Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A LITTLE MEDIOCRE AT FIRST, BUT GIVE IT SOME TIME
Review: A COP [VAN DAMME] IS ASSIGNED TO POSE AS A NEW INMATE AT A PRISON TO INVESTIGATE THE REASONS BEHIND A SERIES OF MURDERS THAT'RE HAPPENING AT THE PRISON. IT STARTS OUT KINDA BORING, BUT AFTER A WHILE, IT GETS BETTER. THIS MAY NOT RANK AMONGST THE BEST MOVIES THAT VAN DAMME HAS DONE, BUT IT IS A LOT BETTER THAN MANY OF THE VAN DAMME MOVIES THAT'VE CAME OUT IN RECENT YEARS. IT'S WORTH RENTING IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY SEEN THIS.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Gripping and entertaining
Review: An enjoyable combination of a fast-paced plot, a voluptuously seedy background and extra-violent action.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Up the Irons
Review: As a longtime afficianado of the Van Damme oeuvre, I can honestly say that this film does right by the requisite cliches (where prison movies are concerned), and is actually not bad for repeated viewings.

Similar in pace to Stallone's "Lock-Up" and slightly less entertaining, but still pretty good, "Death Warrant" gets higher marks than it should because of the action (well-choreographed until the climax, which is stricly by-the-numbers Van Damme signature moves), the moody lighting and production accuracy, and Robert Guillaume and Patrick Kilpatrick as the veteran inmate and omnipotent nemesis, respectively.

Van Damme still had a few films to go before he reached his peak, but this was a step in the right direction.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great action,no plot
Review: good movie overall,i didn't really get the plot it was the action that interested me.watch it.i seriously got lost in the action and wasnt even following the plot.lots of great action and the final fight is something to remember.buy it,rent it,do whatever with it,just watch it

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: WOW!! Van Damne is in prison
Review: I liked this movie, filled with a couple of fight scenes.At the end he fights the sandman,across Van Damne kicked his ass.This is a good slambanging Van Damne flick.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: One of Van dammes best movies, tough action
Review: I love this movie, It had a great story and Van Damme has some great scenes in it. The fighting is legendary, and the final scene is trademark Van Damme. The grimace and fire is intense.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Van Damme takes it to a whole new level...
Review: If you would of said Van Damme back in 1990,people would of responded he was in Bloodsport or Kickboxer which were simply martial art type of films.Van Damme stepped up to the level with Schwarzenegger and Stallone in this box-office hit.Even though jail movies have been done before like Stallones "Lockup" and Sean Penn's "Bad Boy's" Death Warrant took it into overtime,having a convincing villian in the "Sandman" and a believing hero in Van Damme.An undercover cop in jail?Dangerous if you ask me but Van Damme fights the odds and comes up victorious in an all out supercharged war.With fast pace kicks and fight sequences Van Damme is your ticket to nonstop action...

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Another Van Damme punchfest
Review: Jean-Claude is at it again as a cop who goes undercover in the prison system to investigate a plot involving corruption among the cell guards.

The film heats up when Van Damme's arch-rival, a psychopathic killer who for some reason, which is never explained, can withstand bullets and other fatal moves, shows up at the prison and exposes him as an undercover cop.

If you're in for Van Damme, you know what to expect though this is a lot slower and less action-filled than a lot of his other features.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Ponderous and needlessly unpleasant.
Review: Now Jean Claude Van Damme is an action superstar,I should imagine he's probably desperate to write stuff like this off his CV. Death Warrant is an admittently entertaing,but soporific and unpleasantly violent affair,told with very little conviction.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Reasonably Van Dammaged
Review: This film is actually a lot better than it gets credit for, and the reasons for this are the 'Coma'-inspired plot, and the fun supporting cast, which includes Robert Guillaume as a veteran inmate. Endlessly quotable.
