All those people who have said that this movie is a total spoiler or those people who passed the remarks "don't buy this movie" are all Van Damme haters. After Replicant this was the second best JCVD direct to DVD! Yeah... Full review

The film sees Van Damme star as Sam Keenan who is given the task of protecting the new president of Moldavia (made up? Maybe!) from violent protesters and ardent supporters of the country's previous regime. Essentially this is a siege movie,... Full review
