Some sources erroneously report that this movie is a sequel to Double Team (1997). The only thing both films have in common is the presence of Dennis Rodman (who was not called Simon in Double Team but Yaz).

Goofs

When Ashton has Claire tied up in his library, he goes outside to meet her father. After acquiring the disk he goes to test it. When we next see Ashton he is in a car on the way back to his house, presumably from checking the disk. But when he reached his house, he goes back inside to check the disk there. It is unclear as to why he then even left his house in the first place, if the equipment he needed was already there.

User Reviews

No. No. No. Bad film. Very bad film!

The acting is amongst some of the worst I've seen in a while, especially from Dennis Rodman. What's that Dennis Rodman a bad actor? Yes! and as hard as it is to believe his 'hilarious' sidekick Nick is almost as bad! Not to mention annoying. I'm not just talking Jar-Jar Binks annoying here, he takes it to a whole new level!

The one redeeming feature about this movie is that some of the action seqences are quite well done. But good action scenes does not a good movie make.

If you like bad acting, bad dialouge and wasting your time then by all means watch this. You won't be dissapointed!
