Disappointing
Low rent sequel
A cheapie and belated sequel to the Van Damme classic with action man Scott Adkins taking over the lead role. Be warned, this one's substantially lower budgeted than the John Woo film, so the action scenes aren't particularly impressive even though there's a lot of them. The best thing about this one is the change of setting, with the Thai jungle locations looking really nice. Robert Knepper copies Lance Henriksen a lot as the main bad guy, but Temuera Morrison and Rhona Mitra bring some presence and Adkins continues to wow in the fight stakes. The action is average, though, which brings it down a degree, and the overreliance on slow motion hurts it somewhat.
