheese... But I LOVE IT! Seriously anything JCVD did in the 80's and early 90's was a thing of beauty! What is better than one JCVD... Two JCVD's I just hope the sequel that has been long talked about will become a thing I mean who doesn't want not one JCVD, not two JCVD's but THREE JCVD'S Alex and Chad have another brother! I mean come on!

Watching this movie now it basically causes an ironical smile, but back then it was a revered piece of cinema for a young boy, who admired everything that strong guys did on the screen.

After a lot of success in the video rentals someone threw some money at JCVD's next movie. Unfortunately, after the guilty pleasure of Bloodsport, Kickboxer and A.W.O.L. came this... JCVD is one dimensional at best and the extra dialogue and reliance on him as a charismatic actor stops this film in its tracks.
