This is an entertaining movie, with some good visuals of desert battles between Berbers and the French Foreign Legion. The story is more interesting and meaningful than several other movies I've seen starring John Claude Van Damme.... Full review

Jean Claude fans will love this one but I find it hard to believe many others will
This movie is not intended as much more than a bit of a star vehicle for JCVD and not a great deal happens.

Although running only 99 minutes, LEGIONNAIRE has an epic sweep, a good story and solid performances.
This is a shame since the 35 million-dollar LEGIONNAIRE turns out to be quite entertaining, plus Van Damme proves himself up to the thespian challenge.
