    Nothing to Spoil Here..it is already rotten

    This movie is just plain bad. Characters are stereotyped, the acting is bad and the fight sequences are horrible. The storyline is simple and the script poorly written. Other than Michael Jao White being in it, this movie has nothing to offer.

    DOA

    This movie is "dead on arrival". A highschool drama club could provide better acting.

    Don't waste your time

    Go watch the 1995 Van Damme flick. This is a sorry remake of the earlier version

    So bad it's fun!

    I knew this was going to be a low budget movie but this is just terrible! The acting is so bad and the story plot is even worst! I wish MJW would be in a good movie for once! Whoever directed this should never ever do another movie agian.

    Copy cat

    Thought it was a comedy movie then saw that it's just a cheap copy cast version of the original movie with JCVD which was way better. This movie totally sucked.

    • Trivia
      Is a remake of Sudden Death (1995) that is more true to the original action-comedy tone intended for that movie before it was re-written as a much more serious action-thriller. Michael Jai White and Sudden Death star Jean-Claude Van Damme appear together in Universal Soldier (1992) and Universal Soldier: The Return (1999).
    • Goofs
      During the escape at the beginning of the movie, the three escapees all are 'blown' by the explosions at different times, including Jesse and the female being thrown before the explosion occurs.
