Very disappointing Van Damme actioner, with the main problem being the lack of action on show.
Come on people, we only watch Van Damme for the fights.
DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND???

The Belgian Bruiser plays Sam, a convict bust out of the armoured truck he's being transported in by his partner in crime, Billy. See, Billy shot a guard in a bank job they were both involved in, but Wam Bamme ended up banged up, and Billy feels guilty.
He gets shot straight away though.
Oh well.
Man Slamme pitches tent - quite literally - near a small town where evil property developers have moved in to build a new town, and all that stands in their way is a single mom - she lost her husband two years ago, and was left to bring up two kids and run the ranch all by her lonesome - and now they have decided to get heavy.
Good thing Man Slamme popped by.
Naturally, they fall in love, but how can it end happily with Le Belgique on the run from The Law?

Essentially, an extended epiosde of The A-Team, but without the kitsch charm of that show, and even the violence is not too far removed from Mr T's cabbage shooting lengths of pipe. Aside from the occasional tit shot and the odd bit of swearing, this could easily be Saturday afternoon kiddie fodder.
Yawn.
