The energetic action isn't quite enough to overcome an undernourished story. [Blu-Ray]

A standard Van Damme pic, competently assembled but with little of the manic edge found in director Lam's Hong Kong movies.

Action flicks should be fun, and this one is a bloody bore.
September 25, 2003
For sweet bloody thrills, this one beats the summer blockbuster competition hands-down.

The plot holds together pretty well, which is not always the case in Van Damme's movies, and does not require the concoction of labored explanations for his pronounced accent.

It's a visceral delight that refuses to be deterred by niceties of plot or character consistency and prefers sweat to emotion.

There are so many car crashes in Maximum Risk that Van Damme ends up playing second fiddle to an ever-expanding salvage operation.

...the movie has some good moments of intrigue and adventure, and with a more charismatic hero it might have worked better.

Premium Van Damme...Henstridge is eye-poppingly appealing

It just simmers down, becoming an embarrassing exercise in the pointless and predictable.

Villains curl their upper lip and snarl in bad Russian accents, while Van Damme bungles four-word sentences.

Lam not only handles the bravura action set pieces with ease but also a capable international cast as colorful and varied as the film's many locales.
