Rating: Summary: A GREAT IDEA WASTED Review: VAn Damme's movies were going nowhere, each one worser than the last one ... Then a good idea came up: why don't try to make a kind of "epic" movie, taking a lengendary theme (the French unit called "Foreigner Legion" )and changing from the custumary scenario of karate kicks and sterotyphed villains who want to rule the world ? Great idea. I bought it. So, what disapointment after watching this.. it became clear that, no matter how many movies he has already made, Van Damme will never improve as an actor... EVery frame of the movie is wasted, making us think that he is being bad orientated by his agents or film-producers. IT's a totally unconving history, without pace and rhythm...

Rating: Summary: Worth a look Review: You will love this movie or you will hate it. People expecting a usual Van Damme karate movie will be suprised to see that there isn't much of that kind of action in it. I watched this movie only a half hour ago and I liked all the way. The acting of Van Damme is at its best (Though its stil not good)This movie goes deeper than other Van Damme Flicks. People who say its boring probably bought this movie because they wanted to see Van Damme kick and punch his opponents to death. Alain Lefevre (Van Damme) joins the foreigner Legion after double-crossing some kind of Maffia guy. In the Legion he makes friends that include a black guy that joined the Legion so he could escape America and go to Africa, an addicted Gambler from the U.K. and a sissy that wanted to prove himself to his Parents in law. They will be followed during the events they have in the Legion. With a good dose of drama and Action, placed in beautiful settings, this movie provided me an entertaining 90 minutes. Its a shame that this movie didn't ended up in the theaters and Universal Soldier: The Return did. This movie is outstanding and without a doubt one of the best movies Van Damme has played in. Not only for Van Damme fans, but for everyone that loves a good movie.
