Legionnaire (1998)

You may not think you'll like it, but you will.
Favorite Movie Quote: "I came out here to find a life. Now I realize I've been looking in the wrong place. It ain't out here."
I know, another Van Damme picture, but don't write it off too quickly. Despite the fact that it went direct to video, it really is a good movie, and probably the best job of acting that Van Damme has done.
It has a great supporting cast, too. Remember Steven Berkoff as Lt. Col. Podovsky in Rambo II? "I don't know who you are yet, but I will!" He has the same accent here. He may just be a sergeant now, but he still has that presence.
Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje (Mr Eko from "Lost", The Mummy Returns, The Bourne Identity) also adds greatly to the story of those seeking a new life in the Foreign legion.
Also great jobs from Nicholas Farrell, and long-time Van Damme film actor, Kamel Krifa.
Sure, it's the same story you have heard many times about the Legion, this time being carpet-bombed by the Berbers, but it still is worth your time.
And, the music was great, too.

| YES finally someone admits that they enjoyed a recent Jean-Claude Van Damme flick.....everybody I knows refuses to give him a chance anymore. |
