Van Damme does drama
Mar 10, 2005
AwesomeWolf - imdb.com
I found 'Legionnaire' for $10 on a rack labelled "Movies that should never have been made!". I had never seen 'Legionnaire', but on the same rack was the Arnie classic 'Conan the Barbarian'. I decided that whoever was running the... Full review
Certainly different, and uniquely done!

I bought the DVD off the sales rack at Wal-Mart, thinking I could pawn it off after once viewing it. . . .not expecting much of it, even though I am a fan of Van Damme. BUT, it surprised me... Full review
Worth watching even for non van Damme fans

Legionnaire is beautifully photographed and contains both an engaging story (loosely based on Beau Geste) and good performances by the actors. Underrated from the start, the picture undeservedly went straight to video. However, it is not a 10 out of... Full review
What? No kicking?

This has to be one of the oddest, yet best Van Damme films ever. It's not chop-socky martial arts kickboxing crud, and it isn't mindless sci-fi action... it's a war drama. And a surprisingly good one. Van Damme plays Alain,... Full review

Ah yes the French foreign legion , something every schoolboy with a sense of adventure has thought about joining , and something film makers have dedicated a lot of celluloid to . Jean Claude Van Damme made a previous film... Full review

I like history movies, so I like this one. Nice change for Van Damm he plays a different role. The film is interesting to follow. We have the reasons why people joined, and the harshness of being one. A solid... Full review
Excellent Van Damme Flick

A different style Van Damme movie, using no kicks or any fancy martial arts moves. JCVD plays a Legionnaire in this, as in 'Lionheart'. He has a boxing match in this movie, in the beginning. Well directed, and good story-line.... Full review

This film never stops with action! Great plot, acting.This movie is a potential for a continuation of the story, though Van Damme isn't known for his sequels. It's too bad this film was never given the chance at the box... Full review
A pretty good Van Damme picture.

Rick Peach - imdb.com
This is better than most Van Damme films and it has a great score. The film is cliched, but it's a Van Damme picture. I don't think any Van Damme fan wold have it any other way. Some have said... Full review

Cinema Laser
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. ... 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. ... Full Review
