One of Van Damme's Better Movies !!!, 22 March 2001
Author: Marius Langenes from Bergen, Norway

'Death Warrant' is one of Van Damme's better films. The plot in the movie is pretty good, but the acting could have been better. There is some good fighting-scenes. The best one is the last one, when 'The Sandman', steps out of the fire... I give the movie 6/10 ;-)
