 I watched this flick for the 3rd time this morning and it's definitely in my Van Damme top 5. Ringo Lam directed this forgotten JCVD masterpiece that actually went #1 at the box office at its release. Jean-Claude stars as Alain Moreau, a French police officer who learns that a man who looks exactly like him was just murdered in France, who turns out to be his brother, a big name with the Russian in New York. Alain chooses to uncover this conspiracy with his dead twin's girlfriend, narrowly avoiding the Russians as well as 2 corrupt FBI agents. The action in this is very well-done and highly intense, thanks to magnificent Asian director Ringo Lam (City on Fire, In Hell). Also, the story is quite nicely written and features an excellent, action-packed finale and a sex scene with Natasha Henstridge. I highly recommend this to all Lam and JCVD fans. |

The ending is very emotional. I almost cried watching it.  |

It's a great movie. I dig the story and the action is pretty good too, the elevator fight being the best action scene. I really liked Van Damme's acting in this movie,I still think it's one of his best performances. Oh yeah,It was really nice to see Natasha Henstridge's breasts too  |

SPOILER
One thing I love about this movie is the finale in the meat-packing plant where JCVD is being chased by the FBI agent wielding a chainsaw. He hangs upside-down on the moving pig-hanger and picks-up the fed's gun and blows-out his kneecaps.
