A fun, great-looking, old-fashoned adventure film in the tradition of Beau Geste. One of Van Damme's best.

Reviews for Legionnaire
Could have been a great film, [but] suffers the fate of its protagonists -- honourable failure.
In its look and feel, the film resembles action adventures of the 40's and 50's, starring perhaps Gary Cooper.
Van Damme delivers a monotonic performance that is sufficient to cure the worst cases of insomnia imaginable -- and that, mes amis, is the good news.
