Stavros (Mickey Rourke) is about to sell Plutonium, stolen from the US, to the Iraqis. It is the final mission of secret agent Jack Quinn (Jean-Claude Van Damme) to stop him, and he barely escapes stealing back the Plutonium. It's 3 years later in the South of France, Jack is retired with his pregnant wife. But Stavros is back and the CIA needs Jack to track him down. Dennis Rodman costars as flamboyant arms dealer Yaz.

It's almost painful to watch Dennis Rodman act with Van Damme. Van Damme was never the most natural actor around with his accent. I've often wonder if he should speak in other languages when he's playing secret agents. Reading subtitles would be an improvement.

The action is pretty good. The movie starts off with a major truck chase. It gets off on the right foot. Things blow up, bullets are flying, everybody is kung fu fighting, and there is mayhem everywhere in this movie. I have no complaints about the action.

But there is nothing that can be done with all the bad acting. The story is ridiculous and stupid. It's trying very hard to be something big. While it has most of the look, the movie is nothing more than sub par.

Van Damme and Dennis Rodman are not a couple ... well not in the movie and not outside of it. But they might both have been in the height of their craziness. One can only imagine what Tsui Hark had to go through ... back in the 90s the really good directors from Hong Kong came over to Hollywood and it seems like they had to do their first movie with van Damme.

Being a fan (even more so back in the day),I had no issue with that. I probably had other values, which I do not regret nor do I think less of most of the films he made. Considering he was mostly under the influence of hard drugs that was quite something ... his performances and the fact the movies were made at all. He survived all that (no pun intended) and while he is not a big star at the moment, his fan base is still there. And he can act ... a shame that is not being utilized more.

If you watch this and the completely crazy story it tells, you may not be entirely be able to tell. There are a lot of things here, that would and I reckon have worked in the Hong Kong movies Hark made. Not all have the same impact in this movie. When it comes to blatant advertising though, this couldn't be more bold ... Coke must have been quite happy with the result ... or maybe not if they didn't like the movie.

Action and stunt set pieces work greatly, Rodman is decent if unstable and all over the place and Mickey Rourke is as buff ... well I don't think I've seen him more buff ... maybe in the Wrestler ... and he goes as crazy as he is allowed to. Handgranades and babies do not mix well ... well a lot of mayhem and a lot of broken glass - Die Hard and Hard Boiled hommages? Maybe, some will like them more than others I reckon ... one thing is for sure, Razzies were not "earned". This is far more entertaining than the worst couple award and the three razzies suggest ... or maybe that is exactly what they suggest?

i can see why people hate this movie so bad i know it's a bit silly and i am Big Fan Of Jean Claude Van Damme and Mickey Rourke and Dennis Rodman was Awesome and Funny but not much as Action Star didn't do much of Movies and in this movie was pretty awesome seeing Van Damme fighting with Rourke and movie wasn't that bad come on if your fan van Damme fan you should enjoy this movie it's fun Movie i don't care what people say and the opening scene when van damme driving the big truck in opening scene was cool and part in of Dennis was funny but they could of got Wesley Snipes rather then Dennis Rodman but it doesn't matter it's still good idea for me and Quinn escapes from the colony and goes after Stavroes for revenge. Quinn is helped by Yaz Dennis Rodman Double Team they helping each another in mission to get his wife and baby and fight scenes with Van and Mickey was Awesome but i know Mickey Rourke doesn't like van Damme with some reason i don't know about but the fight scenes was fun didn't go for that long but you don't need to see long as showdown when van Damme fights were amazing like in Bloodsport if you enjoy Hard Target and Double Impact and Knock off and Kickboxer and Bloodsport this is fun movie that you will Enjoy for Van Damme Fans like this only 4.4 i will give this 10.10
