Movie Review by B Movie Ben
July 2nd, 2008

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.

Not only am I watch Van Damme, I'm watch a double-feature. Stay tuned.
