George P Oct 23, 2018 its a different kind of Vame Damme action some very stylized visuals and story telling.
Luke G Feb 4, 2017 It's your standard revenge plot with Van Damme playing a badass Punisher type character. Everything that happens is predictable and derivative; thankfully Van Damme gives a good enough performance to counterbalance the criminal lack of originality. See more
Theodore S Jun 5, 2015 The great man leaves a really high body count in his wake as he goes on the hunt for revenge.
