An average movie

When I started to go the movies on my own, I was just about 12 years old. My first passion were action movies, I was a huge fan of Jean-Claude Van Damme and I had watched virtually all his flicks on vhs at the time. So, when I heard that this movie was coming out, I was totally excited and I definitely had to see it in the theater. I remember it very well, I went to see it with my brother but the people working there wouldn’t allow him to watch it (he must have been 9 or 10 years old at the time) so I said he should see instead ‘Batman Returns’ (in retrospect, how they figure out it was an Ok choice for him is beyond me…). Since my little brother also really wanted to see this flick as well, he was really pissed off and he resented me for making him watch a movie he didn't care about all but there was no way I wasn’t going to watch it because he couldn’t get inside. Anyway, at the time, Van Damme was really at the height of his popularity and it is probably one of the few decent movies he has made through his career. Obviously, it is not really amazing and rather clunky sometimes, but it remains a decent SF flick with a cool showdown with Dolph Lungren as the bad guy so I think it is actually worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
