SnoopyStyle Stavros (Mickey Rourke) is about to sell Plutonium, stolen from the US, to the Iraqis. It is the final mission of secret agent Jack Quinn (Jean-Claude Van Damme) to stop him, and he barely escapes stealing back the Plutonium. It's 3 years later in the South of France, Jack is retired with his pregnant wife. But Stavros is back and the CIA needs Jack to track him down. Dennis Rodman costars as flamboyant arms dealer Yaz.It's almost painful to watch Dennis Rodman act with Van Damme. Van Damme was never the most natural actor around with his accent. I've often wonder if he should speak in other languages when he's playing secret agents. Reading subtitles would be an improvement.The action is pretty good. The movie starts off with a major truck chase. It gets off on the right foot. Things blow up, bullets are flying, everybody is kung fu fighting, and there is mayhem everywhere in this movie. I have no complaints about the action.But there is nothing that can be done with all the bad acting. The story is ridiculous and stupid. It's trying very hard to be something big. While it has most of the look, the movie is nothing more than sub par.

Raul Faust For those who like movies that involve bombs, shots, broken glasses and lack of reason or reality, this movie will work. It's just one of those movies where Van Damme defeats his team (in this case, his double team) and we get to see some adrenalin scenes and we really want the main actor to win. Also, I was expecting to see more fight scenes and less easy kills with guns. You know, body fighting is much more thrilling and more entertaining than just shooting and killing.I remember enjoying his movies when I was younger, but nowadays I prefer a well written story/plot instead of cheap killing spree without a purpose. Anyways, not a bad movie at all, but isn't my type.

Viva_Chiba A lot of people call "Indipendence Day" a "masterpiece" or a "good blockbuster". A lot of people call "Double Team" a "crappy movie" or a "plothole fest", since that people claims that "Indipendence Day" is a good movie, why i can't say that Double Team is cool and better than Indipendence Day ?The movie stars Jean Claude Van-Damme (playing the character Jack Quinn), i don't care about your opinion, most of people hate him because of his "bad acting" (seriously, do you care about acting ?), but he have a lot of potential and like in most of his movies, he shows good skills in martial arts. Dennis Rodman (playing the character Yaz), is another actor that everyone hates because of his "bad acting", but i liked his performance as a sidekick. Mickey Rourke (playing the character Stavros), plays the villain, good performance also.Double team is directed by Tsui Hark, a awesome Hong Kong director, i liked Double team as i liked his movies made in Hong Kong.The action scenes are great, we get both martial arts fighting and shootouts.The score is great also, the music in the credits by Crystal Waters (featuring: Dennis Rodman), made me watch it until the credits rolled to the last second.The cheesy CGI effects had their fashion. Also, there is a small surprise in the ending, involving coke vending machines, don't worry i am not going to spoil it.I am not expecting some academy award winner, it's an action movie ! Who care about plot holes ?

Deniz Ziya Toroslu This is not a very good movie, but pretty good, stylish and enjoyable, so one of Van Damme's bests. I don't see Jean Claude Van Damme as a bad actor, may be because I like him, he was one of my childhood heroes. It seems that he did what people wanted from him. Some say that he is hopelessly untalented, but he has a pulling power, hasn't he? Otherwise, now there would not have been a lot of Van Damme fans, even if they have lessened day after day. I watched almost all his films except his first movie and a few of his recent movies and to me Double Team is from his golden period. By the way, I learned that Tsui Hark hates John Woo's The Killer. If you ask me, he is absolutely right. Because according to many people The Killer is a great action film, but to it was extremely slow paced except the final part and not stylish. Probably, like me, Hark had sat down to watch an action movie, but it was not. Double Team is non stop action. In comparison with some recent soap bubble and very slow paced action movies like The Sentinel or The Shooter, Double Team is not only very fast paced, but also pretty stylish. However, the most odd thing is that even the ratings of the awful movies of Van Damme such as Second in Command, Wake of Death, In Hell, The Order or Inferno are higher than Double Team. ??? The whole movie is fun owing to Hark, Van Damme and Rodman who adds color to the movie. Watching Rourke who brings a pessimistic tone to the movie is also interesting. The operation in the funfair part consists of very stylish action scenes. This colorful part is one of the best parts of the movie. As you know, all of the early Van Damme films include training scenes, they are famous for those scenes, too (to me) In Double Team, there is a training scene too. The only flawed point comes in the end, the end was unrealistic with bad CGI. And the images I have not forgotten since 1997. The face of Van Damme in the end of the hospital scene, the face of Mickey Rourke in the stadium, finger scene and Rodman's question: ''Did you open it?''
