Review of Maximum Risk

Maximum Risk (1996)
5/10
Enjoyable action film. One of Van Damme's best.
7 September 1999
My Age: 13

A French policeman, played by Jean-Claude Van Damme, finds that he has a twin brother, but he has just been murdered. Soon all of his brother's problems come to trouble him, as everyone believes that he is his brother, including his brother's girlfriend, Alex, played by Natasha Henstridge. Together they go on the run from the Russian Mafia and the FBI.

"Maximum Risk" is much more fun and entertaining that most of Van Damme's mostly tedious films. Van Damme puts in his usual average performance, and Natasha Henstridge adds some much needed sizzle and romance. There are plenty of fights, explosions and violence as there always are in Van Damme films. It has more plot than most of his films, too.
