REVIEW

Alain Moreau's investigation into the death of his identical twin brother leads him from the beauty of the south of France to the mean streets of New York City and into the arms of his brother's beautiful girlfriend. Persued by ruthless Russian mobsters and renegade FBI agents, the duo race against time to solve his brother's murder and expose an international conspiracy.

With two Van Damme's in this film and Natasha Henstridge this is one of my favorite of his movies.

VAN DAMME plays Alain Moreau and his identical twin brother in this film. This is one of Van Damme's best acting film, although this doesn't have alot of martial arts in it, it does have a few scenes.

NATASHA HENSTRIDGE plays Alain's twin brothers girlfriend that falls in love with Alain throughout the film. She gives one of her better performances since her sci-fi box office smash SPECIES.
