Well, I wasn't expecting such a dramatic movie, but this one really
made me cry, especially at the ending scene. The movie begins in
Djibouti, where a legionary camp is placed. The casting is wisely done.
Especially the guys which were following Lion in US. Deborah Rennard is
very cool. I think she deserved better in Hollywood. Harrison Page
perfectly fits in his role. And Van Damme... Maybe he should have made
more drama movies, he proved he is good at it. You should have this on, if you are a fan of Van Damme, I think it is his best movie, even better than Bloodsport. Well we're expecting more drama movies from Van Damme.
