Its amazing to me that this movie only received a 5/10. This is Van Damme in his prime and the plot & storyline were as good as they get for a 1990 movie of this genre. It was also one of his movies that incorporated him being from Quebec (yes I know he is from Belgium) which is much more effective in my opinion than some of his other films that portray him as being a cowboy from the U.S. It makes the plot seem much more realistic by at least addressing his accent. I mean, I can't remember ever hearing a cowboy talk like him.
Jean was even accompanied by good actors for once including: Cynthia Gibb, Robert Guillaume, and of course, Patrick Kilpatrick. If you haven't seen this film, (especially if your a Van Damme fan) please give it a try, you won't be disappointed. And for the voters who gave it a 5 or below rating - please watch it again when your not in a depressed state of mind.
Even 'Hard Target' got a 5.7 rating.
