An average movie

When I was a kid, I was a huge fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme and I saw all the movies he made at the beginning of his career. Eventually, at around 14 years old, I started to get interested in other kind of movies and I discovered that his movies were not so good after all. Among his 'classics', this movie is neither his best ('Bloodsport'  remains by far his most interesting feature) or his worst, it is basically a typical Van Damme vehicle with a generic and predictable plot. In fact, it has been known under many various titles ('A.W.O.L' in the UK, 'Wrong Bet' in Australia) and, in my opinion, for once, the French title ('Full Contact') was by far the best one.  At least, Van Damme did look fit back in those days and he could seriously kick some ass. Basically, as long as those guys are fighting, it is actually fairly entertaining but, as soon as they stop, it is pretty much unbearable to watch. To conclude, I think it is fine if you are 12 years old and you want to watch some brainless action flick but, otherwise, you should not waste your time with this and watch something else instead.
