Firstly, this film had enough potential to become a decent watch. The action sequences are fairly well shot and although are somewhat sub par to the original are much better than the previous sequels in the series.
The big let down is the supposed "REUNION" of Van Damme and Lundgren. With the fact that both actors actually agreed to come back, its a shame the script didn't deliver the scenes to capitalise on their history. There is a huge lack of screen time between the two and only a vague hint that they know one another from the past. Also Lundgren, doesn't really need to be in this film, his character didn't add anything to the story and actually just makes things a little more confusing.
Overall this had great potential and a fair bit of hype considering, but don't be fooled by the advertisements of the two original characters back together because what we see on screen is NOT Andrew Scott, but a shell of a once great and terrifying character.
Pick up for a mindless movie to watch with your mates, but don't expect to get the level of the brilliant original.
