Van Damme Scores Again, 14 March 2002
8/10
Author: movieman55 from USA

Van Damme scores again. I must admit to being a pretty big Van Damme fan. Some of my favorites are Hard Target, Sudden Death, Double Team, and Replicant. Heck I even enjoyed Legionnaire. However, when I viewed Desert Heat I was extremely disappointed. When I heard Replicant was coming out I had great reservations, but ended up not only liking it but putting it as one of my favorite Van Damme films. With expectations raised I picked up "The Order" and was not disappointed. After a nifty little prologue the action starts with a nice little heist and seems to never let up. The action scenes are top notch, including martial arts, car & motorcycle chases, and shootouts. Van Damme is great in the fight scenes and seems to be in great shape. He also injects some nice humor into the role. Director Sheldon Lettich infuses the flick with some nice energy and good use of slo mo/fast motion. I also liked the flicks editing, especially of the action scenes and also the use of the "wipes". Although this flick does not give Van Damme the chance to give a juicy performance like in Replicant or have much character depth, it is still a lot of fun. Van Damme is getting back to what his fans want to see him to most and that is kick some major butt. At only 89 minutes The Order is a fun, action packed ride. 8 out of 10
