Movie Reviews of Double Impact
Movie Review: Seeying Double
Summary: 2 Stars
Double Impact stars actionstar Jean-Claude Van Damme in his prime. The movie follows two brothers who are united after being separated as baby's by a tragedy. Together they will have to team up to get the guy who is responsible for that event.
The fun part about Double Impact, is that it stars Jean-Claude Van Damme in a double role. With some nice computereffects he is able to interact with himself in the same room. This is a joy to see.
Being an actionfilm, Double Impact sure has alot of action, but in my opinion it was a bit underwhelming. It is all a bit lame and could have been way better. Van Damme is known for being a karatestar and does some kicks in this film, but it just isn't worked out well. A fight against one of the badguys, where both opponents get the change to take off their shirts, was a real letdown and is finished way too quickly and easily.
As for the rest of the action, which features alot of shooting and explosions, the same thing: Alot of it, but not that spectaculair filmed.
Still, if you are a Jean-Claude van Damme fan, add two stars to this review immediatly, cause you won't be dissapointed. That is certainly the main fun of the film: Jean-Claude van Damme times two. Van Damme manages to create two totally different characters, which is a nice job and once again, fun to see. He does it with alot of humour mixed into it. At the beginning of the film I really had the feeling that I was watching Jean-Claude van Damme times two. But after a while I saw them as totally different characters, meaning that Van Damme did a good job.
So a bit of a letdown in action for me, but it has some nice humouristic moments of the two brothers interacting and annoying each other. And if you are a Van Damme fan and you haven't seen this one yet: shame on you and buy this one right now!
For other action fans: rent it sometime, and see if you find it worth buying.
