Believe it or not there were some high-ish expectations when this came out: director Steve de Souza had written Die Hard, Jean Claude Van Damme looked like really crossing over into the big leagues after Universal Soldier, Raul Julia was the villain... yes it was based on a video game but that wasn't considered a kiss of death then.
Well, the result was a garbage film which lacked excitement and logic. Most strikingly it's confusing when and where this is set, and who are the goodies and why they are good. There's also a real lack of streetfighting. However some of the Thailand locations are pleasing and there's camp value seeing Kylie Minogue in it.
