Advantages: A kick ass movie Disadvantages: It's not rocket science
...like the fight scenes though, and whilst the acting is laughable, it's well shot and doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. And the laydeeeeez (and some of the guys I guess) are gonna love seeing Mr Damme in double vision. So everyone's a winner. ...
