Knock Off Reviews

Though the jokey lines seem out of place, the somber tone of this 1998 action movie makes the political subtext more sincere and less grandiose than usual.

Full Review

The last blast of the summer is an exuberantly cheesy action opus featuring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Rob Schneider as an improbable pair of gung-ho heroes.

Full Review

Suffice it to say that it plays exceptionally badly in English.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4

For hardcore Van Damme and Sparks fans only.

Jean-Claude Van Damme and Rob Schneider star. If you need more of a review than that, go ahead and give it a rental.

| Original Score: 1/5

Only for Van Damme's die-hard fans

The fact that hardly anything makes sense in the film didn't discourage Tsui Hark.

Full Review | Original Score: 5/10

The immediate reaction after seeing this movie aims to match it with a more appropriate title modeled from the direction and acting: Jack Off.

| Original Score: 0/5

Knock Off could not be much worse if it tried to be.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

Alternately the best and the worst action movie ever made, and it ends up being one big uneven mess.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4

The plot is as incomprehensible as the dubbing, and many of the special effects are neither special nor effective.

Full Review

It bears an authentic brand name.

Full Review

One of Van Damme's best movies ever.

Full Review

Far too hard to follow for a beat-up movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5

Was a film ever more appropriately titled than Knock Off?

Full Review

Almost worth attending for the experience of seeing how low film makers can sink in their never-ending quest to bilk the action picture audience out of a few hard-earned dollars.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4

Action-packed, cheesy, and not worthy of the Academy's attention, but, for those so inclined, it is worth the rental price.

Full Review | Original Score: 70/100

Jean Claude Van Damme's recent string of films haven't been too inspiring, and Knock Off doesn't do anything to change the trend.

Full Review | Original Score: 0.5/4

Bumbles and fumbles its way through a messy plot, advancing from each dreary subplot to the next with no hint of a coherent storyboard.

Most of the crowd simply walked out briskly, shaking their heads and loudly discussing how amazingly bad the film was. These people renewed my faith in humanity.
