...admittedly, one can't help but admire the duel that ends with Van Damme gouging out his opponent's eyes.
Audience Reviews for Second in Command
Good action!
Super Reviewer
Second in Command is a modest action thriller joint that delivers the goods in a fast-paced and intense fashion, even though the whole one-idea set-up is familiarly derived. The premise starts off at a breakneck pace and then tightly builds up to its chaotic siege situation with a exhilarating climax with some organic grit. Along the way it offers up a surprise or two and there's no real political interference in how they shape the story, despite the topic at hand and flawed nature. The basic script won't set the film alight, but never falls into any cheesy mumbling. The action scenes, which for this type of film is what we are actually hanging around for. Are handled with great vigour and the set-pieces can raise a sweat. Jean-Claude Van Damme is capably good and fit's the mould perfectly, with his downtrodden and workman like performance of a more beatable and humane character than anything overly heroic.

Does not disappoint Van Damme as Soldier Cyborg assigned to defend U.S. Presdient hiding out in U.S. Embassy following an attempted coup d'etat.
