Summary: Van Damme good
Review: Its a good movie, not his best, but worth the money

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A Ringo Lam action fest.
Review: Look, Van Damme films will never be in a class that I consider good fare. His stuff is usually thin on plot, full of laughable dialogue, and fist-thick on martial arts. Does that mean that I don't watch his stuff? No it doesn't. I've watched his movies because there are times that I don't want to think, just escape, and he provides just that in "Maximum Risk". Out of his movies that I have seen, this one turned out to be one of his best, if not the best (but honestly, he doesn't give us a lot to choose from).

"Maximum Risk" is an extremely violent movie with a very high body count. I lost track of the dead early on. While the plot is as thin as always (Russian mafia, twin brother, beautiful girl), Ringo Lam pumps it up with some nifty car chases (if you like that sort of thing) and provides the viewer with one heck of a ride as we step over the bodies. This is non-stop action from the get-go, and the fight scenes (yes, there are many) are hard-hitting and brutal, yet believable (almost a first).

For those that like Van Damme, this movie should be high on your list. For the rest of us, well, it is violent and even mean-spirited, but I ended up enjoying the ride, and the credit must go to director Lam. Between 1 and 10, "Maximum Risk" gets a solid 6.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: action pack ride!

Summary: A great movie by Van Damme, and a BEAUTIFUL ACTRESS
Review: The movie is very action packed. The Movie has a plot-Van Damme has to stop drug traffikers from getting their way in society. There are fight scenes, and they are good. The woman actress is a very beautiful woman with a good body, and has a very beautiful image. She knows how to act. I recommend this film to all races, Anglo people, Latin People, Asian People, etc. Van Damme[Jean Claude Van Varenberg]is a fantastic actor who should receive an oscar for his fine performances in most of his films. Some of his films are average, but those that are good, are good.Many people might cut down this actor, because they are envious of the fact that he is gifted by life, and he is a good actor, and he has good love scenes with pretty girls [in the movies], and has pretty women in this country and around the globe who love him alot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Damme Good Action Movie!!!
Review: THIS HAS TO BE ONE OF VAN DAMME'S TOP 3 MOVIES. There is plenty of action and excitement that will make you want to watch it over and over again. Natasha Henstridge is down right sexy and georgeous. She played a perfect role in this movie. The movie was well-acted and thought it deserved a 5 star. This movie is a must-own on DVD. The sound quality is great as well as the picture. *Van Damme kicks plenty of...

Summary: Great movie
Review: This is a great movie. It has action, adventure and even a little romance. A film for people who want more out of a action film then just blood, sex and violence.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's got Natasha, who cares about anything else
Review: This movie has Natasha Henstridge in it, who cares how bad the rest of it is.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of JCVD's best movies!!!
Review: This was a great flick that had action from start to finsh! If you like a lot of shootouts, car crashes, and SUPER HOT women like Natasha Henstridge then you will love this movie. The director Ringo Lam (from Replicant) does a great job with all the camera angles. The best angles were when JCVD does his shooting and the stunts were amazing. This is plain and simply a great movie.

Rating: 4 stars
