Jean Claude van Damme both stars in and directs this movie. And the result is pretty good. The movie starts out rather bad, but it becomes better as the story proceeds. I'm a big lover of movies with fighting tournaments, and this one is no exception from that. One especially interesting feature with this movie is that the fighters represent their countries. The different nationalities are a bit overdone, but that's not a major setback for the movie. It was indeed surprising to see Roger Moore in a van Damme-movie. I'm a big fan of him because of his Bond movies and because he doesn't take himself or his roles that seriously. Therefore, he fits perfect in this well made action-flick.
