Summary: 3 for a Van Damme movie; 1 otherwise
Review: Warning: Spoiler

I have to give credit to the fact Van Damme's character didn't sleep with the main female character. That earns a star in itself.

The other two stars are based off the fact this is a Van Damme film. He has a low batting average when it comes to some great movies, and I'm not counting "box-office" hits. That means squat!

Too much punch, pause, kick, pause...it's hard to believe the opponent couldn't see the attack coming given a few seconds warning. There is a somewhat plausible plot and a few good fight scenes; Damme's first under the bridge and another time in a pool.

There is quite a bit of "F" words and they basically come from his so-called manager. Enhances the stereotype.
If you want a good early Van Damme film go for "Bloodsport" or "Cyborg." Otherwise, def. check out his latest works, "In Hell" and "Wake of Death." The latter two are rather surprising.
