Top CriticThis is one 'return' that's surely welcome!

Top CriticIt's devoid of the full-fledged physical artistry of Jackie Chan or the mesmerizing carnage of the best Hong Kong action flicks.

There's really no excuse for this unhappy return!
01/01/00
Jean-Claude's best days are behind him. Way behind him.
01/01/00
Its sequel is devoid of personality and has an annoying gratuitous sentimental streak.
01/01/00
Stay far, far away from this laughably bad sci-fi action flick!
01/01/00
Cheapo piece of claptrap!

let's hope, for [Van Damme's] sake, that his own return is not riding on this one.
01/01/00
From the opening chase to the closing explosions this one follows the action movie formula to the letter.

Please, even if it means offsetting a planned schedule, do not see this movie. It could be the biggest mistake of your life. I should know: I made it.

[A] gratuitously violent film.
01/01/00
Filling out and greying at the temples, Van Damme is far from convincing, even in the tedious fight sequences.
06/24/06
Despite all the pyrotechnics, I almost dozed off twice!
01/01/00
Top CriticThere's really no hint of tension or excitement whatsoever.

In addition to watching a thoroughly lousy movie, you'll lose an hour and a half of your life you might otherwise spend on considerably more pleasant endeavors, such as having your feet scraped by a podiatrist's scapel...
01/01/00
A disappointing entry to the sci-fi / action-movie canon.
03/05/02
The script is utterly witless.
