Since I grew up on action movies in the nineties, and Schwarzenegger was a deity to me, films like this were something I exclusively watched and swallowed. Van Damme was not number one, but he was very close and I had to watch his every movie. Now I'm looking at this again and it's clear to me that it's too over the top, the amount of bullets is epic, some scenes border on comedy, like the scene when Damme hits a snake or when one character is first shot and hit with a high kick and continues to shot him, but still I watch this through imaginary nostalgic pink glasses, so I can't consider movies like this bad. I even think these were super hero movies of the 1990s. The film is exactly in the style of its time (action of the nineties) and director (Woo). A loud movie full of gunfire, explosions and slow motion. Add blood, dangerous and ruthless villains and one of the best action stars - Van Damme, and you get an exceptional fun cocktail. I recommend this cocktail when you are ready for a loud party.
