"About as funny as you'd expect from a Van Damme movie, which is sad, considering he doesn't try to make comedies." -- David Cornelius, Amazing Colossal Website |
|
|
|
"...Van Damme even goes so far as to co-write the script -- though I suspected his contribution was limited to the many lame one-liners peppered throughout the film." -- David Nusair, Reel Film Reviews |
