At this stage of his career, Jean-Claude Van Damme was having trouble convincing people that he was up to handling one role, so it was a tad ambitious for him to take on two in this otherwise straightforward action thriller. In a performance that adds new meaning to the term identical twins, Van Damme is equally wooden as the two brothers - one good, one a bit of a rogue - who are reunited to avenge the death of their parents. However, there's plenty of biffing, kicking and explosions for those who like that sort of thing, and reliable support from Geoffrey Lewis.

Jean Claude Van Damme plays a dual role as Alex and Chad, twins separated at the death of their parents. Chad is raised by a family retainer in Paris, Alex becomes a petty crook in Hong Kong. Seeing a picture of Alex, Chad rejoins him and convinces him that his rival in Hong Kong is also the man who killed their parents. Alex is suspicious of Chad, especially when it comes to his girlfriend.
