This is one of Van Dam's best movies. The fights scenes are amazing with the Russian Assassin. One of the greatest fight scenes I have seen was the steam room brawl. The part where the russian godfather gets popped in the head and chest is great. Also the close quarters fight scene in the elevator is amazing. The dude gets stabbed in the foot, now thats what i call original. If for nothing else, watch this movie for the great sex scene with Natasha whats her name…ahh who cares, she looks great nude. Well, I think this movie is definitly worth your time. Great Plot, Great Action 9/10.
This appears to have been Ringo Lam's experiment to see if he could an American-style B-movie. In one interview, Lam said he had wanted to explore the theme of double identity a little deeper, but it just didn't get done. In the New York sequence, we do get a hint that Alain has become a voyeur watching his own brother's life, but it doesn't really amount to much.<br/><br/>So the film remains a B-movie; and unfortunately, AS a B-movie, it has some uncomfortable flaws. I don't mean the stereotypes or the formulaic action scenes, those are what B-movies are all about; I mean a plot that, while laid out for us in explicit expository dialog (too much so, really) yet it still feels confusing. I think this is primarily due to a complete absence of any narrative push or pull. One instance: for a cop to go undercover with the Russian mob, with no back-up, no plan, no exit strategy, just because he feels a little weird about finding a dead twin brother he never knew he had - makes absolutely no sense at all.<br/><br/>In fact, none of the supporting characters, including the lead female, do anything that makes much sense; so a nonsensical cop goes undercover to meet nonsensical characters, of course they're going to develop a nonsensical plot.<br/><br/>It must be noted that this film evidences absolutely NO research into the workings of the Police, the FBI or the Russian mob. This film has less such research behind it than The Boondock Saints, which never pretends to be other than pure fantasy. But director Lam certainly knows better than this! Wild Search, City on Fire, the Prison on Fire films - all his Chinese language films are rich with details of the workings of Hong Kong's criminal justice system.<br/><br/>I suppose Lam simply wanted to show that he could make an "American" B-movie; but this isn't enough to make audiences want to see the film.<br/><br/>The positives are that is is very well performed by all the actors; the action scenes are fast and brutally realistic; and Van Damme, in one of his better, more restrained performances, does manage to generate empathy for his character. So it is certainly watchable -a B-movie.<br/><br/>But I wish Lam had been allowed to make the film he originally intended, one with an engaging theme that would have driven the plot to make it feel compelling.<br/><br/>As it is, we have some interesting action set-pieces - but that's all.
