Reviews for Knock Off
Jean-Claude Van Damme and Rob Schneider star. If you need more of a review than that, go ahead and give it a rental.
The fact that hardly anything makes sense in the film didn't discourage Tsui Hark.
The immediate reaction after seeing this movie aims to match it with a more appropriate title modeled from the direction and acting: Jack Off.
Alternately the best and the worst action movie ever made, and it ends up being one big uneven mess.
The plot is as incomprehensible as the dubbing, and many of the special effects are neither special nor effective.
Something of a kaleidoscopic mess of a movie, but it has its moments.
