Van Damme +Tsui Hark +Dennis Rodman=What ?? Really??
Look before i start my review lets be honest about this movie, the movie is dumb and really does not make sense really a movie with Van Damme and Dennis Rodman really what do you expect. But lets also be clear this movie could be a lot of fun viewed in the right light and could almost be considered a really fun piece of garbage. Van Damme starts as a agent who is after Mickey Rourke (really Mickey really) while after Mickey, Mickey wife and child gets killed and now Mickey is really bad and spends the whole film trying to kill Van Damme. Van Damme needs help and so he enlist the help of Dennis Rodman(what did the Chicago Bulls cut him from the roster) who is a gun dealer. Well that is all the plot you really need, I mean what i just described could be action gold, not really i mean there is a lot of plot holes and a lot of scenes that just don’t make sense. And now i come to the great director Tsui Hark ( i know if you just seen this film and his other movie starting Van Damme Knock Off you could be asking yourself “great director my —“) the director who gave us Once upon a time in china 1,2,3,4,5 and Pecking Opera Blues and other great hong kong movies. But this movie is not even in the same area code to these great movies but he does direct the film for all he’s worth and does keep the movie flowing at a great pace and does give us a lot of action and Tsui at least make Van Damme look good as he enlist the great Sammo Hung to do the fights(lets be clear that the stuntman does most of the action for Van Damme) and Tsui Hark even got the great Peter Pau to shoot the film. Yes Peter Pau who went on to win a Oscar a couple years later for shooting Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. In the end all i could say is that you could find worse movies starting Van Damme (there is too many to count) and you could find better like Hard Target,Timecop,or maybe Sudden Death. Double Team get a C+. So there Thank You.
Enjoyable B-movie (if you’re in a forgiving mood)
If you’re into your eighties/nineties action movies, you should probably appreciate muscle-bound heroes thumping hordes of bad-guys into submission. Yes, the films are hardly ‘high brow,’ but enjoyable if you’re in the right mood. Jean Claude Van Damme has starred in plenty of cheesy ‘so-bad-they’re-good’ films such as ‘Kickboxer, Bloodsport’ and ‘Universal Solider.’ However, despite ‘Double Team’ – sort of – fitting into that genre, it’s one you could probably pass on, unless you really need your fix of the ‘Muscles From Brussels.’JCVD plays, er, some sort of special ops soldier who, er, ends up fighting bad guys. Do you really need a plot synopsis? He kicks, he punches and he shoots his way through the usual faceless henchmen, but – and here is about the film’s only real stand-out selling point – he does it alongside NBA megastar Dennis Rodman.
By all accounts Rodman hasn’t starred in too many films and, based on what I saw here, that’s quite a shame. I know he’s allegedly a bit of a diva in real life and nowadays has ‘questionable’ friendships, but (in ‘Double Team’ at least) he really is quite a larger-than-life character and steals every scene from the more ‘straight-laced’ Van Damme. They play off each other really well and Rodman comes across as a taller, even more flamboyant Wesley Snipes from ‘Demolition Man.’
‘Double Team’ is an okay film in terms of action and plot – there’s nothing you haven’t seen much before. If you’re a Van Damme mega-fan then you could probably do worse than sitting through this – it’s only an hour and a half and it’s hardly ‘hard going.’ Plus if you’re at all curious as to see how Rodman fairs on screen then this will answer all your questions – it’s just a shame he doesn’t really – properly – come into it until the final third. The bad guy is Mickey Rourke, but don’t expect too much from him as he’s barely on screen and I didn’t even know it was him until I saw his name in the end credits!
If you like action B-movies like ‘Under Siege’ then ‘Double Team’ does fall short of that, which is a shame, as with a bit better writing and polish overall then it could have been a hidden gem rather than a background noise.
