Death Warrant is a pretty action packed prison movie starring "The Muscles From Brussels" Jean Claude Van Damme. JCVD goes deep undercover to investigate the mysterious deaths of prisoners to unveil a more sinister agenda, he must fight to bring this to light and for his life. JCVD is actually a good actor now, back then not so much. Even so with all of his awesomely bad delivery of lines like "I don't pay, I don't punk" and "I hear, that a lot of guys are dying" only add to my enjoyment of the movie. Uber super villain The Sandman, who is a serial killer that is seemingly unstoppable as Jason Voorhees brings a horror/slasher element that draws certain similarities to The Hero And The Terror And Cobra. Our hero Burke(JCVD) has his hands full and even with his karate and steroids is the underdog in this prison actioner. Overall, Death Warrant is definitely dated and a bit cheesy, but I say that in the best possible way as I am nostolgic for this era of action movies and love to revisit them. Death Warrant is one of my favorite of JCVD's early action flicks.
