Like John Woo and Ringo Lam before him, noted Hong Kong action director Tsui Hark made his American filmmaking debut with a thriller starring Jean-Claude Van Damme. For this film, Hark also had the pr... read more read more...ivilege of guiding basketball star Dennis Rodman through his first dramatic role. American anti-terrorist agent Jack Quinn (Van Damme) has retired from duty, content to stay with his pregnant wife at his seaside hideaway. However, the CIA lure him back into duty for one last mission: wiping out crazed international terrorist Stavros (Mickey Rourke). Quinn flies to Antwerp to ambush Stavros, but his plan fails; Quinn is captured and imprisoned in "The Colony," a prison camp for spies "too valuable to kill and too dangerous to set free." To further torture Quinn, Stavros kidnaps Quinn's wife; after she gives birth to their son, Stavros keeps him captive, surrounded by land mines and wild animals. Quinn escapes and makes plans to rescue his wife and child, but he can't do it alone, so he seeks the help of Yaz (Rodman), a top-level underground arms merchant with a tendency towards flamboyant body modification. Rodman also appears with R&B vocalist Crystal Waters on the song "Just a Freak" which appears on the film's soundtrack. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Van Damme kicks a tiger in the face, i'll give some credit to that. Tsui Hark can't keep the camera in the same place for more than 5 seconds.

    This stylish action show high style, energy and speed with Van Damme and giant Rodman. Tsui Hark US debuts starring Van Damme - this was by far the weaker one.

    Double Team stars Jack Quinn (Jean-Claude Van Damme) as counter terrorist agent who is assigned one last job, and unites with Dennis Rodman to catch international terrorist Stavros. (Mickey Rourke) Dennis Rodman didn't do such a bad job after all, but he is not a very good actor.... read more Some of the fights scenes will blow you away while other things will make you laugh until you cry. Mickey Rourke is menacing as the main bad guy and looked pretty hot.

Hark for plunging us in a disastrous scenario inspired by..what exactly?The Colliseum???Kudos for Rourke and for that only performance I raise my one star.Moreover,I bet Hark has done a gazillion more horrifi... read morec films.

Rodman is more fun to watch here than either co-star, given his array of earrings and nose rings, plus hair that changes color more frequently than the first lady changes her do.

The pinnacle of suck.

Exactly as bad as you'd imagine a Van Damme-Rodman collaboration to be.

A gimmick movie, worth a look on cheap rental night.

The talent of the director is not quite enough to make up for the minimal ability exhibited by some of the other people working on the production. Full Review
